Anyone else had their microphone clip break? I take great care of my equipment and can't believe that it broke.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement clip?

Thanks.

im not quite sure if the nx5u uses the same holder as the sony Z1U, i think the NX5U mic holder might go up on a slant but maybe theres a way to rig something up using this:

The Z1 and the NX5 use completely different mic holders. The Z1's is a fiddly screw-down device whereas the NX5's is a super-quick over and lock device. Which bit broke Gabroo? Sony spares will stock them as a lot of people unscrew them on day one and struggle to find them again when they come to sell.
