Amazing product!

It makes a great difference using it vs. the on-camera mount. Almost all the handling noise is gone! I'm very happy with this little device. The sound quality using my shotgun mic on the camera is much much better.

Did the trick for my shotgun mic

I needed to mount my Rode NTG-2 shotgun mic to my Canon XF100 camcorder. Unfortunately, the Canon microphone mount's inner diameter was too large for the mic. The SM5 fit nicely into the mic mount of the XF100 and provided a nice suspension / acoustic isolation for the microphone. The entire combination of the SM5, mic and XF100 mount, sags a tiny bit (because the XF100 mic mount has a rubber cushion) but is not a problem. The unit appears to be very well built and looks like a professional piece of gear (makes a good impression on clients). I believe it is a decent value although I think it is a bit over priced.

Are the rubber suspension bands available as accessories? I need to purchase a replacement for a missing one on my shock mount. Thanks
