Hi JC,
I personally have no experience of the mics you mention. What your post
has made me realise though is, that I made an ERROR with my original
post. As others may already have realised, this Windkorb is a copy of
the Sennheiser MZS 20-1 plus MZW 60-1 blimp, and not the Rycote. Perhaps
it's the Sennheiser end caps that screw?
