Weak and likely to fall off
The lever to tighten the clip is not easy to use because it is too close to the violin body.
The clip is plastic and bends when you try to get the clip really tight.
Which you try to do because the clip is likely to pull itself out of the single little rubber foot with the slightest tug.
You need to put the microphone stem into the clip before you mount it on the violin because it takes such a lot of pressure the clip will just fall off the violin as you struggle. Similarly it will fall off if you try to bend the microphone stem without also holding the clip, for which three hands would be ideal.

Unbeatable price
The whole t.bone ovid line has a price point so low that it's almost ridiculous. This clip works very well, just don't tighten anything too hard, it's plastic. But anyways, even the main competitor with clips for 5-6 times the price also get's worn out and is also made of plastic. Tip: get some high quality super glue and glue the rubber parts if they are a little loose, at least they were on mine.

Very flimsy
I've tried this Violin clip in few gigs and always had issues of it falling off.
The rubber feet comes undone very easily and I had too look for them on stage in the dark last time :(
Its very light weight which is great but needs extra care to make sure you don't touch the mic while playing or get the cable pulled as it will come undone at the first instance
Its a shame there is no better solution as the t.bone ovid mics are really great value for the money.

Effective but not as robust as it might be ... use with care
We?re a Ceilidh band who?ve been using one or two Ovid System mics for our fiddles for our occasional gigs over the last couple of years ... amounting to five or six gigs a year. Overall we?re very pleased with the mics, they are great for live performance. However, despite being reasonably careful in attaching the mics (after all, fiddles are fairly delicate!) on one of the Violin Clips the thread of the screw that?s essential for holding the clip on the instrument has become damaged, meaning it won?t stay tightened in the right position. Unfortunately Thomann cannot supply a replacement screw, so we?ve had to buy a new clip. Disappointing! I suppose the lesson is to tighten the screw carefully and not too tight ... but I would never have expected hand tightening a clip to cause damage it!

Does the work
Good for t.bone Ovid system microphones, but I think it's price is a bit high for something that can get lost so easily. Unfortunately, there is no alternative to chose from, at least in this price range.
It holds the mic pretty good, even for gigs, but I always have a feeling that it might slip easily.

My favourite violin clip
Better than other very good expensive clamps from much better brands.

Works but not perfectly, it is a bit loose and tiny plastic parts are not completely confidential

works great
works great and stays out of the way. Be careful with the screws - don't tighten it to hard because the thread is small and you can easily strip it.

Quite decent
Well it's cheap, and I actually really like this line of products, but this clip has its flaws. The small parts tend to fall off, and it can be hard to fit especially on violas. But it's cheap, so I suggest you buy a spare on for your t.bone microphone.

Would not recommend
Bought this as an addition the the t.bone Ovid system cc100. Wouldn't recommend it. It's cheap, but it's not worth the money. Better save up and buy a more expensive one.
