I bought this shoe mount for my MKH-70 mic but the mounting has no lock. That means the mic could potentially just fall off. Is there an adapter that would have a lock? Or perhaps another alternative? Thanks!

In the photos, it appears to have a 'jam nut' system for hot shoe locking, and states " hot shoe adapter" but I'm seeing four separate items (and four separate prices), Shock Mount; Shock Mount Shoe; Shock Mount Grip and Shock Mount Shoe Grip. it's unclear what's actually included.. I would also be skeptical of the quality. Not to mention, the MKH70 is longer (16 inches) than the 'short shotgun' mics specified, which could throw off the balance point, and isolation properties.
Get a mount designed for the MKH70's dimensions. I would also recommend the Rycote Invision hot shoe mount.

I have a couple of adaptors very much like that.
The lower ring screws down to tighten against the shoe.
