View Full Version : Something to hold a shotgun mic in place Richard Darge January 19th, 2005, 02:20 AM Is there a product out there that will slip into the hot shoe of my gl2 to just hold a shotgun microphone? thanks Ken Tanaka January 19th, 2005, 02:48 AM There sure is, Richard. Lightwave Systems' MiniMount (http://www.lightwavesystems.com/products/minimount/default.htm) is probably the best. To use with the GL2 you would likely also need their Universal Shoe Carriage (http://www.lightwavesystems.com/products/minimount/shoe_carriage.htm). There are others, but this provides excellent isolation from camera handling sounds. Michael Kopp January 19th, 2005, 12:53 PM the lightwave is nice, but was too expensive my my needs. i went with the Beyerdynamic EA86 Camera Shoe Shock Mount. Only $29.99 and it's been working for me for 6 months without issue. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=108256&is=REG Oscar Sanchez January 28th, 2005, 03:00 PM Does anybody know of a mount that can support both the Azden SGM mic and a Varilux Pro light together on top of a GL2? Is this possible? Marco Leavitt January 29th, 2005, 10:17 AM Michael, I don't see any kind of locking ring on the Beyerdynamic. How do you tighten it on to the hotshoe? Andrew Hogan January 30th, 2005, 12:11 AM No it doesn't have a locking ring but seems to work fine. The Audio Technica AT 8415 does have a locking ring but it is more expensive and bigger and heavier and taller. The AT 8415 can adjust the angle of the mic too. I haven't really used the Beyer yet other than trying it on the XM2 but I think it'll be great. And I think it will hold my AT mic better then the AT holder too without it sliding forward outta the holder.
