Will my mic slip out if the camera tilts downward? Using an Audio Technica 897.
523087
When I use my small Oktave mic with this shock mount since it has a smaller diameter and I have to use gaffe tape to hold it, how ever with my larger boom mics it holds better, but I still use tape since I'm always worried it's going to slip out and hit the talent. I purchased another shock mount the "Pearstone DUSM-1 Universal Shock Mount " which has a way better band system and I use this one with my boom pole and use the other one on my camera rig. The problem with the Pearstone is that it has a permanent cold shoe mount and only screws on to boom poles with a small thread.

It depends on the diameter of the mic but this has never happened to me with my Audio Technics ATR6550. It is 13/16" in diameter and I can hold it with the mic straight up and down and it doesn't slip.

I haven't any issues with it use my NTG-2. How if you aren't plugging it into a traditional XLR cable (maybe you're using a wireless unit with it) you may have issues depending on angle and weight. It's secure but there are definitely more secure solutions out there.

hmm....I think you'll be okay, but I can't say for shure (LOL sorry). I put off getting this thing for the same reason. I use mine with a U87 and i was really worried that it would sag or eventually give out. It has NOT! It's works like a dream. I even got the special piece that you screw into the wall or the desk, but I have not had to use it. I'm just using it with the desk attachment that comes with the unit. The U87 as you may know is a really large, heavy mic. I don't think it weighs 4lbs. however. I'd say give it a try. You can always return it. I have not found any better solution and I've looked quite a bit. hmm....I think you'll be okay, but I can't say for shure (LOL sorry). I put off getting this thing for the same reason.

Sure. Your camera is equipped with a standard size flash mount which this mike fits. There's also a tighten down wheel on the mount so the mike will be stable regardless of your camera's position during shooting. I get excellent quality audio with mine. Be sure though to do testing with your mike before actually shooting with it. I've found the mike works best, at least on my Canon, in the auto level setting. That means, and you probably know this, you don't have to adjust the audio levels because the camera does this. Also my camera doesn't seek a level so it gives me excellent results. Good luck

Hi. We have tried this or dealt with this before, but if all you are doing is transferring the audio coming into the Mic to the Camera, it seems like this should be fine. Thank you

Yes, just flip the mic over to the other side. I hope this was helpful.Lisa

The microphone does not necessarily fall away. There's only 7 inches between the right earbud and the mic, and 3.5 inches to the central joiner. Also, when laying down the left earbud wire (and wire to the phone) helps create some friction against your body, so more surface area, less movement overall. This principal should apply to any set of earbuds. When I lay down the mic stays on my chest. If I move around a lot then the microphone "might" move up toward my neck. But with only 7 inches it can't go far; definitely never falls to my side. Finally, a clip is included so the wire can be anchored to your shirt, and with that the mic is definitely not going anywhere. The microphone does not necessarily fall away.

Not sure, but if you are referring to having it connected to a computer it could be a soft ware issue. I think I was covering up the mic with my hand at times inadvertently while recording.

I haven't had any feedback issues with it in general. The only times it does is if the gain input is too high or you cover the mic (which is the way feedback happens on regular mics too).

If you follow the directions for using one of the two mounting options that come with the boom, you will not have problems with it tipping. BUT... remember that the boom rests in a base and is held there by gravity and if you "lift" the entire boom when you are moving the microphone around, you could accidentally lift it out of the base and it will fall. This has never happened to me, much less have I ever felt the boom lifting when I was lifting the mic. Do not forget to order an adapter between the vibration isolator and the boom. There are two standard threads and adapters available ($3.00+/-) on Amazon and most music stores to adapt one thread to the other

Shouldn't be a problem. The shoulder mics out right at 3/8 in. If it is too tight, ease it out with a round file. if it is too loose, shim with metal duct tape.

Yeah it will, unfortunately, but which proline mic stand do you have? If the pole is thin then yes it will fall over, but if its the thicker like the "proline studio boom mic stand" then no it wont, but you got to work with what you got, put something on the bottom of the stand to make it stay in place. that should do the trick, but if you have money to buy a better mic stand than I would make that choice. But dont always listen to people, if you don't wanna spend the money than dont, i always find a way to make things happen with what I got, be creative :) Best of luck too you

The swivel mount has a screw on connection that fits a shock mount. I do not see a place to mount a mic without some way to attach it. Rode.com could give you a more detailed answer about how to handle that. Frankly, you probably should be using a shock mount to get the best sound....worst case there's always duct tape...:) just kidding. kk voicebender.com

I haven't experienced any handling noise from this mic. It's on a shock mount. Once mounted it's as if it's "floating." Also has a low decibel cut switch that rids of most handling noise if there is any.

From experience- this would be helpful... however, you can use a "home made" method to silence the dreaded "P's " (pops). I typically turn the Mic sideways towards my mouth and it responds well.

No. The microphone is integrated and cannot be removed. It can be rotated upward out of the way.

keep the microphone behind -- not in front -- of the speaker unit. When the mic is placed in front of the speaker, you'll get that awful feedback. It's as easy as that. I'm very happy with the unit. Great buy for the price! And hello, it really works! Good luck.

Move the speaker off to the side of your waist and run the mic cable around your back instead of front with the mic opposite from the speaker . I usually wear a mask that prevents this anyway.
