The DSLR revolution changed the nature of on-camera mics forever. Before more advanced rigging options for cameras were available a simple cold-shoe mount was an effective option for mounting. However today there are numerous factors that often mitigate that option from top handles on-camera monitors EVFs etc.
The Kondor Blue Mic Shock Mount with a NATO rail offers numerous new options for mounting for both on-camera use as well as for boom operation. The rail opens up many possibilities including the use of the Kondor Blue anti-twist NATO clamp or our NATO rail clamp to ball head for Magic Arms. Additionally there is an ARRI mount 2x ? 20s (3 when using the included ??? to ? bushing).
The O-ring suspension provides the greatest range of flexibility for mic size as well as the most isolation and dampening. The O-rings are secured in place with no fear of them popping off the holder. And in a worst-case scenario 2x extra O-rings are included in the mic shock mount kit.
As audio is a crucial part of the production process users have extreme preferences for procurement. As such we’ve made the mic ring M3 mounting slot compatible with popular Rycote mounting specifications making them easy to swap out if desired.
All-in-all the Kondor Blue NATO Mic Shock Mount is set out-of-box with loads of features for a range of applications. We’re pumped to bring a premium offering that we feel has been missing from the audio landscape.
