My AT 4703A came with an Azden shock mount:

Not knowing this when I ordered, I also ordered an Audio Technica shock mount:

Question:

Is the Azden fine and dandy, is the Audio Technica much better, or is there even a third option I should consider? Nice thing about the Azden is it fits in the mic case with the 4703A whereas the Audio Technica one does not.
 
Looks like the azden is for on-camera shoe while AT is for boom. Maybe keep 'em both for each use. But, if you want only one, the AT can probably get an adapter to fit on-camera whereas the Azden can't (or probably shouldn't) be adapted to use on a pole. That said, I was considering buying that same AT model - if you don't want it offer me a price.:)
 
Actually, the camera mount on the Azden unscrews revealing a standard boom mount. I also have the camera mount for the Audio Technica, so both will do camera or boom. I can return the Audio Technica with adapter for $65 if I don't need them.
