Hey Guys,
I'm looking for a dual microphone mount for my Panasonic DVC 700 series. I have the one stud mount to hold my stick mic, but just upgraded my shotgun and would like to mount both. The majority of the rest of our cams have them, but our supplier can't locate any more. Anyone know of a supplier?

Sounds like you may need to do some fabrication work. I had something kinda like that, but had to make it myself....

On our DSR250 I used sheet metal and a mic clamp, painted the metal black and it worked just fine.

$85 bucks for that mount.....Wow!!!! I make all my mic brackets. At the last shop, the Engineers made brackets for our mics and wireless.
On the same idea as Chiefphotdog, I go to the local hardward store and buy a straight bracket. I believe they are used as extra support for corners and stuff. They all ready have holes in them. I mount the "bracket" using the screw hole on the camera handle. I bend the bracket to mount my mic holder. I just use the holder, not the screw part. Get a few screws and plastic spacers to hold the mic holder. The bracket that I am using is also used for my light. Mounted the light on a light stud. Light is moved from the center for better lighting.....My cool trick....PM me for pictures and parts. Cost is like $5 bucks or less. About an hour to do....I did paint it black to look cool.

I’ll definitely be fabbing something up if I can’t find this mount, but obviously, I’d rather have something purpose built.

BTW, here's a pic.

That lookes easy to make.....But looks heavy! You can go to the hardware store and use nylon bolts for the mounts. And you can get a knob there, too.
With that design, I would mount one holder off the handle and leave the other one on the lower mount.
