Hi thanks for this video comparison. I've not been able to get the Tx-Xlr part of this kit or this entire Newshooter kit new. So I'm considering one on the used market. I found one where the rotating collar was removed ( to fit a particular mic ) and misplaced. Is it that the locking mechanism is spring loaded the and collar is just there to push down the locking mechanism and either hold it in the unlocked (Depressed) position or release it so that it raises up ( under spring tension) to lock the mic in place? The reason I ask is that does it also serve as a way to stabilise the mic on to the Tx-Xlr so that there is no wobble? or is that handled by the O-Rings. I'm trying to determine if I can get by fairly reliably without the rotating collar. I have not handled an actual device but I'm hoping that I will only have to depress the lock by hand and not that the collar helps with mechanical connection stability. Any input will be helpful. Thanks in advance

I am assuming the screw on nob on the TX-XLR transmitter is what you are referring to as the "locking collar" correct? If that is the case and I understood you correct, it is just designed for extra protection, once the mic snaps and locks in, you should be good.

@@kenyontech It depends on how you rig up you mic, if it is inside a blimp, probably you should be good, if not then you would want to be careful about that area of connection when swinging your boom, coz once there is impact, then chances of breaking the shotgun mic pins are high, so the "screw collar" is designed to avoid that in the event of an impact while swinging the boom
