DAMN...
Almost $4,000 for a pair of mikes and Neumann wants $400 each for the shock mounts? (actually, I found them for $300 each, but STILL)
These come with the swivel mounts, and they are rubber mounted/isolated (as is the capsule) but they take up ALOT of space trying to mount M/S or Blumlien. The factory shock mount attaches at the base of the mike, with the screwdown ring, taking the place of the bottom of the swivel mount.
Anyone see/know of a LESS EXPENSIVE shock mount, that can be attached in a similar fashion?
I'm busy scraping together the $4,500 for the new Canon 1D MK II that's coming in 30 days. Just don't have $600 to blow on shock mounts (but on the other hand, would hate to see an $1800 mike fall 15 feet to a concrete floor from a rigged shock mount).
Any tips would be appreciated...
