Topic: Schoeps SGC Clips

[hi and lo]

I was wondering why you would want to mount with these clips, on a stand when there are so many bars available and they are dialed?  i have only used the clips to split my omnis, and have broken a few pairs, to the point i just run bodies now.  i can understand if you rig up a good stealth set up, and would love to see that, offline of course, cause we are not even supposed to type stealth on TS.  thanks!

For running pointed at stacks. It's just as good a config or better than any of the delrin bar configs for the environments I frequently tape in. I do this especially with hypers for a very clean sound source and will often mix down with a split omni or standard cardioid pattern source to fill in the soundstage and room.

Fwiw, I have two of pretty much every bar config out there and love them for ease of use and consistency, but am frequently grabbing my DINa bar and even still wishing I had a tighter pattern.

I didn't know they break so easily, but will keep that in mind.

I used the SGC's alot and never broke one.  I'm careful to just sorta roll the collette barrels into those clips so that the splines gently part slowly and only enough to allow the mics to slide in...the key is to use the angles on the back of the mic and kinda roll the mic body as you're sliding the mic in.  I can definitely see where breakage could be an issue, but I haven't had any problems using this technique.   

BTW, Im with you hi and low.  I like the SGC clips although SGCM would be even better.  They hold the mics with authority and precision and since they're gripping the back grommet, screens slide on without any obstruction.

Wow! Serious find. I bought some stuff off of this guy. They are legit. That thing looks like a solid knock off. Lets hope it is. I have many broken ones to replace and at that price it's a no brainer. I have always used "make offer" with this seller and have never been turned down, but at 3.09 with free shipping why bother. Please report back with a quality check.

My guess is these are genuine Schoeps and that they bought a ton at one point and now don't need them - These are the older version with the smaller more fragile clips.

Nevermind - I see they are from China and almost certainly fake - move along

Can anyone comment on the quality of the knockoff clips? I was going to order a few but if they are a real disaster I am not even going to bother.

If these are the ones you're talking about, they're fine.

I put some velcro on the inside because my Naks were a bit loose. Sold the Naks and I just bought some Rycote INVs, so I won't be using them anymore. I'll let them go for $20 shipped. Posting in YS as well...
