Rycote InVision INV-HG mkIII Microphone Suspension, Lyre Shockmount

I tested this shock-mount against a few others I saw recommended in various forums for my new Microtech Gefell M930Ts. The M930 family are a bit of an odd pairing for this mount, with the benefit being that it maintains the small profile of the mic. It fits securely and seems like it would do the job; unfortunately, it tested the worst of the lot for my mic. This probably performs wonderfully for SDCs and shotguns, but it actually performed worse than the solid factory mount for this mic. The others I tested included the USM-L, which worked great but added too much in size and the Shure A53M which performed the best and was also the smallest and lowest in price, with the added bonus of being able to fit the custom Hakan filter meant for Gefell's EH93 mount, which is very similar to the Shure mount, but costs an extra 200 dollars. I'm still a big fan of Rycote, hence the 4 stars, it just didn't handle the job this time around.

Well price and nicely made, but after only a few months of use the angle screw stopped tightening. I replaced with a beefier knob and all is well.
