Chrisprice Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi all documentary. ENG recordists and Boom operators who don't use internal cabling on their boom. Having been a boom operator, Doc and feature film recordist for some years (30) and knowing the problem of loose cables wrapped round the boom, I decided to think about a clip which would hold the cable in place hands free. I thought I had got it when I thought of rope cleats as used in sailing there were quite a few nice small designs so I ordered them. But they did not work. the cable was too stiff and the cleats had quite a high profile which would have prevented one putting the boom in a protective boom case. After some weeks I thought of the idea of a concentric clip in springy material and the Cobraclip was born. Cinesonics, the company I own with Joaquim Pinto In Lisbon now manufactures and distributes this device. We hope to gain Trew Audio to distribute in USA and Canada. In Germany of course Ambient will sell it for us. Here is a link to our first video and a pdf of the Cobraclip description and instructions. any feedback and comments very welcome, mail to,Info@cinesonics.pt, This is our first product but there will be others following soon. You also might like to look at our site in portuguese, www.cinesonics.pt, and yes, Helga and myself, she a sound editor, became winemakers! www.vinhoscortem.com, also a pic of one of my first jobs as boom op in 1974, has anything changed!

Donsbach Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Handy little product, and I must say that's the cleanest Elemack I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McL Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Wonderful. Congrats on a much-needed device we didn't know we needed until we saw it. Especially important with Goody Beads having gone the way of extinct species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVUrlacher Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Love this product compared to my past attempts at the same idea. Although I was successful, it was not in the simple/clean way the Cobraclip is designed. Very nicely done. Price? Distribution? Thanks. --au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisprice Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Thank you all for your replies and nice comments , Vin great to hear from you again. Yes the vineyard is doing well. It is a great pity we cannot ship the wine the USA direct even this new trade agreement becomes reality. yes, Cobraclip. I am hoping Trew audio and Gotham will stock it, but we will soon set up a credit card payment here so you can buy direct, if they are not interested First spanish customer last week..... "Tengo el cobraclip, lo he usado mucho estos dias, es muy util! Muchas gracias!

Winter Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 The first spanish customer it's me... Very handy little product! I've spend several days working with a cobraclip on my boompole and, believe me, once you start using it you can't come back anymore. I also have to say that customer support at Cinesonics is second to no one, really impressive (thanks Pedro!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
