Rode SM-5

Works well, I think I will cut off the diameter that I dont need to make it lighter.

Twee redenen voor de aanschaf van deze shockmount. In de eerste plaats op de Canon XA10 klemt de originele microfoon zich te dicht bij de camera en bij gebruik van een shotgun microfoon Rode NTG1 met een dode kat kan men de haren zien tijdens het filmen. Met de shockmount kunt u de microfoon positie aanpassen om hem te verplaatsen uit de buurt van de lens. Ten tweede isoleert het de microfoon tegen schokken en stoten bij het indrukken van toetsen op de camera. Met deze shockmount zijn mijn audio opnames perfect en ben dan ook uiterst tevreden met deze aankoop. De service van Bax was ook weer top.Binnen korte tijd had ik mijn shokmount in huis.

The rubber bands hold the mic well but once I clamped it down inside of the shotgun mount on my AG-HMC150, the suspension mount stuck too far out of the clamp and therefore made it very unsteady. Seemed like the whole mount could slide out of the cla,p at any moment. The shotgun mount would be better served on a cstand with clamp or boom pole. Not very good design for being on a camera.

I used this both on camera and on a boom pole. This mount is designed to fit various sizes of on camera microphone mounts. I use it on Canon XL2. On a boom pole, the threaded mid section allows me to just screw it on and go. The only drawback was the squeaking noise that happens while using this on a boom pole. The microphone slips a little while the pole is in motion. It is very noticeable and makes the audio unusable. As others have noted, twisting the bands a few times to really tighten it up has helped. I guess that's a price of flexibility. I am looking for another specific to the Rode NTG-2 that I can just lock into.

This mount fits into my Sony Z5U microphone holder and extends the mic out of the frame: the problem I was having was using a larger, and better, windscreen than the thin foam one supplied with the Sony shotgun mic that comes with the camera. It kept appearing in wide angle shots, not all the time, but as the mic mount on the camera is somewhat flexible, it would,from time to time, show up in my recorded video (not always noticeable when you're shooting on the fly outdoors using the LCD or viewfinder). So that's why I got this RODE SM-5 mount. The only issue now is that I'll need to get a longer mic to use it, because the shorter Sony mic, with any windscreen on it, is too short for the mount. So...another purchase. Otherwise the mount works as advertised.
