But when using the Softie will I still be able to use the shock mount? Also, what would be the best possible shock mount and softie to attach the 8060 on a camera.

question
If i want to use shotgun for VO, which is better. MKH416 or MKH8060? Which is more directional and reject side noise?
Both are good, the 416 is more directional, but it can be a bit too drastic in directionality if the subject even rocks around a bit it can be less forgiving, but the 416 will reject more side noise. The 8060 has a higher sensitivity.

question
How well does this work mounted to an FS7? Any suggestions on mounting without using the FS7 standard mic holder.
Depends on your expectations. Any on-camera mic is no substitute for a boom and/or cavalier mic queued to the speaker/talent.
