I'm going to be purchasing both a Schoeps CMIT5U (ext) and CMC641 (int)...

While I don't mind spending money, I would rather have 1 shockmount that fits both mics.

so I need recommendations for:

1. A boompole, 12-14 feet
2. shockmount that will work with both
3. windscreen.

I believe that's it...
Thanks!
 
If you're looking for just 1 mount for
interiors without a zep, and exteriors inside of a zep.. that fits both.
I'd personally probably go for the K-Tek Zep that come with the k-tek general purpose mount.

Personally for interiors I use orange band PSC mounts for my mk41's.
Seems to work the best for me for reducing handling noise.

The mk41's are a tricky mic in that regard. Lots of rumble.

If you're going with both schoeps you're more than likely going to be pulling out the cmit on exteriors
So i would go with a zep for that..and an interior mount for the mk41.
That way you can also use both mic's at the same time when needed. (if you have 2 poles of course)

Poles are matter of personal pref.
I have both vdb's and kteks
The vdb 12' internal coiled cable is my goto for 90% of my work.
I like that its lighter than the kteks.

Ambient and Loon are also good poles.
 
I've been using a Gitzo 13' carbon fiber boom with a KTek KSSM shock mount, Rycote Baby Ball Gag and Windjammer. Been working very well for me.
 
If money is no object go for the loonaudio.com Loon Boom. I just got the 16 footer with internal coiled cable and wing (xlr mount that allows wireless transmitter if you want), and it is a pole of beauty. So smooth, and its designed with different ratios of carbon so as it reaches its full length it'll stay straighter than any other pole I've seen. Its nice and thick for great grip. They also use a proprietary cable making process that makes the rubber produce much less noise and the windings are of course top notch. Everything is very nicely machined and maintenance is a breeze. It even comes with an extra mounting screw if something happens or you even want to leave it attached to another mount for more rapid mic mount switchovers. Did I mention its tightening and extending is smoother than butter and much healthier! Retail is $895 for the one I got.

For Zep, I use the Rode Blimp and have to say its very nice for the price and DVestore.com will hook you up.
