how do you rig your boom pole to a light stand

i'm pretty sure there exists an adaptor of some sort to grip a boom pole with a basic lighting stand.

i want to get this instead of buying an expensive boom stand / arm kit.

the goal is to not need a boom op for talking head style shoots.
 
Mine are slightly different but basically the same thing as one of these:

connected to the light stand with one of these:

There are fancier and more expensive holders, but that one is simple and cheap. The grip head allows you to tilt the pole however you want, and better still, when you aren't mounting your boom, the grip head is still useful as a grip head.

cheers.
