Anyway, everyone has their own opinion, and experience, that's fine. Personally, I have not been happy with my Cinela mounts, and I only really like the INV lite, funnily enough. They bought Lightweave back in the day. If they buy and destroy Cinela it would be deveststing... Please let's not give them scarry ideas... I am really terrified considering rycote has done it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Deakin Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Does cinela now have a mount available for the 4017c with a foam windscreen? I have not seen anything one their website. Please if someone knows what mount is available please provide info on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mount needs to clip partially onto regular XLR, rather than a short version. Rycote softie is sensitive to the lightest wind. Bubble Bee layer softies are a lot better... 2 hours ago, Glen Deakin said: Does cinela now have a mount available for the 4017c with anfoam windscreen? I have not seen anything one their website.

I tested 6 different cmit5 mounts which had such a subtle difference But I use and mount mics that are not authorized all the time. Sorry I have 4017b. Go to a sound shop that carries cinela and start trying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Deakin Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks. Well aware of cinela for the 4017b. I have that but lately have been using the 4017c and am looking for something for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Deakin Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Don't believe the inv-lite was meant to be used with a Softie. I think someone mentioned they did and it worked but don't believe that was the original intention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Tresch Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Well... after testing the minicmit I decided to stay with my CCM41 / CCM8 for documentry work. I find the Minicmit (the one I tested...) a bit to "sourd" (in french). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Patrick, with apologies, a CCM41/CCM8 dont compare with a MiniCMIT. how you find it sourd or any other way is moot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tresch Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Well I was thinking of having more clear speach when booming from a distance as with the CCM41 and I was surprised that it was less intelligible. My A/B comparative test... I know it sounds weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with the clamp mech affecting the chassis, not sure exactly but works fine in another more standard rycote mount (already pictured in this thread) If you have a mini cmit do not buy the inv mount! After a week of testing out, I can confirm that the suspension mentioned is highly susceptible to the swoosh when doing larger swings. The unit has a sticker that says "Inv-lite 21". This effect is much worse than this setup with the standard foam: This is not a very elegant solution though, as you loose some "shortness". On 20.7.2017 at 8:02 PM, Constantin said: I'm surprised you can see how noisy something is. I usually have to listen to things to find out how they sound. And I disagree with you whole-heartedly. I think it's a great mount, the clamping mechanism is really fast and tight, gripping the mic firmly. There is no noise coming from the mount per se, but when you do fast and long swings, you do hear a swoosh, but that's true for any mount and usually more due to the foam cover rather than the mount. What exactly don't you like about it? Other than looking at it, apparently... That's great, and I love the 4017c, too, but perhaps not very helpful since the guy asked about the MiniCMIT... I assume you mean the INV lite? All indoor mounts are called INV. I cannot confirm your findings at all. In fact, with my DPA 4017, this is actually the quietest mount, and I tried at least 4 types It may be a great mount, depending on the application. It is not on a swinging boom. My best guess: Its due to the fact, that the turbulences at the lyres are so close to the slot array. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from possible shortcomings of the mount this may also be an issue with the foam. Of those of you who have tried the INV19-lite, which foam or other wind protection did you use?

DanieldH Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 2 hours ago, Constantin said: So what did you put on your mic? Standard http://www.schoeps.de/en/products/w140 as mentioned in Posts #67 and #91. It works well and as expected on this suspension: http://rycote.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/041118_INV7HG-MKIII-trans.png. It works also well, if you mount the mic to the back of the Inv-lite with the non-angled XLR between the lyres (this brings up other issues though and is just a quick workaround). This is nothing intuitive. My best guess is some aerodynamic oddity with the lyres in combination of the W140. Who knows... Just don't buy/use the Inv-lite21 for a MiniCMIT for a bit fast moving boom operations. Rather try the K-tek thing or an inv6/7 or wait until Cinela comes up with something. Happy for you though that the inv-lite 19 with the 4017c does not have this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfred G Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I have to admit that I’m no a big fan of RYCOTE but the suspension they have designed for the MiniCMIT works far better than I ever expected. I don’t feel rushed at all to buy the MiniCMIT dedicated Cinella when it hits the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t feel rushed at all to buy the MiniCMIT dedicated Cinella when it hits the market. I added a 2" xlr barrel to the back of my miniCMIT to get it in the Osix 2 mount. It's not perfect, but I've had good results. Cinela does seem to require experienced boom op hands in certain situations. I've had a strange clicking sound appear intermittently from the mount and I've yet to nail it down. The 10mm Rycote softie fits perfectly (even though the 12cm is listed by Rycote as the one that fits the minicmit... it's not), but is not very good as wind protection, I'll replace it eventually.

Prahlad Strickland Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I have the Mini Cmit in a Cinela Cosi, wonderful!, Fantastic, can shake it around wobble it up and down and it transfers no noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
