I purchased Rode NTG-1 from Amazon (which I won't be doing again, long story). I am looking for a shockmount to use on my DVX100b. I am looking at the Rode SM3, but I'm wondering if anyone has any better suggestions that are around that price range (its 49.99).

Thanks.
 
I can only find the kit with the windscreen and some other stuff for 179. on B&H, and I can't seem to find an online store at Rycote's website. Any ideas?

Hey guys

I have been looking at the Rycote kit, and it looks good but I really can't afford it right now. I need a shockmount pretty quick, and this Pearstone DUSM-1 looks pretty good.

It looks pretty horrible to me, I'm afraid.

Actually the Rycote is pretty cheap for what it gives you. I have ditched all my shockmounts and gone over to Rycote for everything - and the Rycote is only 20% of the price of some of the other mounts. Rycote is not only inexpensive, it's also much better and the "Lyre" technology they use is unique and patented and very very hardwearing.
 
Thanks for your advice. I'm new in the field of sound, and I have heard a lot of good things about Rycote. I will just have to wait a week or so before purchasing... I have never heard of Pearstone but it seems to have mostly postive reviews on B&H.

Thanks, I will probably go with the RYcote kit.
