Hard to attatch mic, but money worth

I had a pretty hard time getting the microphone into the holder (you have to spread the strings in the holder, and they are pretty tight as it is). I had to use a tool spread the strings while my assistant had to hold the mic holder in place.

Anyway, once in place, the microphone stays there all right but can still be rotated without big effort.

I'm not too optimistic that the strings will hold the mic tight forever since there's a good amont of strain on them and they usually tend to get looser on basicly all mic holders over time, both cheap and expensive.

Still a good product for this small buck though!

Great value

Even though spec says max 40mm, this fits 52mm diameter mic (AT2020). The mic itself is held between the elastic cords, so it adapts very well to any mic size. Works very well, and costs next to nothing! Worth every penny.

Shockmount for various Microphones

I have used this Shock mount with a Neumann km184 and a Shure SM57, it worked fine with both of them although they have a different diameter. In my eyes the only disadvantage is the cord. It is not very flexible, so maybe other shock mounts have a better absorption of impact noise. All in all a good product.

For this price

For this price you may not expect anything very good but this device impressed me as you get a fully working shochmount for a ten. Quality feels good and I have nothing to complain as it just works. The price is low so that's plus.

Excellent value mic suspension on a budget.

Bought these for a couple of Rode NT5s and didn't really expect too much at such a low price, but they exceeded my expectations. Build quality is surprisingly good at this price point and they provide just as much isolation as MUCH more expensive branded shock mounts I own for other mics. Brilliantly they're designed (or maybe its lucky coincidence?) to just fit together in an X/Y mounting if you use a stereo bar and a thread spacer on one mount. I also managed to get them neatly set up correctly for ORTF with the same mics. It looks like the dude who designed these actually tested them out at prototype stage to check their usability - something that doesn't always seem the case with cheaper products!

Can't recommend them strongly enough - superb product for the price.

Good economy product

This shockmount is certainly affordable. Considering the price it provides a reasonable degree of isolation from floor noises etc. I have had a pair for a couple of years now and have used them mainly with a pair of NT5 mics. The elastic cradle holds these reasonably well when placed horizontaly but a little improvisation is called for to ensure a snug fit in a more vertical placement. The NT5 is a slim mic though!

Useful tool

Not a bad tool, though think if I bought more, id splash out more cash, as these feel a bit of a false economy. They work okay, but anything heavier than a cheap pencil confessor will slide out. I bought the to hold a couple of vocal mics to reduce handling noise, but they slip slowly out the basket

Great

Very stable robust and universal device

OK

Does the job but it's a little big so when you fit a stereo bar out with 2 of these loaded with mics and cables it does end up a bit clumbersome and heavy and difficult to get the capsules next to each other so.... Does the job but not the best solution!

T Bone SSM6

This shockmount is one of those items which is absoloutly indispensable when recording. The T bone version is excellent and it does the job perfectly. At just over 8euro this is for nothing. Get one. It will improve your recording

good value

The shock mount was an excellent buy for the price. Well constructed and works well. I found it quite difficult to fit the microphone I was using but that is probably a lack of practice.

Would recommend.

Great Mic Holder

Good, solid unit for holding all moderate sized microphones. Used with pencil condensors to great effect.
