Anyone know if the outdoor speakers could be stand mounted perhaps on a screw on camera type mount? Just not sure what size the screws are. Are they a standard mount size?

It's a 3/8" diameter, but guessing on the pitch looks to be about 16?
I'm going to a home store today, so I can bring along one of the mounting "ears" to check.
edit: Nope, see correct size below.

The brackets have multiple holes for mounting but I don’t think there are any tapped holes on the back like some. I’ll try to look but I have to pull out a ladder…

It ain't SAE! It's Metric. M10 x 1.5    Just please keep in mind that these mounting points at each end of the speaker for the bracket are expecting to have both holding the speaker, so I wouldn't expect one to provide a lot of protection against being "torqued" when bumped. So I would suggest a larger mounting plate with some type of screw adjusters to cinch up to the speaker housing to spread the mount area for extra stability. |

US camera tripod standard is 1/4-20 Every camera I've had since the '60s has had that standard.
3/8-16 is also semi-common. Close to 10x1.5 metric but NOT cross compatible.....
Other standards are in use, but by a minority of manufacturers. Some small/light devices May use yet smaller screws,
Even my inexpensive Microphone mounts were either sit on a table or use a camera tripod.....

Agreed, perhaps the only safe way would be to screw the OE bracket to a piece of powdercoated square stock and weld it to a heavy base. Would be easy to tap holes for home made outriggers (not that they're really necessary)
You'd have to have substantial weight in the base to offset the high center of gravity. If I were looking to stand mount, that's what I'd do; probably. Scott

I could make stands using what maybe considered Non-Traditional materials.
4" or 3" PVC filled with Cement and a central rod on which to mount speaker bracket.
That's the start. Need a base (heavy=better) and upper mount.
