Look at the Rycote INV 7, a good choice for a front-heavy microphone - which that c522 seems to be:

I agree that the standard INV-7 with individual Lyres could work, but you linked the INV-7 HG mkIII which has a Duo-Lyre, and the cradle of that mount may have issues with the tapered body.

Rycote recommends the USM-L for this mic.
