Does the job,
By Wild Indie (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RODE NTSM3 MICROPHONE SUSPENSION shockmount (Electronics)
Very good at what it does.. in other words holds the mic without vibration.... importantly the rubbers don't ping off at the slightest touch like another type I've used. Worth getting as a suppot for a good mic if you want really good sound from your camera recordings.

Very Versatile And Effective,
By Kelly Olsen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: RODE NTSM3 MICROPHONE SUSPENSION shockmount (Electronics)
Actually, the other review about having to remove the base to put this shock mount on a tripod is not completely correct. By simply using a $1.85 1/4 20 to 3/8 adapter (which can be had at any camera store) and screwing it into the bottom it can then be placed on any tripod without having to take the unit apart.The great thing about this shock mount is that it can be used in the hot shoe of a camera or put on the end of a regular boom pole without adding anything or taking off anything. Also tilt adjustable. The distance between the two round holders is about 2 1/4 inches. I use it with a rode NTG-1 boom and also an Oktava. It is expensive for "a piece of plastic," but all shock mounts are expensive and this is about half the cost of many of the others on the market and it is more versitile. The isolation from the rubber bands is great. In fact, I think the isolation from bumps and vibrations is better that those more costly units that have the hard rubber suspension. I'm so pleased with it and how well it performs and its versatility I'm buying a second one. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Affordable and functional,
By Felter32 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: RODE NTSM3 MICROPHONE SUSPENSION shockmount (Electronics)
Not sure what else to say. This mount is great. 1/4" screw mount, hotshoe mount, and extra rubber bands. It doesn't have a true professional build quality, but for the price, you can get 3 of these for the price of a pro one. Also, it will fit just about any size shotgun, not just rode.

Not bad at all,
By Eugene F. Fama - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: RODE NTSM3 MICROPHONE SUSPENSION shockmount (Electronics)
This is a nice little device. Good shotgun mounts are tough to find because the circumferences of microphones vary. This mount solves the problem by suspending the microphone in a flexible network of elastics. The effectiveness of this approach will depend on the weight and shape of your mic--the elastics aren't stretched super tight and don't seem extraordinarily strong. A heaver mic can cause them to shift and the mic to sag. And though it hasn't happened, I could picture the elastic cradle widening enough for the mic to barrel out of the mount completely during an overhead-boom shot.I only use Rode mics and have both an NTG-3 and an NTS-1. I can't picture this thing holding my NTS-1, but for that mic you should get the Rode SM6 Professional Shock Mount with Integrated Pop Shield anyway. It's a great mount, better than the SM3 for condensers but not as good for shotguns (and too heavy for camera-mounted work). My Rode NTG3 fits nicely in the SM3, mounted in the DSLR coldshoe, parallel to the ground. When you put a foam cover or deadcat on, the mic gets a little front-heavy and leans forward just a touch. I compensate by tightening back the patch cable. It's no big deal. This mount isolates from stabilizer hum and other sounds the camera makes. With the NTG3 as cargo, it makes the Rode Videomic sound like a broken AM radio. |
