Yes, Kangol for some reason just looks out of place in florida ( just my opinion)

A Kangol looks out of place everywhere. You have to be willing to make a fashion statement. I had an artist laugh at me the first time he saw me in the hat (taper friendly artist in a non-friendly venue).

My brother was wearing a Peaky Blinders (newsboy) style hat and I was wearing a Kangol at this show a few years ago.  This was UFO's Phil Mogg's reaction to them:

Nice Vid, love his reaction.

do you use the mount for the mics that has recently been in this thread?

Ordered one last week; estimated ship date Oct 23.  Really looking forward to trying it out.

I'd love to get your opinion on it once you try it out. I've gone back and forth on grabbing one.

^It took a little getting used to, but after using it a half dozen times or, I have come around to really liking the Shapeways mount.  The switch coincided with the change to MK41Vs, and I really like the results I'm getting.  I can't say how much of the (perceived) improvement is due to the mics, and how much is due mounting them on the Shapeways.

One thing I really like is that I don't worry anymore about the mics moving around.  I shoot video down in the front a lot, and thus move around a fair bit and also crane my head around with the camera to follow the action.  As long as they are tightly seated in the Shapeways mounts, those 41Vs are locked in place and do not move at all.  It's nice not have to worry about them shifting during the show.

But with this mount you always wear them dina, right?

I pretty much operate 99% in >:D mode and have never used (nor owned) a stand.  I was at a club a few nights ago and I wanted to get up close to the stage to shoot video.  My brother wanted to sit at a table in the sweet spot and I knew recording wouldn't be an issue, so I grabbed a smart phone tripod that I keep in the car, pulled the Shapeways mount out of my kangaroo, and attached it to the smart phone mount.  The tripod held the mount at eye level and was about 25 feet from the stage (center).  I'm not sure if I should have oriented the red dots differently, but the tape turned out nice.

^probably force of habit. The caps are arranged properly if you throw that mount in a hat.

I run 4vs open and  >:D and always have to be conscious of not making that same mistake ('cause I've done it before myself).

With no HF bump, they r the same.  Before 2014-15, 41v were 3k a set.  Made the decision easier

It was a spur of the moment decision and I only had a minute or two to get the tripod, pull the mount out of the kangaroo, figure out how to attach it to the stand and get back to the stage area to film.  So yeah ... I completely forgot about swapping the mics.  But I did remember to re-orient the red dots. :bigsmile:

So that red tape on the nbobs indicates it's the right chanel? Never knew haha. Don't really care either to be honest.

As an aside, I have that same hat mount. I drilled 2 little holes in the center of the mount and ran a zip tie through them to secure the 2 L/R cables and add strain relief. If you're having a tough time visualizing it I can snap a pic and PM you...

They look to be in A-B with both mics facing directly forward.  If you want to more closely emulate the "as worn in a hat" config, rotate the mics partly away from each other so the red dots indicating the on-axis point of the mic are angled outward, similar to how they would be "in hat"

In other words, even though you are changing the orientation of the mount by 90 degrees by rotating it from the horizontal hat-worn to a vertical clamped orientation, in order to maintain a similar horizontal angle between mics you'd need to rotate them by less than 90 degrees, due to their attachment angle on the mount.  However, because that will also point them upward somewhat, you may want to rotate them a bit more than 45 degrees.  That will make the horizontal angle narrower than it would be "in hat" but won't point them upward too much.
