Topic: shockmounts for AKG 460?

[thunderbolt]

I have NEVER had them twist, bounce and droop 

some of us on this board do this for a hobby and feel like spending $125 on a pair of shockmounts ridiculous... enjoy your rycotes 

The Rycote INV series are £30 in the UK and cheaper than most other mounts - and better than those costing 5 or 10 times the price - it's a no-brainer.

I started as a hobby and never bought cheap - even at the very start.  My first microphones were a months wages at the time!

Normally I find that the hobbyist now has better equipment than the professionals.

Doing it as a hobby does not necessarily mean doing it cheap.

Tell me about it!  Yesterday, they did a video shoot at my agency.  Two guys arrived carrying big boxes and lots of gear, and ended up shooting with....an EOS digital SLR and a Zoom!
