I wonder if you can use hog rings to tighten that material down for a really nice snug fit? hmm.

What are hog rings?

The tight fit is just glue and cutting the fabric correctly for the corners. I got a little impatient in areas. And I don't think alcantara stretches and conforms to corners as well as soft leather does, so it was a bit of a challenge for the first time.

Hog rings and metal rods woulda tightened it down.

Waiting on the converter yet. Then I'll mod my case.

I'm surprised they haven't made a proper case that fits the cable without drilling, yet...

If it's raining tomorrow morning I probably won't be in Columbia. Will see you guys at GB if that's the case.

MightyBobo 02-22-2013 09:34 PM

Got all of my remote mic gear (the USB converter cable, and 16' extension was all I was missing). Maybe I'll muck with it tomorrow and get it working for a test, but I doubt it - weather is looking better for Sunday.
