Hi,
I’ve already checked out quite a few sites, and I can’t find any support. The only one I found was the one I made myself, with a camera tripod mount.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance
Happy blowing!
Hey Fränk!
Show us some pics of your DIY project!!!
I’m surprised by your message because you can find this kind of stuff pretty easily on the web:
Here at didgeridoo passion
Hi Jaime,
Yeah that’s true, I should’ve been more creative… ?
I tried with Djembe, and there we have plenty of options ?
Just in case someone was looking for one. I ordered mine ?
Have a good day everyone
Cheers
P.s. I like, I can’t manage to insert the photo of my DIY project ?
Hey, I’ve had the djembe stand for several months now, I got it new for 40 euros on Thomann I think.
The only downside is the extendable length that basically supports the whole didge. If you’re sitting down the didge is often lying pretty horizontal and all that weight puts pressure on the wood at the hooks that hold the toot. I’m not sure I’m being very clear, but with a heavy didge I’d be worried about marking the wood. Already I wrap the didge in foam so I don’t scratch it on the stand. Yeah yeah I know I really care about my pipes!
I see Zalem isn’t worried with his woodslide but I don’t know if he uses the one from didgeridoo passion and maybe it’s longer? Anyway I treated myself back in October and I’m really scared of damaging Jean Yves’ magnificent work.
Two solutions:
-watch colas’ videos, just for fun! And you’ll see he extended his feet with a little wooden plank, but again with a PVC didgeridoo there’s no problem, but it lets you mount a mic at the end so handy
-you can remove the hook and use the foot upside down by attaching the didge just after the mouthpiece and you lay the toot on the ground or on a stool. I’ll remember to take some photos so it makes more sense.
If you guys have any other info I’m all ears!
Yann.
Yes, photos! 
Send me the photos Frank, I’ll post them for you.
@Yanouch
I get what you’re saying about the pressure on the didge. Personally, I’ve never had any issues with that, even though I did wonder about it. It’s more the stability that I sometimes find limited (if the didge is heavy).
As for Zalem, he doesn’t use the didgeridoo-passion stand because he prefers to move side to side and that one is locked once it’s set.
Don’t hesitate to send photos either.
Thanks Gauthier for your reply.
I’m probably a bit too « precious » with my instruments but it’s true that I was afraid when setting down the woodslide, especially on the low notes given the unfolded length. ?
I’m posting photos so we can see how I manage indoors to avoid strain on the wood. It means having to get a second stand for the bell, but for playing indoors it also avoids making the whole building vibrate!
Actually, I think that soon a thread about indoor amplification, not necessarily for recording, would be interesting but I’m getting off track…
I’m also showing how you can easily tinker with a batten to put a mic at the outlet without an extra stand.
P.S: for the photo the didge is a low F wooden sandwich in elm, made by one of my friends in about thirty hours. And to think it was his first and I can’t manage to convince him to keep going!
sorry I know a bit about computers, I can build PCs, but I’m struggling to post images!
To post your photos, you can send them here for example: https://www.hebergeur-image.com/
Then, you just have to paste the link in the window that opens when you click on « img » just above where we write our replies.
Thanks for those clarifications Alexandre
Hi, I’d already made a post about this a few years back. I’m copying it here for you, though the photos are missing since they don’t upload, I’ll send you a URL if you’re interested. Here’s my experience on the subject:
Tripod tips for playing amplified standing and mobile
Hi,
This message to share my latest experiments with setting up stand-up didgeridoo playing, especially on stage to play hands-free! I think there are already a few topics on tripods but here’s my little experience hoping it’ll save some of you time.
First point, having a tripod, percussion-type tripod, personally I have a Stagg I bought 5/6 years ago, I couldn’t find the link but it looks like this one:
There are apparently some very good ones on didg Passion that didn’t exist when I bought mine, so I won’t be able to say more about them:
So, based on my Stagg, several things:
- To be able to pivot freely on stage: I flipped the clamping block at the base of the pole and fixed it according to the height I wanted (to adjust depending on the tilt, your height and that of your didge). The foot tightening screw stays open to allow the upper part to pivot easily. For it to slide nicely, for lack of anything better, I used olive oil! Well I don’t have any advice on olive oil, but organic is good!
- to amplify:
- I added a metal rod under the existing one. See photo, there were already holes on mine, I just had to drill the rod and use wing nuts, handy for assembly and disassembly. Other mates use inner tubes or big gaff tape to fix it.
- on the rod, I found 2 solutions for placing the mic,
- the simplest is to buy a « table microphone mount » see photo below, they exist between €5 and €20. This one at €8.40 works really well. This solution allows you to adjust the mic at any distance from the bell.
- or drill the rod to allow a mic clip nut to pass through (€0.98). To ensure the mic angle is straight, a lock nut (€0.65) can be useful. My mate had made 2 or 3 holes for me so really handy to adjust the proximity to the bell if needed. A lightweight and economical solution that I’m currently favoring.
Last problematic point I sorted out thanks to a tip from Colas, that’s when you have to play multiple didges on stage or on an evodidge. The variation in didge length means you have to vary the tripod tilt so the mouthpiece is at the right height for your mouth. Since the tilt notches are fixed, it’s problematic to adjust the position. The solution is to find your right tilt then put shims, like rings, on the foot to adjust the height: for that a PVC diameter 32 cut in a C to make a ring per note. It’s not complicated and the adjustment is precise. It allows the freedom to pivot the didge on its axis. It works from my little one up to my A (2m60). Well that means a small adjustment each time you change note. It can be annoying but if that’s the case, the best solution is a stand per didge :o) Powa…
Great clarifications Adrien! Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I bought the same type of stand as Jaime. Arrived today, and tried it right away.
AWESOME
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers

