View Full Version : Microphone Mount Replacement Benjamin Eckstein March 22nd, 2008, 03:50 PM I think I have seen a couple pics of homemade mic mounts to replace the stock one, but are there any for sale now. Mine just broke while filming a 900 person pillow fight in downtown Boston. Luckily that was all that broke. Saw many bloody noses. Thanks, BE Todd Moore March 22nd, 2008, 05:57 PM I would like to see that footage. For some reason I have a vision of them all being girls in their pj's Vaughan Wood March 22nd, 2008, 07:13 PM Broke mine yesterday just putting the camera back into the bag! But it has been getting looser and looser over the last month or so1 Terrible design! Vaughan Benjamin Eckstein March 22nd, 2008, 08:25 PM I would like to see that footage. For some reason I have a vision of them all being girls in their pj's I will hopefully post an edit in the next day or two. Unfortunately not all girls in pjs. Apparently today was International Pillow Fight Day with fights staged in several cities all over the world. It was part of one of these "flash mob" things. It was odd, but interesting.

Mal Williams March 30th, 2008, 09:08 PM Hi there - Sony's own CAC-12 mic mount fits onto the EX fine - you have to elongate the screw holes slightly and use longer screws but you'll end up with a secure fully adjustable swivel mount. These mounts were originally used on the BVW & DXC series BetaSP cameras but I've fitted them to PD170's and V1P's since them. I think the Sony part No. is 3-750-734-11. I can post some pics if you like.

I've noticed Mal has kindly posted some pictures of his excellent solution here: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=121785&page=4 |
