Shotgun Rubbing French Flag - help

[earon_k]

Hi folks,
I recently bought a Cavision 4x5 matte box for my DVX100 (and the clip-on side flags keep falling off).

However, my shotgun mic (AT895) is resting on the french flag and picking up unwanted noise and vibration.

Is there anything I can do or purchase to raise the shotgun mic holder or is there another attachment i could buy to raise the mic.

thanks,
earon,

There are screw holes on the underside of the flag, screw in two 3/8 screws to attach it to the matte box.

I like the K-Tek DV Mounts:

i like the audio tech. at8415, you have multiple sets of holes to raise/lower the mic height.

i need to get a second shotgun mount and i've looked all over and the at8415 seems to still be the best choice, it keeps the mic very steady and super isolated.

b&h has a nice mod where it uses k-tech rubber bands to make it hold the mic a lot more stiffly.
