I use this camera for self-filming hunts and needed a better solution to mounting my shotgun mic. I was using a Rode SM3-R mounted to the hot shoe on my camera, but it never seemed to stay tight, and the shock mounts ended up breaking halfway through the season. I actually ended up removing the cold shoe adapter from the SmallRig mic holder, reused the mounting bar for the Rode SM3-R, and mounted the SmallRig mic holder straight to the SM3-R bar. It sits nice and tight to the camera, the SM3-R bar pulls the mic back about 4 inches out of the camera view, and it all fits really snug now. Definitely recommend this mic holder as well as SmallRig accessories (I also use their fluid head)

I have been a big fan of Smallrig products, this mic holder did not disappoint, well made, held microphone nicely with a nice rubber lining. There is strength to hold the dead cat wind screen nicely. This product will also hold larger mics. Great product to add to my gadget box.

The product wobbles and you have to put something in between the gap to keep it stable. The springs popped out and I lost a washer and could never put it fully together. It's too pricey to replace. Maybe better off buying a different one as its all pieced together.

しっかりした造りで安心感があります。シューとホルダーの間の2点のゴムがいわゆる免震構造になっています。NX5Rにはマイクホルダーが元々付いているがフロントシューに付けてみた。狭くて激しい撮影現場では、横へ張り出しているマイクホルダーではマイクが邪魔になることがあるのでマイクをレンズ上に持ってきたかった。純正の付属マイクであるSONY ECM-XM1は問題なく装着。若干高さが上がるが許容範囲でしっかりと支えています。少し長さのあるSENNHEISER MKE600も垂れ下がることなく装着はできた。ただしハンディでカメラを振ると上下に若干揺れる。マイクの中央辺りを掴めばバランスがいいだろう。画角に映り込むことはないのでまあこれが限界の長さか。いずれもしっかりとマイクを掴み外れて落ちるようなことは無かった。シューへの取り付けもしっかりと締め込められます。

I have a few shotgun mic’s and they all come with those red stands you see everywhere. They work, especially the new Helix style that Rode has implemented.But this SMALLRIG mic holder is both style and function. It’s a definite upgrade and hold all my different sized mic’s well, providing a good shock mount and much greater professional look when in use.Recommended.

Love this thing! Bought a shotgun mic for my phone and it came with this cheap plastic holder that would bend under the weight of the mic and wind fury. This holder has no problem keeping my mic in place.

But for heavier or longer shotgun mics it won't be good at all you will pick all noise

Same high build quality as everything else smallrig does, but it's heavy. So much so that when mounted sideways with a microphone, it bent a considerable amount. If mounting straight up, then it's not as bad, but I figured the point was to mount in different positions. It clamps the microphone well, and mine didn't move.The weight of a mic and the heavier metal build caused too much bending in the unit, and made it unusable for my application. It works well, but wasn't usable for my needs.

I’ve been the cheap plastic mic holders for awhile. With even the slightest bump, they either break or allow the mic to fly off the mount. This cold shoe mic mount it QUALITY and should be the last one I have to buy.The mount is made of aluminum, adjusts to fit different size mics, mounts to the camera securely (again with a metal ring), and is a matte black to blend in. It’s pricey, but looking back on how many plastic ones I’ve purchased over the years, I’ll save in the long run.The item comes nicely packaged is shipped quickly and returns are free. Small Rig has a variety of similar camera add ons and I recommend you check them out if you’re tired of cheap gear that breaks.

Another quality product from SmallRig. I got this to replace the in-the-box microphone shockmount from Deity for the D3 Pro shotgun microphone. Unlike the original mount, this one from SmallRig is compact, mostly metal (it has rubber isolation rings to dampen movement), and it fits into a cold shoe easily. This is a much more slimline setup than I had before which makes it easier to pack and travel with.I was worried that with only a single hold on the mic that this SmallRig mount might transfer more unwanted noises to the recording... but I have not found that to be the case. Everything works as before, with no bumps or wiggles of the camera making their way into the final audio mix. Just slide this thing into an open cold shoe, tighten down the ring, plug in the microphone cable and you are done.The only places I could see some improvement would be: make the clamp area a bit more narrow to avoid putting pressure on mic buttons located in the area, and adding a 1/4" - 20 screw option to the bottom of the cold shoe mount to allow for more mounting options.I'm glad I picked this SmallRig mic clamp up and it is now in my go-to bag for future recordings.

ミラーレスカメラの動画撮影用に15㎝ほどのステレオマイクを付けられないかと、探しまくって見つけた品です。他の方のレビューでも、「クッション材が柔らかすぎてぐらつく」の表記が気になっていましたが作りがしっかりしていそうなので購入しました。失敗です。マイクが前下がりに傾きぶらぶら状態です。 値段に納得の、万力のように締め付ける、基本性能はしっかりしているので、そのうちクッション部を切り取り、アクリル系の堅いプラスチックかラバーに換えて、他のカメラアクセサリーなどの台として使えないかと考え中です。改良された品が発売されるまで、購入は控えた方が良いと思います。

it doesn't have enough strength to hold it without bending under the weight. you can't always put the mic on camera in a way that is evenly balanced, and this mic holder needs the mic to be perfectly balanced inside of it or it droops.
