Title: Tensimounts or Superlux shocks?
Post by: learning_towalk on January 10, 2005, 12:58:39 PM: I can't see shelling out 50 bucks for a mount right now....so I'm thinking about either tensimounts or the superlux shocks....both are cheap enough and I've read positive things about each....so which would you reccomend?

I'm also looking for a good T-bar any reccomendations...I plan on mainly running ORTF and XY

Post by: hhf32 on January 15, 2005, 11:39:54 PM: I just got the superlux mounts. I have'nt got to use them in the field yet but they look like they'll be perfect. I picked them up for $23 with extar set of bands. Super fast shipping!!! They got from Colorado to Nh in 3 days via USPS priority mail.

Post by: Swampy on January 16, 2005, 12:25:12 AM: I used Superlux mounts for well over a year. Never had a problem, though Ive heard of many peoples breaking. I took mine all over the place. probably 50 shows in Pittsburgh, NYC, Bonnaroo, ect... and never had any problems. I think they are significantly smaller than the tensimounts also.

Post by: spyder9 on January 17, 2005, 03:20:26 AM: You can get the KM235 T bar at www.atomicmary.com for $20.00 shipped. Best price on the 'net. Very good people. Quick ship. I recommended them to everyone here and no one has had problems.

I have a pair of the Tensimounts. The bands on them are very filmsy. I was going to dump them, but they worked great for my mini mics. I do recommend a pair of Audio Technica AT8415 universal shocks. A lot of guys have them. But they are a bit pricey. So .....

Post by: Tall Adam on January 17, 2005, 03:31:02 AM: i just gave away a pair of tensi's a few weeks ago...too bad you missed 'em! ;) i have a pair of studio projects c4 mounts that i dont really need anymore...but they're not perfect, i was gonna hold onto them as backups but i could give them away as freebies if someone really wanted them. what mics are you running?

Post by: learning_towalk on January 17, 2005, 09:42:11 AM: I ordered my Tbar from Atomicmary thanks for the suggestion!

I will be running ADK SC-T's (that is if Teajay ever gets my first payment that I sent out like 2 week ago)

I think I'm going to order the Superlux ones because I can get 3 of em plus 2 sets of extra bands shipped for about 12 bucksless than one of the 8415's

Post by: Swampy on January 18, 2005, 02:21:57 PM: Ya, I have 391s in Superluxes, they arn too snug, but they still fit okay. Ive borrowed Jef's 480s and they are a little bigger, I think that they would break the bands too often...
Title: Re: Tensimounts or Superlux shocks?
Post by: BJ on January 18, 2005, 02:23:45 PM: thanx alex i will order these tonight...unless i happen to win the 460's ebay auction...PLEASE LET ME WIN THAT!!!

Post by: Ed. on January 19, 2005, 04:03:34 AM: superlux mounts are very nice in my opinion - nice and low profile. don't see myself using any other mount until i absolutely need to.

Post by: aberg on January 19, 2005, 06:01:56 PM: I got a pair of lux mounts second hand and the threads were practically worn out so it didn't take long for them to bite the dust... I ordered a new pair just now and they're fine. I really nice set of mounts and I will be using them until they need replacing... since they're so cheap, it can be easily done that way without losing your wallet...
