RODE SM-3-R Suspension Shock Mount

The SM3 is a suspension shock mount with camera shoe adaptor for mounting various RØDE microphones onto a camera via the standard hot/cold shoe mount.

The SM3 is a suspension shock mount with camera shoe adaptor for mounting various RØDE microphones onto a camera via the standard hot/cold shoe mount. This allows you to connect your RØDE Microphone to a number of video and DSLR cameras on the market while giving your camera maximum isolation from any handling vibrations. Please note that an adaptor may be required for some cameras with proprietary mounts. 

Shock mount/stand adapter for rod-shaped microphones with outside diameters from 19 to 21 mm (0.7 to 0.8 in.), e.g., AKG Blue Line, ULS Series, or C 568 B.

Universal shock mount for all microphones with shaft diameters from 19 to 26 mm (0.75 to 1 in.), e.g. C 414 B-XLS und C 414 B-XL II.

For the new C 414 B-XLS and C 414 B-XL II microphones, AKG designed a new shock mount that differs from the familiar H 100 as follows:

• The outside ring has been reduced in diameter from 120 mm (4.7 in.) to 100 mm (4 in.).
• The color has been changed from black to dark gray.
• The clamping range has been increased from 22 - 26 mm (0.87 - 1.02 in.) to 19 - 26 mm (0.7 - 1.02 in.) to accommodate microphones with cylindrical or conical bodies or connectors including, e.g., the AKG Blue Line and ULS Series.

The H 85 shock mount keeps a lower profile than the H 100 and therefore looks better on the microphone.

The H 85 also matches several other AKG studio microphones, e.g., the C 2000 B, C 3000 B, and C 4000 B.

At present, the only microphones including an H 85 shock mount as a standard accessory are the C 414 B-XLS and C 414 B-XL II.

The SM3 is a shock mount designed to significantly reduce vibration transmission to all shotgun microphones. Perfect for the RØDE NTG series.
Features a 4-way rubber suspension system with quick release tilt mechanism to aid directional positioning and avoid visual intrusion.
A three way mounting system with 1/4”x 20 and 3/8" 16 internal threads for Boom Pole or Tripod mounting and a standard hot shoe adaptor for direct camera mounting.
