John:
I actually was thinking of putting some velcro on the mic mounting bracket,
and then on the car dash, but the bracket is such that only a thin strip of
velcro will fit, and I don't know if it'll hold. I guess the only way to
find out is to try it.
I just can't understand why every rig has to have some sort of a different
arrangement. It'd be so much simpler if things were standardized more, at
least by a single manufacturer.
