Re: m1 headmount method

One thing about the clothes hanger for a mount is that it really needs
to be wrapped in some foam to be comfortable for long term use. Maybe
the use of the street headphones will be more comfortable. (also if
you have a lot of hair, you may not notice the bare wire as much) 

Last night I found an old pair of sunglasses that inspired a variant
on the glasses mount M1:

These glasses are small and have small lenses. I popped one lense out
and popped in the m1. Oila! a perfect, snug fit. I ran the cable down the
bow and wrapped it in e-tape.

I still use the old M1 hand held version with the thick cable. the
thick cable makes it impossible to fold down the one bow. But maybe
the new version with the thin cable can be folded. If so, you could
take the glasses off and put them in your shirt pocket.

For the stability, comfort and centered positioning, this is my new
favorite m1 mount.

Incidentaly, we sell virtually no M1 glasses mount version (tekgear calls them
hh or hand helds) which suprises me. Everyone seems to want the
standard one. True, the standard v lends itself to e-tapeless
mounting. But even for mounting on the rim of a baseball cap, the
glasses mount seems more efficient. I wonder if the names, "hand held"
and "glasses mount" are misleading or limiting. Perhaps "unimount" is
better as one does not need to mount it on glasses or hold it in the
hand.

What are you thoughts on this matter? Glasses mount or standard? Did
you buy one and wish you had the other?
