I just bought 2 drip shields from avid, since I was buying a 306 to 510 adapter anyway. As a bonus they also make a cool looking ego cone drip shield, so I bought 2 of those as well. I'm trying a forwarding service and hoping they get to me before I leave.
From the pictures, I don't see what the difference is between the ones from Avid and the ones from Empire besides the look of them (and I would've got the solid black no "rings" version from Empire anyway). Can anyone enlighten me? I did a search around here and youtube before buying them, but I didn't see anything on them besides passing mentions.
