Curious what 930 and related model users are using for mounts these days; I assume something basic like a couple Shure donuts into an AKG or other basic T-Bar does the trick, but let me know if you have other ideas.... Asking about the full-size mics, not the detachable cap version.

The mount I would use is the Rycote Inv-7 (http://www.rycote.com/products/041107/) and the S-series XLR tail yo help decouple the cable (the price of this tail has been reduced by half from the 1st Feb. In the UK down from £30 to £15 - the Inv-7 is £30).

For a stereo bar you can use the one of your choice from the cheap but good K&M to the expensive but superb Grace SpaceBar.
I hope this helps.

Regardless of what shock mount you get, don't neglect the cable you attach to the mic. Using a stiff cable will negate just about all the isolation you gain from the shockmount. The Rycote S-series tails work fine, but are kinda hard to find. You can roll your own by using a section of thin flexible cable such as is used for lav mics or the inner cables from a snake. Some assembly is required.

I just use the standard MC930 shockmount

I use those for my 480's. I like 'em.

Very similar to the Beyer mount, I use the Avant SSM for all my sd mics - Beyer, Berliner and Naks.

I have not found that - most dealers in the UK can easily supply them, or you can order direct from Rycote.

Agreed - a good alternative.

I usually use these w/ 930's:

There's a spot-on review there from a fellow taper and he correctly points out that these mounts don't give a huge amount of vibration isolation but are nice and lo-pro. Though they're a tad bit tighter than I'd like, but better too tight than too loose IMO.
