As I mentioned in my previous post, but to reinforce: do not cheap out on a mic stand. You don't need to spend a fortune, but don't make the mistake I did and try to take advantage of GC's Musicians Friend Stand 2 for $30 offer. I had an older On Stage which was probably in the area of $50 when I bought it 5 or so years ago and it's *light years* better than the GC MF stands, which both had boom mic knobs that failed to stay in their holes correctly and often wouldn't tighten properly.
KM mic stands get pretty good reviews and are a little more expensive (between $60-100 for their mid- to upper-mid level offerings) but those will likely give you great performance for many years. I know Neumann shock mounts can be expensive (I think around $140) but you have a $700 mic, I'd personally want to use a shock mount from the same manufacturer, but others may feel differently.
