yeah, the remote cables only save you about an inch or so.
i'd just go with some right angles and call it a day.

a pair of those stubbie dremeled XLR's filled w/ epoxy would be a VERY lo-pro setup. These look very promising. I sure hope they sound as nice as they look!

yeah but using the
Mini clip   MZQ 8001   502329 
 
   Miniature clamp, ideal if the microphone is used with a remote cable; 3/8” standard thread (microphone not included).



and the remote cables
   Remote cable 3 m   MZL 8003   502326 

   Connects between the microphone head and the XLR module to make the microphone extremely unobtrusive (ideal for almost invisible use hanging from the ceiling); length: 3 m



one could make a sweet 110° ORTF Kwon Bar, fairly easy and it would be very slick!

:)


I've been soliciting quotes from a few different places
and I am still waiting for the accessories quotes from one (only asked 2 for the accessories quote)
here's what I got
from one
-ITEM-                     -LIST PRICE-        -BSW DISCOUNT PRICE-

MZL8003                     $169.00              $124.97

MZQ8001                     $79.00              $66.65

MKH8040ST                  $2599.00           $2319.64

they did not mention if they were shipping yet or not

and I have been seriously thinking about this
since Sweetwater currently has a no interest for one year, if you use their sweetwater "credit card"   before dec 24th  ... merry xmas!  they may not have the lowest price, but having no interest for a year could be great
Sound Pure appears to have the best pricing...
thanx
hopefully we'll get a listen soon to these mics

Try Gotham Sound.... 

Not everything is shipping..  I got the last matched set of 8040's and they are in transit from East Coast to West..

The Shock mounts are already back ordered until mid Jan 08..

Make sure you ask for matched sets or you may get quotes on two mics...

cool thanx
the model designation
of
MKH8040ST   
is the matched STereo pair hence the ST
and If you specify MKH8040ST    you should be getting the pairs  in the case with the clips and windscreens

but yes be sure to asked for the matched pair of  MKH8040ST

From what i hear, there is a SINGLE pair of 8040's in the US available through Sennheiser, as of last Friday.
Just what I was told by a major wholesaler. I passed on them until after New Years.

I would check with Full Compass. 
What they quoted me for a 8040ST was significantly cheaper than what you got from BSW.
