Title: Schoeps m100 c mount?
Post by: Tim on August 31, 2004, 05:22:44 PM: Anyone using this? Seems like a great versatile piece, looks like you can get any near coincident configuration that you desire as well as anything in between.

Any thoughts on it versus the standard ortf/din bars? Anyone use one for FOB work?

wouldn't a vark bar do the same thing (and be around the same size) for a lot less $$$

Post by: Tim on August 31, 2004, 06:45:39 PM: so, last question... is the SGC the mount that I want? will it fit the Vark bar?

"Stand mount with swivel: 3/8"-16 internal thread; angles CCM- or MK- capsule 0°-100°"

Yes. I would go with the sgcm's, though. They are a little more expensive, but more durable because the screw is metal (instead of plastic).

Post by: Mic D on August 31, 2004, 07:14:36 PM: Actually Moke, I think that could work. If I still had the 22's, I would check it out, but I don't see why it would'nt work. The only issue I could think of is the 22's being too small in diameter. The sgc's might not screw that tight...

Post by: wboswell on August 31, 2004, 09:49:47 PM: fwiw, I would go with the regular sgc clips. I used them tons without any issues. Just use a little caution... My logic to go with the plastic ones is that I could break 5 plastic clips @ $16 a piece before getting the full value from one pair of the metal clip @ $112 a pair. And honestly, I wasn't so worried about breaking them... they are awfully small and would be easy to loose!

the sgcm clips work fine with the dpa's. My friend Brent has the 4023's and we tried them with my sgcm clips and sure enough they fit just fine.

Are the 4023 lemo connectors the same size as the 4022 cable connection?

No. The Lemo connector is bigger in diameter...

Post by: brianp on September 08, 2004, 05:20:57 PM: This weekend I confirmed that the 4022's dont work with the sgcm clips, but the 4023's do.

Sorry about the confusion.

That's what I figured, but I think the problem can be solved by cutting a thin strip of electrical tape and rapping it around the part that gets clipped, until it fits.

Yep. That would work, as well.
