That's the Canon style ones.Â* They were strong, BUT those screws were

working their way out and getting lost if you didn't locktite them.
Yes, and I always wrapped colored tape over the connector and screws for
cable identification anyway. Never got lost after that even if they came

Also the boot materials decayed.
But not as quickly with canon as the cheap imitations.

OK, just ordered 20 each M and F Switchcraft 'A' series. I assume nobody
was talking about the 'quick' series ones ! Less than US$3 each at B&H.
Yes, the odd Switchcraft I have had in the past has always requires a
drip of Loctite .
90° XLRs sadly a 'can of worms' and added complication, given differing

damage fulcrum (potentially more to the socket) by 50%ish anyway.
