Topic: Hurcules Isolation Mount

[KenH]

I picked up a pair a couple of months ago, but haven't used them live.

Using 2 on a Tbar, one for each mic, I found it hard to get an exact angle (eg, 110deg ORTF) since there's a bit of play on top.
Eg, get the mics to the desired angle, but on release they'd move. Not good.

I then tried putting a single mount on the top of my light stand, then attached a Tbar w/ 2 mics (also KM184s) to it.  Too much weight for the mount to handle.   I noticed a LOT of wobble. 

fwiw

This would be a great solution for smaller setups but I can't see putting an A27 and Two Full 480's on that without it ending up fully leaning on one side.

Nice find though! Thanks for the testing.

Better read this thread before you do, Nick.  Sounds like these mounts aren't at all what they promise...

these things are dirt cheap, don't expect then to work like a $100 shock mount.  they work great for small, light mics.  I have used them with vocal mics too and it works fine.
