I could use 4 of those if you come across some.

Thanks I looked at these earlier today and sent them a note as to which one is mini xlr size....no reply back. BNC? None are listed as mini xlr or TAF3. It does appear from picture that the one next to the XLR may work but ?. If anyone has used these for mini xlr please let me know. I squandered the internet today looking for these and could not find them at the usual suspects. Thanks again for the help.

I just tried a SVHS/BNC Female dust boot that I had on a Mini XLR TA5F Female and it worked so you should be good with that size. 

-BTW- it also works with the Hirose 4 pin male power plugs used by Sound Devices and others to power some of their gear externally.

maybe NOLAFishwater should look into making mini-xlr sized condoms, his full sized ones are great! It seems like lots of people could use them here, minixlr is getting popular.

Thanks DigiGal for checking the fit. I did look like it would work from the pic but wasn't sure.
Appreciate the help.

And yes Nola's are the nicest I've seen and I just got more XLR covers from him. He said he never had the mini's made. Probably not a great market for those but mini xlr's are much more vogue now so who knows......
Happy holidaze all!

Thanks, good to know this, too.
