SENNHEISER CA2 Shoe Mount (009986)

No complaints, does the job well.

This device is a small plastic mount that is made to secure a Sennheiser Evolution series wireless receiver onto a camera hotshoe adapter. More typically today, it is being used to mount the wireless receiver on a coldshoe mount on one of the various camera cages associated with DSLR filmmaking. Although this mount is made specifically for Sennheiser receivers, it is apparent that end users are adapting it to almost any brand of wireless receiver that needs a hotshoe mount, frequently by using industrial Velcro.I must confess, I purchased a pair of these a couple of years ago because getting my receivers mounted on my camera has always been an ugly, impossible task using gaffer tape.The reason I am taking time to write this review is because Sennheiser offers very little information on this product. Well, this is an inexpensive accessory, but don't let the cheap price fool you into thinking it is insignificant. In fact, a wireless receiver without a suitable mount is a major annoyance and problem in production.What I want to make clear is this mount works with any Sennheiser Evolution wireless device that has a wire bale clip. The plastic has a formed groove, and you slip the bale clip on and you are ready to go. I was confused because this product was introduced with the G2 second generation Evolution, I believe, and I thought it would not work for my first generation receivers. But it works great. Just don't try to spring the clip into place. Instead, unhook one end of the wire clip from the receiver and it is easy to secure to the mount.There are no instructions. You will need to study the plastic moulding to see how the clip fits. I was too impatient, couldn't figure it out, and the mounts languished in my bag for two years. Along the way, I seem recall getting mad and throwing one away. When I finally had a fresh look and figured out my 1G Evolution receivers fit great, I got happy, but it was necessary for me to order a replacement.Good luck!

i bought a used sennheiser EW112P and it didnt come with the mount, this was exactly what i needed to mount the receiver to my camera.

Bought this for Sennheiser EK100G3 and works fine. The only thing that could say negative about this product is when I received the Sennheiser CA2 Shoe Mount the detachable screw mount was in the middle of the shoe mount, so had to unscrew the detachable screw mount and place it on the bottom of the Sennheiser CA2 Shoe Mount.

Why don’t they make these out of durable material? I need these for my business when I operate as a one-man-band with my camera and have to mount the receivers on my camera. However, every time I do this these cheap plastic mounts typically break and become useless. It is insane that they don’t make these out of aluminum or something durable.

I have several of these mounting brackets and they work perfectly to secure my mics in a variety of situations. I have multiple camera setups and there is always a place to mount one or two of these so my mics are always secure on the camera. If all else fails I use a simple Opteka VB-30 Video Accessory Shoe Tripler Bracket for DSLR Cameras & Camcorders ~ TRIPLES Your Mounting Points for Microphones, Lights, Monitors, Recorders & Receivers or a J-Cube to hold two mounts on top of the camera. I love these mounts.

Cool little accessory to mount transmitter on a tripod, or a receiver on camera. Works with ENG systems, plus transmitter for wireless, or receiver for IEM. Any Sennheiser G3 series of transmitters/receivers.

It seems to be of good quality
