Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hi there. What is the maximum payload this can handle?

A: Rycote does not list a maximum weight the Rycote 041130 mount can support, only a minimum weight of 300g.

Q: 2. Will this mount support a mkh 8060 w/softie lite? not because of the weight but because of the small size of the mic. I will be using it with the XLR adapter.

A: MKH 8060: Dimensions Diameter: 0.75" (19mm) Length (Microphone): 5.7" (145mm) Length (with MZX 8000 Module): 7.0" (178mm)

Q: 3. What is designed mic weight range for this? (The manufacturer's video indicates that different designs serve different applications. Makes sens. So what weight mic can THIS one handle? One reviewer noted his recorder flopped around too much.)

A: For recorders with a weight 300g (.67 lbs) or higher Rycote recommends the Portable Recorder Suspension HD. https://bhpho.to/2lzKviy This will support larger recorders such as the Zoom H6, Marantz PMD661, Roland R26 and other similarly sized recorders.

Q: 4. There has to be a way to attach this to a cold shoe, does anyone know how?

A: Use this adapter: WindTech CM-38 Photo Hot Shoe to 3/8"-16 Male Adapter B&H # WICM38

Q: 5. would this also work with a boom pole?

A: This shock mount is designed specifically to be inserted into a hot shoe of a camera. I would recommend the Rycote Universal Shotgun Mount for Cameras and Boom Poles, B&H # RYUSGM. This model, which features a Duo-Lyre Cradle, is designed for use with a boom pole or to be mounted on a camera.

Q: 6. Will this work for the DPA 4017b?

A: The Rycote Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL for the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Microphone would be far too short for the DPA 4017b. The Rycote Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics (Medium) (BH #RYSSKM) would be recommended instead.

Q: 7. What would be options for windshields that would fit with this and a Sennheiser mkh416? Thanks!

A: The proper windshield to fit a Sennheiser MKH-416 and the Rycote Medium Suspension 68 Duo is a Rycote Windshield #4; B&H# RYWS4. For further wind diffusion, feel free to add the Rycote Windjammer #4; B&H# RYWJ4. Also, these components are available as a kit (B&H# RYWSK4), providing users with some cost savings.

Q: 8. Pertaining to the question regarding whether or not this mount will work with the videomic pro, for those who do use it, is this the best way to go?

A: I use it with a Sennheiser ME 64 with the K6 powering module, AA battery and aRycote Standard Hole Softie Windscreen. I think the my set up weights about the same as the Rode videomic pro. It works great for me! The RycoteLyre Shockmount is the best I've used with a DSLR. I work professionally and highly recommend Rycote shock mounts

Q: 9. What is the difference between this and the HD version (B&H # RYPRSM)?

A: Couple of differences between the standard & HD versions. Firstly the Lyre on the HD are slightly stiffer, and therefore can support recorders of a heavier weight (over 300g or 0.66lbs). Also the adjustment on the tilt of the HD uses a knob, rather than just a screw on the standard - which gives a tad more grip needed for heavier recorders. Hope that helps.

Q: 10. Would this grip and suspension work with the Rycote 21mm BBG as an alternative to the kit included blimp and softie? Would like to use this for it's handling noise features with an AT BP4025 and have the BBG as a smaller footprint option to the blimp.

A: The grip and suspension found within Rycote Modular Windshield Kit WS 3 with XLR-5F and Connbox CB4 would not work with the Rycote BBG Windshield, as the BBG does not accommodate internal suspensions and is designed for covering the head of the microphone only, as opposed to encapsulating the entire microphone.
