Entirely normal!  Although Shure says "Don't do it as it'll make the mic sound different"

Tough I'd still just go for using an e906 - lower profile still and, in my view, a better sound.

I do have a Sennheiser E906 and E609, but there's something wicked looking about a bent 57.

be really good if the angle was adjustable and with fork protector

I recently started working at a place that has a pile of Beta 56 and they are my new "works on almost anything" mic.  I have yet to try them on vocals or podium.

But can you convert them to 90 degrees.

Might be the ticket for harmonica players. 

I like the Beta 56 for snare as well.  Fits in there well and the pattern helps keep the hat out of the snare mic compared to a 57.  Sounds great on guitar amps too but the Sennheisers are less placement sensitive IME.

I was wondering why nobody got the joke. A Beta 56 is already a 90 degree mic. BaDaBoom

Boy, this is a tough room.

Too soon man, too soon.

Unless you loosen the thumbscrew.  Then it becomes a 180 degree mic.   

I'm actually surprised you don't see more of these.  Few 57s are used handheld.  And the B56 is much more compact on the end of the stand.

Too soon man, too soon.

I guess with comedy timing is everything. I got a little premature on the downbeat.
