I’ve had bad luck with redrock micro on a few occasions. I’ve found their kips (not true Kipp™ brand handles) to be subpar. I’ve used their gear on a few occasions I’ve found the handles to be stripped out and then you can’t tighten them down enough, making it really jenky. Also, sometimes, but not always, I’ve found a little play in their plastic handles that has a little rattle. Not, like, where it’ll bother the sound guy, but just enough for me to feel my gear isn’t all tight and locked down and feeling secure.
The blue also just kills me. I swear I’m not a label whore, but I see blue and I’m just reminded of their jenky gear.
I’m a huge fan of Berkey System stuff. I’m just about to get a shoulder pad from them…much cheaper, and higher quality and more customizable that the blue stuff.