Hey everyone, bumping this topic a bit
I’m also looking for a didgeridoo stand, I already came across the one from didgeridoo-passion as mentioned above and it looks great but to be honest I’m on a tight budget right now.
I just got an AirDidge (hence the limited budget ^^), I’d like to know if you guys had plans for stands and how they compare in terms of stability and comfort to ones like djembé stands for example?
Thanks

Hey Aava,
I don’t think you’ll find one for less than 40 euros. Unless you ask around to see if someone will give you one as a gift?
I made a stand myself, but the risk of it getting damaged over time was too great.
If I were you I’d save up a bit and in time you’ll have a good stand.
Cheers
Fränk
Hey @Frank,
Thanks for your feedback, let’s just say I’ve got a budget of 40-50€ rather than 120€-150€ 
I’d seen some djembe stands in the 50€ price range but I’m not sure how good they are in terms of actual use ^^

evening, this is a stand I made myself, it took me a branch of ash wood, a drawer slide, a ball bearing, some 8mm rebar and purple velcro, an easier alternative would be to buy a halogen lamp stand from Bricodépot for 15 euros and modify the support like I did with the wooden one

Wow thanks @GERALD, the tripod is pretty sweet and it really does the job ^^ the only snag is I’ve got zero workshops and even less DIY skills… ^^
Anyway if the djembe legs aren’t top notch I’ll take @Frank’s advice and wait to get the one from Didgeridoo-Passion

Hey @AAVA. I just read your request.
On the forum, I saw this:
I’ve had a board in the garage for a while waiting to be turned into one.
Hoping to get to it during the holidays!!!

I’m going to quote myself from here regarding the Didgeridoo Passion tripod:
So, I invested in a tripod from Didgeridoo Passion. This. Thing. Is. Killer. It weighs a ton. The design is really solid. The strap is just a tiny bit too big for an air didge. My wife, who unlike me actually has two right hands, helped me work around that detail.
But the best part is that playing without holding the didge totally frees me up breathing-wise, and I can play, play and play… Not for hours, but for long stretches, without getting tired, with smoother, more relaxed circular breathing. Basically, I love it.
So, for the tripod, honestly, taking it for a weekend or vacation, meh. Like I said, it weighs a ton, and since on vacation/weekends I’m also taking my DSLR, my Surface Pro, etc… Yeah, I look like I’m moving house even for a weekend…
The tripod breaks down well, is pretty compact, but it’s clearly not a priority in my travels.
And for going to play on a hike, forget it.
For that stuff (vacations, weekends, hiking), I got the leather pad instead. Less ergonomic, but for playing in lotus position, it works.
The day I perform in public (yeah, I’m thinking ahead), definitely, yes. It travels well and is just as practical as a big camera tripod to carry around.
This tripod is great for working on your playing peacefully while sitting on a chair or for performing. It’s great for freeing up your hands (and therefore your shoulders). I think it really comes down to the type of trip that would justify bringing the tripod or not. Or the weight/nature of the didge you’re putting on it. The tripod is ultra secure for the didge. That can matter if you have a precious/heavy/fragile didge.
But yeah, for an air didge, taking the tripod while traveling would be overkill.
For a high-end didge / in a work context, the tripod is totally portable and suitable. If you’re playing seated on a chair.
When I say that, I’m thinking of workshops where apparently everyone ends up on the ground. There, the leather pad becomes the better choice.
