Hi all,
I'm looking at quick release options for microphones in the field. I tried
the On Stage brand quick releases, they seem to work themselves loose and
introduce noise to recordings.

Sound Guys, Triad Orbit, or Ambient Quick Lock systems seem to be the best
options. Does anyone have any experience with these?

>From the looks of them, Sound Guys seems the best option. The Triad Orbit
option is the most economical, but I've heard their parts can be on the
heavy side. There is an aluminum version of their connector that is
supposed to be lighter, but I can't find specs on actual weight.

Any thoughts on this topic would be appreciated.
