Sony ECM-XM1 Self Clip - 20mm Shotgun Mic Mount

thingiverse

<h3>What:</h3> <ul> <li>A self clip design for the Sony ECM-XM1, allowing the microphone to securely attach to its XLR shell/plug.</li> </ul> <h3>Why?</h3> <ul> <li>I created a remix that enabled the microphone to be attached to a shoe mount. Although it functions well, I often shoot with a wireless microphone simultaneously, and the multi-shoe mount becomes cumbersome.</li> <li>This solution allows the microphone to clip onto itself on my Tascam DR-60DmkII, freeing up space for the wireless receiver on the a7iii's shoe.</li> </ul> <h3>The good:</h3> <ul> <li>It successfully attaches!</li> <li>A significantly more professional appearance than the 3-1 shoe mount adapter (MOVO 3BA-1) I previously used.</li> <li>Might be compatible with other 20mm diameter shotgun microphones.</li> </ul> <h3>The bad:</h3> <ul> <li>Dependent on XLR jack placement, potentially limiting its application to the Tascam DR-60.</li> <li>It overhangs slightly but prints well for me.</li> </ul> Tinkercad project: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3uIjKg0EzBg I was experimenting with a two-piece glue-able version to enhance print orientation strength, but the standalone model is holding up surprisingly well.
