Shotgun Mic Solution

So I recently purchased a FS700 without the original shotgun mic w/ shoe mount attachment. Does anyone know where I can order it? Tried searching everywhere online and no solution.

I really like the original shotgun mic setup (swivel mount) however if I can't find one. what other shotgun mic setups do you recommend for the fs700?

Thanks!

Do you need only the mic or the mount too?
I was searching for a mic at the fs7 too and decided for the Sony ECM-673 It's short, affordable and quite similar to the standard FS700 mic. I would buy it again
 
Clermond, I need both the mic and the mount. Right now finding the mount is nearly impossible. I might have to call sony and see if they have it in stock for a decent price otherwise it looks like I'm going aftermarket. Thanks, I will look into that mic. Short, and swivel mount is key for the setup I want.
 
Let us know if you find it. I bought a used FS700 with the mic but no mount. Luckily the mic fits perfectly in my Rycote Lyre shockmount, it's just a little bulkier than I'd like.
 
Just throwing this out there as well...the fs700 shotgun mic has a standard 15mm rod. I quite often favour just sticking the mic straight into a 15mm rail block rather than the original mount, although i use a different top handle on my fs700 which makes this easier.

However, something like this (or similar) would slot right into the coldshoe on the fs700 handle: http://www.coollcd.com/smallrig-rod-clamp-with-hot-shoe-mount-1597_p1597.html

edit-> Weird, I cannot hot link that coollcd page for some reason :\

basically something similar to these 2 pieces:
