Shock Mounts
for Slip-on Windshields
Rycote has designed the INV-6 HEAVY and INV-7HG MKIII shock mounts for use with slip-on windshields. Ideal for use with Super-Softie, Classic-Softie and BBG Windshield models, these robust shock mounts provide excellent isolation for boom pole and stand mounting applications.
The INV-7HG MKIII is one of our most popular InVision Broadcast & Film shock mounts. Suitable for 19-34mm diameter mics, the incorporated Duo-Lyre shock mount has a special ‘soft’ grip moulded into the clip. This securely holds the microphone, preventing any slippage or twisting and providing the necessary stability for slip-on windshields and front-heavy microphones.
