Hi,
I've got a HC-7 on the way as a second camera, and I was wondering whether anybody can tell me a canny way to secure a Sennheiser Evolution G2 radio mike receiver to the unit?
I use the receiver with my PD150, and just Velcro it to the handle, which works OK. But as real estate is at a premium on the HC7, I'm looking for ideas.
My options seem to be:
- sticking Velcro on the back of the batteries and having it hang off the back (the weight shouldn't be too much of a problem because I'll have a WA on the front, but I'm pretty sure it'll prevent me using the viewfinder, leaving only the LCD).
- maybe sticking Velcro on the back of the viewfinder, though am concerned it's not meant to take the weight of the receiver.
- or hanging it off the top (I have a shoe adapter and a two-branch support for a light and a shotgun).
As the cam's HD, I'll often have it on a tripod, so putting it underneath won't work (though I guess I could hook it to the tripod and get a longer cable to the camera?)
Anybody have experience in this?
