MID49 has announced a new Microphone Shock Mount (Sideways 15mm Rod) that looks like a nice option if you are looking to mount a microphone on your camera rig.
Mounting an on-board microphone on your camera can be tricky and there are lots of different weighs of doing it. MID49’s solution looks to be a good one if your camera has the ability to run a sideways 15mm rod.
The Microphone Shock Mount was made in collaboration with Radius Windshields, and it mounts to a top 15mm rod like that found on Sony Burano and other similar cameras.
The only thing you do need to be conscious of when using a mic mount on a front mounted 15mm rod that is also being used for a monitor or EVF is that if you adjust or move that rod then the microphone mount is also going to move.
The suspension is claimed to provide exceptional isolation from movement, handling noise, and other vibrations.
MID49 recommends that it is suitable for use with short shotgun, omni, cardioid, and super-cardioid pencil mics with a diameter of 19-25mm, up to 150mm in length.
Product Weight: 2oz (57g)

The MID49 Microphone Shock Mount (Sideways 15mm Rod) is now available for $147 USD.
