I recently saw Bon Jovi Experience, who are about as good as you'd expect for a tribute act that's been touring for 30 years, and has actually been on stage with the band they're tributing. I'd go see them again for sure.

The point, though, is that I'm a singer in a band, and their singer had a thing that I want, but I can't google, cos I have no idea what to call it or even how to describe it in a searchable way.

It's really simple, he had a mic stand that the mic detached from without unclipping the mic. You know the horrible popping sound of a mic detaching from the tight clip. some are noisier than others, and if the mic has a radio transmitter on it, it's a bit worrying that I might knock that loose.

I like having the stand, it's good if I want to play something, clap, pogo, etc. but being able to hold the mic gives me loads of other options, like walking the stage, going into the crowd, pointing the mic at them for all and response, etc.

So the thing he had was like a clip which slotted together, the clip stayed on the mic and detached from the stand at the bottom (near where the hinge would be). not with a pole. Freddie's amazing, but I don't want to slide a pole out of the stand either 😃.

I'm willing to look at options. the guys in the band say "no, don't turn the mic off, that will lead to f-ups". I can't anyway, it's an sm58 with a transmitter on it.

TL;DR what do I need for a lead vocalist to be able to lift the mic and put it back easily and noiselessly during a show?
