Title: Help needed identifying this shock mount
Post by: Chuck on February 16, 2010, 07:47:17 PM
I need a couple more of these.
They have a rather small basket (compared to other shocks I've had) and the brass ring with the two screw sizes is key. Does anyone recognize this shock mount? I know it was fairly cheap. I just don't remember where I got it...  :-[

Kinda looks like the Schoeps A20S but that wouldn't be cheap!

Yeah, definitely not the Schoeps...

I'll send the photo to Chris to see if it is one of his.

I just looked at the ones I have from him and it is the same.

BTW, ask him if he has any smaller baskets.  I can't use these with my AKG 300 bodies, even with some velcro on the inside of the basket.

I have some of those. Those are not the ones I'm looking for. The Meeks don't have the brass threads and are a bit bigger than the ones I want.

Damn.

but they are a newer style with felt liners in the clip so maybe the older ones had the insert?

I thought I heard or read that the newer Joe Meeks had the brass threads
what mics do you need them for?... they fit my 460s

It's a Busman shock mount.  I have 2 of them and they both have this.

I got my own question answered today - Busman has a 20mm basket that is felt lined.  He is going to send them to me to see how it works for me on the 19mm AKG 300 bodies.  What service!

Can't be the JoeMeek--those don't have a cable clamp. It's some other ripoff of the Schoeps A 20 design, but at least it has a cable clamp, which is an essential part of any shock mount.

To be honest - I would forget that completely and get a Rycote Inv-7 (http://www.rycote.com/products/families/invision/) - technically superb and very inexpensive (£30 in the UK).

It will hold almost any mic. with a diameter from 19mm to 25mm.

They are so good and so inexpensive I have now swapped all my mounts over to these.

if those don't work and you want cheap

That is what I use now.  ;D  And I was just thinking today that they have worked great for me and not sure why I want to go to the Busman's.  shock mount slut, I guess. :P

Yes - very inexpensive compared to normal quality mounts.

Cheaper than most manufacturer clamps.

Especially considering that they are technically the best on the market.

I said "inexpensive" *not* "cheap".

I had a pair of these mounts, they were from Nady.  they were the exact same size as the schoeps a20.  the JM's are a little larger, but look the same.

SSM-5 is the model.
