ideas on how to mount Sennheiser wireless recievers to AF100

[Jon Furtado]

I'm trying to find a way to mount my Sennheiser G2 wireless receivers to my AF100. For some reason I can't find a a bracket that will mount to my rails and hold the receivers. Any idea's guys?

Hey iv'e found this in the forum, it's a bracket built for a nano flash but maybe somehow you could mount your receiver to it! No harm in asking the guy selling the brackets.

What exactly did you do here? Did you remove the handle and bolt the receivers to the body?

Sennheiser G-system comes with a flash shoe mount so I used that and when you take away the sidegrip there is a cold shoe mount under! Slide in and tighten, done!

We have this one in our box of rigging parts: http://www.cinevate.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=201

Pricy, but it will hold two units side by side, which is especially useful if you're using G2/G3 systems as a cheap wireless hop.

That's um, brave.

All of these seem kinda short term solutions. I bought one of those brackets that attaches to the bottom and goes off to the side with box mounts for the receivers. But it gets in the way of my offset shoulder pad.

Jon...I noticed in your post about the Gini Rig that you have installed the on-board microphone fitting in the upward position.

If you fit it the other way ( as per editman - see his picture in this thread) you get a clean, unrestricted line across the top of your handle. Much better for rigging stuff on top of the handle. Looks better in my opion... and you get much better images from your camera.

I rarely usually use mine for a microphone but it does make a great way to route and tidy cables. (Looking at you here IgelKot !)

Sweet I'll try that out! I'll need to get a super short XLR though.
