TimMey Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hey there, unfortunately it´s not the first time that i´m having a sqeaking Cinela. I had this on the big Piano and also the small Piani. Without the fur, everything is fine. With the fur on, you add some extra weight and the rubber starts squeaking when moving. Any ideas how to fix this?? Thanks. T.

tourtelot Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Food grade silicone paste? Get it at a scuba diving shop. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apcki Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Just curious if any of these solutions worked? Mine just started squeaking as well. Haven't gotten a response back from cinela yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izen Ears Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 It’s probably a screw. Possibly the big one at the main tilting joint. Or possibly the smaller one at the same place. Or it’s the allen screw way inside that attaches the cage to the mount. You have to take it all apart to tighten that one. Me and my team had this keep popping up, and it was usually one of those three screws. The only other sources of squeak we found were right around the mic and its shock mount. Either a wire lightly brushing the mic (not a squeak really, more of a creak), or the actual shock mount thingees touching each other (that’s a squeak). Best of luck! You shouldn’t need to send it back. Great blimps! Mine have lasted 12 - 13 years and going strong. Had to bend them back into shape a few times but man, they are just as quiet and awesome as when they were new. Dan Izen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Richter Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 +1 on the big screws! Had them squeak after a SFX rain day. Some silicone spray solved the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimMey Posted September 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 If it is the rubber rather than the screw, try to put some baby powder on the rubber, this might help. Best, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izen Ears Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Rubber? Where is this squeaky rubber you speak of? I’ve only had plastic and metal squeak. Other than the tiny gaskets around the contact points and the one band that goes around the mic, I can’t think of any other rubber-like substance on the thing!

TimMey Posted September 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Sorry for my english, maybe rubber is not the right term for what I mean. This is what I‘m talking about: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineli Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yes, this "rubber thing" is what we call the "bellows". With time and dust, there can be some friction noise between hard parts (lateral screw or main axis) and the flexible material of the bellows. Please use baby powder (talc) on surfaces in contact ! An ear stick is a good tool for that. In any case you have some unexpected noise like this one, feel free to write an email at contact@cinela.fr !

This is what I‘m talking about: Oooooohhhhh right! I have not gotten noise from that thing before so I wasn’t even considering it. I’d be amazed if that rubber bellows (reminds me of pantaloons haha!) is your squeaking. So at this point you have completely disassembled it, re-assembled and tightened all the hard to reach screws, and it still squeaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
