Lightweight with good shock isolation
Using with Sennheiser ME66 and 67 shotgun mics. The Rycote rubber mount for the sennheisers supports are at 5cm wide. This Rode has a support placement option at 7cm from each other, so offers better front-back tilt stability. The support size range is for mics 19-22mm diameter. The entire structure is plastic with the base being honeycombed. The screw holes for the shock mounts do have metal inserts. The unit includes a large handled Allen key to attach the mounts. The camera shoe is all plastic and has a standard (3/8"?) threaded mounting hole inside it. The hotshoe attaches to the base with a crosspoint screw so should be replaceable in case of damage.

Lightweight with poor quick release system
1 of 1 found this helpful Too many turns required to change angle of handle.
No side push button to release plate by sliding.
The only way of releasing plate is to unscrew a small, fairly flimsy, side screw (with small thread) then lean it back. This allows you to lift the plate straight up.
There are other much better ways of creating a vertical release head. Smallrig is probably the best one.
