The Rode SM3 is a unique universal shock mount for shotgun microphones, featuring a 4-way rubber suspension system with a quick-release tilt mechanism, enabling simplified directional angling and minimal visual intrusion.

The SM3 is equipped with a large positioning screw handle for a secure grip, and an oversized, easily accessed adjustment wheel for the shoe adapter. The mounting system provides 3/8"-16 internal threading for boom poles, and a standard hot shoe adapter for camera mounting.
