SMM5-B Universal Microphone and Portable Recorder Shock Mount - Fits the Zoom H1n, H2n, H4n, H5, H6, Tascam DR-40x, DR-05x, DR-07x and others with a 1/4" Mounting Screw (Black)

When purchasing the Zoom H1n recorder, I had a choice of choosing a rigid one-piece mount for my digital camera or this Movo SMM5-B. I chose the latter because I wanted the flexibility of being able to position the recorder forward or backward relative to the camera. It certainly allowed for that. The slight springiness of this mount was slightly disconcerting when I mounted it to my camera but it is supposed to do that in order to reduce physical shock. It's also better for your camera's hotshoe. The best part is that my Zoom recorder didn't pick up any extraneous noises when recording through physical movement. So....5 stars!

I use this for my tascam 05x and didn't expect much from it, but it's built very well and the quality feels great. It wound up cancelling a lot of vibrations that the recorder would constantly pick up. 10/10 recommendation for vibration interruptions! Works on a number of different mounts too which is very handy.

This is an amazing price. However, it's not for larger recorders. When I install my H5 Studio on this, it does not support it and it flops over to the side. Would be great for the H1 or lightweight mics. I'll probably just keep it instead of returning it because it's so inexpensive. I'm sure I'll find a use for it, just not under my H5 Studio.

I used the Movo SMM5-B shock mount with my portable recorder for a few field recordings and interviews, and it did a good job reducing handling noise and improving overall audio quality.

I have a GoPro on top of my Camera! and this shock rocks!. Very rigid for that camera weight.

This gizmo ONLY mounts to a camera hot/cold shoe without a reducer. It will not mount on a 1/4" tripod fixture as advertised.

Yes works as expected. Thank you.

This thing is perfect for the Zoom H3-VR. This particular Zoom unit makes incredible stereo and ambisonic audio (if you're willing to sync in post) but is pretty darn sensitive to handling noise. This Move shock mount fixes the transmitted noise problem providing excellent isolation for any reasonable amount of movement. It also helps to move the mic high enough above the viewfinder on my Fujifilm XT-30 that I can get my head in there. With the mount, the conical Zoom and a dead cat windscreen, it's a pretty comical looking rig but that is completely beside the point. I can finally do on-camera (or on tripod or handgrip) recording using the fantastic audio qualities of the H3-VR with excellent shock and vibration isolation. And for short money to boot.

Werkt goed. Ik gebruikt hem onder een zoom h6. Werkt beter dan de shockmount van rycote die speciaal voor handheld fieldrecorders gemaakt is.

Great suspension for most hand-held audio recorders with 1/4" threaded socket. Good on a tripod, stand or pistol-grip.

This mount is a good match to flat base hand-held recorders with standard quarter inch mounting sockets such as the Zoom H series or the Tascams. The large supporting plate and screw fitting gives a much more secure and compact attachment than the more common "cat's cradle" designs, and this inspires confidence for field use. When fitted to the hotshoe on a camcorder, the raised shape of the mount means it doesn't interfere with operation of the rear controls. But is it effective? When testing it using a sound recorder fitted to tripod stand and inflicting some fairly hefty bumps and drags onto the stand, I found this mount was reducing the noise of the shock events by around 20db. In the same tests, the cat's cradle shockmount was achieving around 22db reduction, so the cats cradle is just slightly better than this mount at the loud end of the range but both designs are very effective when considering more realistic shocks. If you have used the Zoom H1 range, you will know that they are very susceptible to even light handling noise. Using this mount on a short pole completely eliminates that problem and greatly improves the handheld recording quality. This shock mount is well made, more practical than the traditional shock mounts, quick to set up, inexpensive, and highly effective. For me it has instantly become a must-have accessory for the H1 range. Highly recommented.

Pratique mais un peu rigide

Die Halterung dämpft effektiv Geräusche, wenn man z.B. das Stativ oder die Kamera anfasst. Dazu macht sie einen hochwertigen Eindruck und ist universell montierbar.
