13324 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 What a bummer. Had one of these thrown into an order from Second City Sound just to try it out, and it broke on the first day of the job. Trying to see if I can get a refund. While it did work, I really loved having two free hands to prep lavs, et cetera. Going to try out Orca’s competing OR-17 when I get a chance.

Kisaha Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Annoying! It is unbelievable that after so many decades we still lack on so many aspects of our trade. Even K-Tek is half a kilo, and the Orca's the same. Another half a kilo added weight to our backs! I am expecting to purchase Orca's solutions this year.

Johnny Karlsson Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Here's a lightweight / low cost solution. It works universally with any bag or harness that has a D-ring....just wrap one of these around the pole right next to the first collar.

Olle Sjostrom Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 You can use gear ties from Nite Ize as a boom holder on a bag. You just take one of them and wrap it around the pole, and bend the rest of the tie to make a hook. Then hang it on you bag or shoulder strap. Better yet, if you have two gear ties you can make a loop with one and put it on the shoulder strap and keep the one on the boom. Not elegant, but it does the job pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their email customer support is iffy, but I got a reply from them and they’re arranging a refund with my dealer. +1 to @Johnny Karlsson and @Olle Sjostrom Edited October 9, 2018 by Daniel Ignacio Fixed formatting.
