- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2024This is a small unit, but still large enough for most hand-held microphones. The internal diameter of the rings is 44mm at the front but only 39mm at the rear. This means it is just wide enough to hold the popular Zoom H1 recorder, but you need to centre it properly to ensure the unit isn't touching the edges of the shock mount. The package also includes a spare set of the rubber o-rings. A hotshoe adapter is included, making it useful for quickly mounting on top of a camera for fieldwork. The unit has a 5/8 inch thread and the hotshoe adapter also steps it down to 3/8 inch, so it should fit most stage microphone stands. However, if you want to mount it on a photography tripod, you will need to purchase a 5/8 to 1/4 stepdown adapter.
How effective is it? I tested it with two mics on a T bar on a tripod, one in the shock mount, one mounted directly and gave the tripod legs some knocks. This was a pretty extreme test. As you can see from the attached waveform, whilst it didn't eliminate the shock noise entirely, it did greatly reduce the spikes, brought it down to a much more manageable level. For its small size and portability, it gives good results.
