I noticed the shock mount is designed like the Rode Video Mic. Does this mic have the issues with the rubber bands squeaking, like the Rode Video Mic?

I personally haven't encountered any issues with the rubber bands and I use this mic quite frequently.

No, if kept very well it shouldnt be a problem, just dont force the rubber bands to streth to hard.

They don't really move enough to squeak really, the rubber material is quite dense. But I find it very effective.

My experience is that it is a great recording mic. It was not meant for live performances as the design is sensitive to movement hence the rubber suspension holding mechanism to reduce vibrations. Good Luck.

Sure. The shock mount clamps around the girth of the mic. You shouldn't have any problem. I've had no issues with this mount as of yet. I've had it for about a year and a half now.

No issues as far as I've had it. It's only been 4 months but overall amazing mic!

Yes. I angled my mount upwards to shoot video but it vibrates too much to enjoy the video afterwards. That was mountain biking though without full suspension.

You don't need a shock mount for dynamic mics, period.This microphone is poor for recording. A person's voice sounds congested, like having a cold. I recommend buying the Audix dynamic mic you can afford.

Hello. Yes. The boom is a good way to get the mic overhead and away from the base (and ultimately upside down when you're using it). But on a regular mic stand, without a boom, the mount goes directly on the threads where the microphone clip would normally go. The Blue Radius mount has a swivel and adjuster that is included with it. So you can mount it on a vertical mic stand and adjust the mount to be horizontal. Then the mic can be used right-side-up... or down if you prefer. Lol. The short answer, however, is YES. No problem.

The rode video mic is the way to go. its about 150 dollars, but it's the best consumer mic out there for that price.

No it does not come with a shock mount. I ordered this one which was adequate: Campro Deluxe Microphone Shockmount With Hotshoe ,1/4-20,3/8 ,5/8 Connectors Included ,Perfect for Zoom H1 , Senheisser ME66 ,Rode NTG-2,NTG-1 ,Audio-Technica AT-875R and many more

Check out the two Rode models. They make one for about $150.00 and a stereo mic for $250 that can also be used as a stand alone shotgun mic or attached to a boom. They both look good but the more expensive model looks absolutely fantastic. I haven't bought either one of these yet so I can't vouch for their quality but they both get very good reviews.

Put the mic on a stand (when possible). That will eliminate the mechanical noise completely. Otherwise, the shock mount will reduce the noise quite a bit.

I'm using the "Rode VIDEOMIC Directional Shotgun Mic w/Mount" with my canon hg10. Is not that expensive, exhibits low noise and offers a switchable high pass filter to reduce unwanted low frequency rumble. I truly recommend you this product.

This is an all metal construction with a foam rubber sleeve to hold the mic in place. Real clean, works well for a low-cost shock mount.

No shock mount is included with the MXL microphone. I purchased the Samson SP01 shock mount to go with it.

I never try Rode mic, in Shure product manual told it need to turn the camera volume to lowest level then would has best result, hope it can help.

I have a Rode NT1A mounted on it which weights .7lbs. It holds it up without a problem. If you are using a shotgun mic you will need to buy a different shockmount, but it will hold it without a problem.

As with most on board camcorder microphones, there is still a fair amount of wind noise that can get though, even with the Wind Noise Cancel function activated. I was able to eliminate most of it (and still retain decent sound) by applying two thicknesses of Blenderm (medical) tape over the microphone. I then went with a Rode Videomic with a deadcat and the problem was solved with great results. I hope this helps!
