well, we're tgoing back to the machinist for some tweaks on the colletes. we are trying to make the collettes compatible with the schoeps accessories (clips, vark bar etc).
also we need to make the collettes a little lighter in overall mass. machinist was concerned about durability where we are explaining it is a precision instrument and will be well taken care of. furthermore, we will need a bit more room inside the collette for the electronic components.
i was that told once it is too our satisfaction , that the final collette measurements will be entered into the machinists computer and he will be able to recall the saved specs, hit a buttn, and make a run of 25-30 collettes at a time. this should eventually save some time and cost.
grea++T work.
so, how are you going to deal with the center pin? Is that part of the collette design? That is the main problem I had.
