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.
Asked by: Edvard
Once the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Moisture-Resistant Short Shotgun Microphone is covered with the Rycote Standard Hole Classic Softie Wind-Screen, there is still a few inches on the end of the mic for a shockmount. An alternative to the Auray DUSM-1 listed in this kit would be BH #RYINVONCAMSM Rycote InVision On-Camera Shockmount for Microphones & Cameras:https://bhpho.to/33wOtmB

What's the best model of Rycote shock mount for using this mic on a handheld boom? I don't want the heavy pistol-grip one.
Asked by: Lorenzo
The Rycote InVision INV-HG mkIII Microphone Suspension - Lyre Shockmount, BH #R YINVHGMKIII , would be a good option for a shockmount for the Sennheiser MH 8060 shotgun mic. this shockmount id lightweight and features a lyre- style suspension, and would connect to a boom pole with a 3/8-inch thread.

question

If i want to use shotgun for VO, which is better. MKH416 or MKH8060? Which is more directional and reject side noise?
Asked by: Rama Chandra Se
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.
Asked by: Justin
Depends on your expectations. Any on-camera mic is no substitute for a boom and/or cavalier mic queued to the speaker/talent.
