How to reassemble the Rode Podmic

Go to solution Solved by king_gill,

Hey guys,
I am back! I found a solution and wanted to post a picture here to make it easier for others. I was on call with Rode Support and the madlad on the other end grabbed his personal podmic and took it apart and explained the reassembly to me. I hope this helps.

Hello!

I let a friend borrow my podmic to record some voice overs and he unscrewed the side arm because he thought that would make it easier to pack. Unfortunately I have no idea how to screw the sidearm back on and I also don't know the exact order of the little rings in there. Could someone please check their Podmic or maybe help me figure out how to put it back together.

Thank you for your help in advance!

wha....
how......
Best I can tell the big plastic ones go on the outside and the thick plastic ones go right up against the mic and then the washers are used to reduce friction but I have no idea the exact order.

If anyone here has the mic in front of them they may know better but this is the best I can do, sorry.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I genuinely have no idea how my friend managed to convince himself that taking this apart was a good idea.

@king_gill

You have 5! = 120 possible combinations. So it shouldn't take too much time. 🙃

 

All the pieces should have some wear from their earlier position and it shouldn't take too much time to figure out, which parts were touching. The two sides are most likely identical. You can find some additional clues in the CAD drawing of the data sheet.
