The 309A from Electro-Voice is a professional-quality suspension shock mount. The mount is constructed from metal and has a swiveling basket for precise mic positioning. The mount is designed to support the RE20, RE27N/D and RE320 microphones. Because these mics have internal shock mounts as well, the 309A provides an additional level of protection against unwanted vibrations.

Electro-Voice 309A Reviews
Poor Durability
This shock mount seems like the standard option for folks who buy a RE20. Makes sense - they're designed to work together. Before buying this, though, I'd urge you to take a look at how much the rubber replacement bands cost - they're about nine bucks apiece and you will need to replace them every year or so. I went to third party bands made out of a different rubbery material that did indeed have better durability but those, too broke after about 18 months. I ended up simply getting a different shock mount for my RE20 after that. The 309A is otherwise fine. It's a little unwieldy and large but it gets the job done.
The best way to mount your RE20 for working with clients
These are not cheap but make it a lot easier to comfortably position this mic in front of a client from a boom.
