Pros & Cons
Pros
My experience with these shock mounts confirms the good reviews they have on the web. Used recently at the world famous icehouse in a crowded room. My only concern is durability.
The movo smm5 noticeably reduces handling (aka mechanically transferred) noise. The best part is that my zoom recorder didn't pick up any extraneous noises when recording through physical movement. The shock mount itself feels a little delicate, but p... Read More
Cons
The mount is not strong enough to hold a zoom h6/h8 even though they're listed as compatible devices. The mounting screw for the recorder is standard 1/4-20 (standard for camera gear) i simply can't mount it on my nikon z6 ii.
I like how easy it was to use, but disliked its usefulness. Its moderately priced. Do not recommend.
The mount is very weak. It just flops about and is not functional for my setup. Using it strapped on to my camera in hand or on my shoulder rig, every step i take it wobbles up and down.
Highlights
Quality
This was my first movo purchase and i will say im very pleased with the quality
I was very impressed by the quality of this product
Could have been better with the material and design

Competitiveness
They work well with my pair of takstar sgc 600 mics mounted on a boom whose own shock mounts are pitiful
This allows me more versitility with my video rig
Its also better for your cameras hotshoe

Could hear the vibration postproduction which is so disappointing

When purchasing the zoom h1n recorder i had a choice of choosing a rigid onepiece mount for my digital camera or this movo smm5b
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I chose the latter because i wanted the flexibility of being able to position the recorder forward or backward relative to the camera

If i hooked it up directly to the shoe it would make some bumping noises
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I bought this because it claims to work with not only the zoom h1n but the zoom h6
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
While it technically 34fits34 the h6 this shock mount does not handle the weight of the h6 well at all
