A lot of us just screw goose necks onto our existing microphone stands and then whatever microphone or want to screw on to that. Sometimes, we have one of those thingies coming right out of our producers desk. This is nothing that we use for actual music recording. Even though you could. We use drum claws which can be used on other instruments as well. What do you want a goose neck for? Spoken word at a podium? For ease of positioning? Try a boom on a microphone stand. Goose necks all make noise when you are moving them with the microphone on. There is no reason to do that. If there is a reason to do that, chances are, nobody is playing or singing anything and if they are, they're stupid.

I like fried goose livers. Delicious with a little gravy & onions.

Just to clarify, the microphone will be used to capture speech. Similar to what you see used at conferences on TV/news. They are quite inconsipicuous so that they do not block too much of the face when filming. The microphone base will sit on a podium.

I have seen gooseneck microphones attached on the end of boom microphone stands.

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of using any of the models listed and which is the least susceptible to vibration pick-up.

Here is an example of the Shure MX412D/C on a base:

I have a variety of Audix Micro's The Micros - Miniature Microphones - Audix and they work great.

audiokid, thanks for that pointer on the Audix microphones. They seem ideal with protection from RF and spurious emissions too.
