At first glance they appeared to be Schoeps, but after looking a little closer they resemble the AKG ckXx caps. I remember reading DSatz's post about Schoeps' custom colors, so it got me thinking.

My vote too. So cool to know the Queen's tech team uses AKG.
Thanks for the link to the photo.

No - definitely *not* a VR1.

I have a VR1 and CK1 and it does not look like this.

This looks like the capsule swivels and there is no swivel on the end of a VR1.

It could be a custom VR of course, with the end remade and set at a fixed angle ???
