Microdot Lavalier to Sony Lav Input Adapter

A soldered connector will always be more reliable than using microdot adapters. That being said, you gain flexibility with microdot by being able to use those lavs with multiple different connectors and being able to swap them in seconds. You have to weigh the pros/cons and decide for yourself what's best for your specific workflow.

 

FYI, I use mainly DPA and a couple Deity ones for "stunt" roles and they're all on microdot because I sometimes need to switch between Zaxcom 3pin lemo and Lectrosonics 5pin TA5f. My packs don't see too much abuse so I found the flexibility of microdot to be worth the hit in reliability.

 I cannot confirm that at all. In my case, the MicroDot is actually the more reliable connection. In fact, most damages appear a bit further up the cable, where they even added a the little protective bit
