Part Number Microphone Holder-FX-1
 

My FX-1 has arrived. Picking it up Tuesday.

Anyone know the part number for the Z-1 Microphone holder/screws.

I assume it will fit the FX-1.

Called SONY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE-spoke to a representative. Asked if the bracket would fit from a Z-1 to a FX-1 and part number to order. Got a big "HUH" "WHAT" "I DON'T KNOW" "NO TECH MANUAL" "No BLOW-UP DIAGRAM" " IT'S NEW CAMERA". BLAH BLAH BLAH etc. etc. etc. etc............................................... ................................

They (SONY) took my e-mail address. I doubt I will ever hear from someone on tech support for such a small item.

Parts for Sony's pro cameras can be found here:

Sorry, I can't see any way to link inside this side. Enter HVRZ1 in the model number box and click search. You'll get 2 pages of parts. Looks like this might be it:

HVRZ1U __X20239331 __X20239331 __HOLDER ASSY, MICROPHONE_ __$62.18

Thanks..........................I had a person on the phone who should be familiar with her job........but wasn't.

Lou,

Don't waste your money. The mic holder for the z1 is terrible. Lousy isolation form the camera. Every camera handling noise is recorded. There are other solutions, but the Sony design is awful.
