Why spend $50 or more for a shock mount? You can make them in a couple of hours or less for under $5 in parts.

First thing you need is rings to fit around your mic. Could be a circle cut from plastic drain pipe, but I chose a computer fan guard. Snip some rings out of them, connect together with 2.5” long pieces of #8-32 threaded rod, snap some fat rubber bands onto them, and VOILA!

First model, for mics with a screw-on mounting base like a lot of large studio condensers.

Yes, it still holds the heavy mic if one of the

rubber bands breaks. The stand attachment

comes from the original hard mount.
