I'd never thought of that. I'd always attached my SM-5 by loading it into the clamp from the lens end. By loading from the eyepiece end I can now leave it fully assembled in my hard case.

Thanks for sharing!

I have an AT-897 shotgun mic that is also too small for the A1 holder. I drilled and turned a small wooden adapter ring to fit the unit. I painted it black to match...

That's very swish...

Does it hold it tight? Maybe you could knock a few out and sell them... I'm sure there are a few on this forum who would buy.
