The most versatile
z_audio 12.09.2021
I use it with my MKH-416 and Sanken CSR-2 sometimes, but it fits almost all shotguns (I didn't ever seen any shotgun which can't be used with this mount).

Any word said about this mount is less, then it actually does. This is the most versatile, durable, lightweight, silent and convenient pistol mount I ever hold in my hands last 12 years I do my job. I know only one exception of use this mount - it is strong wind, more than 5 m/s, when Softie windshield cant help you.

Only Rycote products can do the Thing that will make you forget about unexpected noises and concentrate on sound you record.

You can use it with stock light windscreen or with Classic Softie, with or without boompole, with or without plug-on and so on... You can unscrew the handle and mount the mic holder wherever you want.

Study, perfect for field recording.
Aaron Ireland 13.09.2014
Not much you can really say about this other than the obvious; allows you to very easily hold a microphone without handling noise, provides some shock absorbing qualities, and also has a nice gap for a microphone cable to pass through the handle as opposed to being loose and possible causing mic hits. It also looks pretty cool.. It works perfectly with the ME66 by Sennheiser, and would also no doubt fit other similar models like the 416 etc. it also has a screw bottom at the bottom of the handle to screw onto a tripod or boom poll. Very versatile product.

A good multitool
Sziklafy 23.02.2021
a "should be a must have for sound related work" . It is not just a handheld mount with the shock-absorbing springs: it also has a borehole on the bottom of it,so you can directly mount it on an actual mic stand without the need of the regular clamp/holder. But the handheld handle has a nice ergonomic grip to it,with rubber. I honestly can't complain about the design so far.

Amazing
miguelmmc 25.05.2021
A great mount, you can remove the grip if you want, and just use the top part.

The only draw back that I can see is that the cable routing need a thinner cable to fit properly, however it does'nt bother me that much

Even tho you should use smaller mic, I can still fit a shotgun and use it without problems

Nicer than expected
thebluehotel 18.06.2022
I thought it might be overpriced since it's most plastic and rubber, but there are tons of little details that indicate how thoughtfully designed it is. The cable wiring and threaded metal rod at the bottom make it part of a boom system as much as a handheld one. Just be sure of the size of your microphone, and make sure you have the correct size screw or insert to attach to whatever your setup will be (mine will oddly be on a camera tripod).

Just excellent.
almeriastrings 31.10.2022
Very well-made grip. Folds conveniently and does not sag even with long shotgun mics or front-heavy stereo mics such as the Audio Technica BP 4025 or AT 8022. My last Rycote softie mount lasted over 20 years... this one may outlast me!

You can't go wrong with Rycote product.
voiceguy1974 12.06.2017
I bought it for my Sennheiser MKH 416 and I have to say that I am very happy with the quality. Suspension is good and although it reduces some handling noise, do not expect it to work wonders. All in all... At's a well made, quality product.

I like the softness of holding the mic and when it windy outside, it smoothly balances that slow movements! Good quality!

I use it with the sennheiser make 600
iml1 25.03.2024
It does what is needed, so you pay for what you need. It's comfortable to the hand and when tidy doesn't take much room. The only slight issue its the way it clamps to the microphone its a slightly hard to open it and close (to put and remove the mic), however it clamps perfectly the mic. The mic will not fall.
