CA2 Shoe Mount

This device is a small plastic mount that is made to secure a Sennheiser Evolution series wireless receiver onto a camera hotshoe adapter. More typically today, it is being used to mount the wireless receiver on a coldshoe mount on one of the various camera cages associated with DSLR filmmaking. Although this mount is made specifically for Sennheiser receivers, it is apparent that end users are adapting it to almost any brand of wireless receiver that needs a hotshoe mount, frequently by using industrial Velcro. I must confess, I purchased a pair of these a couple of years ago because getting my receivers mounted on my camera has always been an ugly, impossible task using gaffer tape. The reason I am taking time to write this review is because Sennheiser offers very little information on this product. Well, this is an inexpensive accessory, but don't let the cheap price fool you into thinking it is insignificant. In fact, a wireless receiver without a suitable mount is a major annoyance and problem in production. What I want to make clear is this mount works with any Sennheiser Evolution wireless device that has a wire bale clip. The plastic has a formed groove, and you slip the bale clip on and you are ready to go. I was confused because this product was introduced with the G2 second generation Evolution, I believe, and I thought it would not work for my first generation receivers. But it works great. Just don't try to spring the clip into place. Instead, unhook one end of the wire clip from the receiver and it is easy to secure to the mount. There are no instructions. You will need to study the plastic moulding to see how the clip fits. I was too impatient, couldn't figure it out, and the mounts languished in my bag for two years. Along the way, I seem recall getting mad and throwing one away. When I finally had a fresh look and figured out my 1G Evolution receivers fit great, I got happy, but it was necessary for me to order a replacement. Good luck!

Good

i bought a used sennheiser EW112P and it didnt come with the mount, this was exactly what i needed to mount the receiver to my camera.

No complaints, does the job well.

I have several of these mounting brackets and they work perfectly to secure my mics in a variety of situations. I have multiple camera setups and there is always a place to mount one or two of these so my mics are always secure on the camera. If all else fails I use a simple Opteka VB-30 Video Accessory Shoe Tripler Bracket for DSLR Cameras & Camcorders ~ TRIPLES Your Mounting Points for Microphones, Lights, Monitors, Recorders & Receivers or a J-Cube to hold two mounts on top of the camera. I love these mounts.

As a long time videographer I've had to go through quite a few of these lav body pack mounts. Despite Sennheiser's mic quality, their CA2 Shoe Mount is a bit of a mystery as to why they would make the metal 1/4"-20 insert inside such cheap plastic. If you use it long enough the metal insert will start to slide out so it eventually will not fit in many camera hot shoes, or many cold shoe mounts. Disappointing, but at least this replacement fixes the issue, temporarily. There was a metal alternative several year ago by another company but it's since been discontinued, so Sennheiser has us over the proverbial barrel as the only replacement option for now. Should cost half this price.

Bought this for Sennheiser EK100G3 and works fine. The only thing that could say negative about this product is when I received the Sennheiser CA2 Shoe Mount the detachable screw mount was in the middle of the shoe mount, so had to unscrew the detachable screw mount and place it on the bottom of the Sennheiser CA2 Shoe Mount.

It seems to be of good quality

I bought a used set of Sennheiser G3 and it was missing a plate. My rig setup requires it to be mounted. Ordered it. came to me super quick. Right it in time before an important gig. Built quality is good . Not sure if it is original cuz i havent seen an original. Lol

I was searching in all service centres but it got on Amazon

Great mount for your sennheiser mount to attach to a dslr. A little expensive for what you get but a genuine part.

If you're using a wireless lav on location for video, this is a great attachment.

I dig the sennheiser wireless kits, but getting these on and off kinda sucks. Although they’re rock solid when they’re on...
