does the job

I have it in my home studio, using it with a t.bone sc300, just for fun, recording ideas mainly. I have it for nearly 3 years now or so, it works ok, but I don't feel I'd trust the rubbers to use with a decent expensive mic.

Handy to have kicking around the studio.

I bought this to have a more universal mic holder.

Pro's - This will accept most mic types and provides a pretty firm grip once the mic is in place.Very good value for money.

Con's - The build quality is good for light to medium use but i think that's reflected in the price.

I find myself reaching for this cradle every once in a while and i'm glad i have it.Good swiss army knife for your studio,large or small.

Better than expected

I use this product with Røde NT5 microphones in my home studio. I bought these because Røde does not supply shockmounts with the NT5 set.

Pros:

The outer ring is made of a metal, which is really sturdy. The shockmount is quite well built and holds the microphones well. The shockmounts include an extra set of elastic bands.

Cons:

When in 90 degrees position, the mics are a bit too heavy and slide down the elastic bands.

Well made shock mount

It does it job, but slight vibrations still pass to the mic . But for a non professional studio it will be perfect.

Very useful - buy at least 2 of them.

Shock mounts are a must-have device, particularly when working with musicians who can't help walking into a mic stand at the worst possible moment. At less than 8euro a throw you should buy one for every suitable mic that you own.

It ok, could be better

I could feel more secure about my km184. The included rigs help but it would be better if it had tighter inner thread, they should had think while they designing them that the inner thread is elastic enough by its nature so it wouldn't hurt to be smaller thus more tight to the mic.

It would be an excellent product if it also could rotate vertically

if the t.bone redesign this product with a tiny bit smaller inner thread and vertical rotation it will be an amazing product.

Do you mind replacing the rubbers?

If the answer is: no, then you will be ok. The frame is robust, metal. The rubbers are weak and will break in a short time. If you replace them with a good one you'll have a nice mount.

Great as a general shock mount

Generally works perfect for microphones i have where the clips have broken or been lost, pretty universal, only mic ive had issue using this with is a D112

Not that universal.

From all of my microphones, I can fit just some pencil condensers and the SM57 in it. Still, pretty useful when recording amped guitars.

pretty much does what it is meant to do

I got this to hold one of my large condenser microphones, it works well, it's a little tight to get the mic in but hardy enough so that it doesn't break whilst trying to get it in.

It screws on to mic stands pretty easily and comes with a nice large adapter( the kind with the rim so It wont get stuck inside). the knob to tighten the hinge is nice and big and feels sturdy so you don't have to fiddle round to much trying to get the right angle. all in all a good product for the price. had mine a few years use it a lot and its still in the same shape as when I first got it.

Great shock mount!

I use this shock mount with the Behringer XM8500 and I've had 0 issues with weight or handling.

It is rather large, though, so keep that in mind when positioning for video use or cramped spaces.

The best option for my overheads.

When there is a product like this for this price, there was no need for me to use shock mounts from other brands. It's very high-quality and practical.

Simple

It works, for me. Love it.

Great value!

I bought one of these hoping it would fit my pair of Oktava Mk-012's, and it did so I got the other one with my next order! Amazing value for money, as it seems very well made. Actually I haven't been disappointed with any of my t.bone products so far.

I'll most likely wind a rubber band around the end of each MK-012 in a situation where the mics are pointing right downwards, just as a security precaution because the mics are quite slim. But it probably isn't necessary though.

I can definitely recommend this mic shock mount!

Does what it's supposed to.

I was a bit nervous about hanging an expensive mic of this thing as it was cheap, but it did the job perfectly.

The mic was completely suspended without any problems and was easy to position where I needed it.

Doesn't work very well if you want the mic to be mounted horizontally.

Everything you need

The t bone shock mount is a great solution for all your condenser mic needs. The elasticity holds mics tightly and securely, and the overall construction looks and feels great. Easy to attach to boom and straight mic stands. Cheap, easy to use- no complaints!

works incredible well

Use it for a Royer R-121 (25mm diameter) and it just fits perfectly - no need to spend 300 GBP for a branded shockmount - this just does it very nicely - spare bands included and if you are still sceptical - buy 2 - you wont regret it!

Decent quality

If you're a bedroom musician like me, this one is for you.
