osa Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 I have been using these quick connect adapters on my sna antennas for about six months now. Highly recommend if you switch often between ENG and cart antenna setups. I’ve used them in mission critical jobs and it allowed flexibility to swap a bunch of antenna setups quickly. https://www.americanradiosupply.com/sma-male-female-quick-disconnect-push-on-coaxial-adapter-connectors/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Documentary Sound Guy Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 That's exactly what I've been looking for. I just paid far too much for lectro SMA to BNC adapters that put way too much torque on the SMA connectors on top of my Nova. This looks perfect.

osa Posted March 25 Author Report Share Posted March 25 I was skeptical because there are so many versions of these quick connectors and quite a vast pricing range all the way up to $45 apiece at mouser claiming scientific tolerances… but I went for it and I ordered two of these from ebay. For 15 bucks total incl shipping it is worth to try a pair https://www.ebay.com/itm/266290876999?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20240315132637%26meid%3D9da9e3f9ea6f414abfa89b08fc65cbc4%26pid%3D102055%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dnone%26itm%3D266290876999%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2Mobile&_trksid=p4375194.c102055.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq%3A77a45a3818e0a24247dd5122fffff9c4|pageci%3A9795236f-eaf3-11ee-9ac7-06f0f82b2ea2|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Documentary Sound Guy Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Those appear to be resold from this Hong Kong seller (the "brand" in the above listing matches the e-bay username of this seller): https://www.ebay.ca/itm/174918158242?itmmeta=01HSS6Z4ZHH41TDFDTZC8YK30W&hash=item28b9ef47a2:g:yuoAAOSw4nRhLyrl&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABENpFAAlk1sD9kVhWmKCj%2FmXRpYHGSw6zwfAyvf%2B1SMxFykAVHeIygmOvRt%2FwQnoBQjDLYb2KmfqE8esjHxx%2BYBAybmxIN1j%2FcqZ0SrXn7E4sKna778tFwPsIm3EEGUha%2F0BqjUZp3XQJ%2FBnCNfoIJqFcWzuPIfzdOFA9xOXEtmnLIyHr8KUopmVPuyfQ%2FcbgwzDzvbq5V3No0hW6uo2PvGmjA00ymeDuP3Iu0vEkd4vGCfk8JEuuZRkX4e0LilUmiPyMq407QTk7iUu7QSBkdVw0gTFoy9c8WTA2iHDJL7RE5ZlV7x6OXELBMQ5I7m84Y5dfVTz0gJ2Gmag5L%2F5TWhX7HlEQ1Qn%2Fs4wEbMNi5V3L|tkp%3ABFBM7M_8ps5j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 Originally i thought the ebay ones “you get what you pay for”. After trying them and shortly after ordering a bunch more, these ebay versions work so well i can’t tell the difference. I now have them on every antenna and cable where applicable and it makes quick swaps a breeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
