  Microphone holder on 305 failed

  Posted by Mike Fuller on November 8, 2012 at 2:28 pm

  Just like the persistent problem on the Sony Z1 , the first microphone holder come adrift from our Canon 305 cameras. Small screws, short
  thread, too much leverage – thread stripped and £300 quote for replacement handle body. We bought aftermarket metal mounts for the Z1’s but I haven’t seen a solution for the 305. Has anyone experience/advice to share. Thanks . Mike
  PS Can ANYONE at Sony or Canon explain why such an obvious weak point is built into these otherwise super cameras – they must know they’re bought for tough service.

  I’ve shifted over to this. Works well.
