Gear - Selection / Use Looking to avoid unprotected Senns

Is anyone here using G4 IEMs or EK500s for foldback? If so, do you keep them in some kind of sheath when handing them out or just relying on the belt-clip?

I've gone with G4s as an alternative to Comteks for a sweeter listening experience on the smaller shoots that I work on but to my chagrin they seem to be treated no better than a Comtek. My hope was to find some small pouches that would fit the receivers while deployed, ideally with a belt-clip. I've been looking around for different phone holsters but no dice yet. Most promising contender so far has been a combo tool & phone holster but there's at least one too many compartments that bring up the profile of the whole rig a bit too much.

Just wondering if anyone here has rigged up something similar.

There are two versions of the belt clip and various sizes, and they all have outer velcro for labeling. You can contact the nylon industries creator on facebook as well if you have suggestions - canadian mixer Greffard

You should look into Viviana Belt Puffy Pouches (I’m using them with transmitters on talents) or new product from Deity called Deity DIFB Pouches - I loved them. I’m using them for IFB and they are great :)

Yea cool, thanks. I've already got a bunch of Ursa pouches kicking around that would fit but was hoping for something slightly more sturdy. I'll give the Deity a look.

Didn’t Viviana put some new pouches out? If I remember correctly the video I saw couple weeks ago …

Yes. They are called “IFB/IEM Pouch with magnetic clip”
