The Radius RAD-2 Microphone Shockmount for Boompoles Dark Editionis a microphone shockmount suitable primarily for outdoor booming or indoor, when using the mic by itself or with a slip-on fur windshield on it. Designed to hold standard-length shotgun and small-diaphragm pencil microphones (19-25mm in diameter, up to 250mm in length), this suspension provides exceptional isolation from movement, handling noise, and other vibrations associated with booming.

The RAD-2 (Dark Edition) features two soft-coated universal mic clips (dark gray). To achieve the best isolation for your style of booming, three pairs of interchangeable RAD-2 hoops are included: standard firmness (black), soft firmness (dark gray), and extra-fim (dark blue). The RAD-2 hoops are slightly thicker than RAD-1 hoops and have an extra 3mm of bracing on top to hold the extra weight of front-heavy microphones.

The base of the shockmount comes with a 360° rotatable XLR holder to further isolate the mic from cable noise. There is a 3/8"-16 thread at the bottom to mount the RAD-2 on boompoles, stands, or with quick-connect attachments.

Note: XLR jumper cable is not included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this fit the Yeti X (not the nano, regular, or pro); the X has its mic-thread hole in the middle of the base (rather than the regular and pro which both cheat the hole towards the back side of the bottom of the mic)?

A: According to Blue, the Radius III shock mount is compatible with virtually any microphone or mic clip that has a standard thread mount. Therefore, it would be support the Nano X .Blue Yeti X USB Microphone (Dark Gray), BH #BLYXUSBM.

Q: 2. Will this fit an MXL BCD-1?

A: I'm not sure that it will because the MXL-BCD-1 doesn't have a threaded end where the XLR cable plugs in. The way the mic is held into this mount is using a threaded washer. If you look at the Rode Procaster Mic (ROPROCASTER), you can see how there is a treaded washer at the end where you would mount into the shockmount. The BCD-1 has that additional bracket that almost replaces the need for a shockmount. Not sure this is the right product for the mic you have.

Q: 3. Will this work with a Zoom H1N?

A: This mount is made for microphones, not recorders. I would use something more like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1500941-REG/movo_photo_smm5_b_universal_microphone_and_portable.html

Q: 4. Can I use it with the Rode Video Micro?

A: Unfortunately or fortunately not. That is made for a MKE 600 a full size shotgun. Also it won't be any better than what the Micro comes with. The Micro comes in a good lyre shock mount that is made just for that mic. Just use the mic as is. It's a great little mic and Rode made sure it has a quality shock mount.

Q: 5. Will this work with the yeti nano?

A: Blue has not listed the Radius III Shockmount as compatible with the Yeti Nano.

Q: 6. Can I attach this to Impact Combo Boom Stand B&H #IMLSCB6 ? Or would a different kind of mount be better for a boom pole?

A: Yes you can screw the MZS 600 Shockmount onto the 1/4 20 side of the spigot included on the end of the boom of the IMLSCB6 Impact stand to the bottom of the MZS 600 Shockmount and then insert both into the stand, tightening the knob on the stand to secure the spigot to the stand..

Q: 7. Does anyone know the name of the replacement elastic bands? Or the size of the elastic bands? Thank you for your help!

A: While we don't sell the replacement bands separately, we do recommend either reaching out to the manufacturer at smallrig@smallrig.com, or looking to purchase a new mount, such as B&H # AUDUSM1.

Q: 8. Will this work with the Rode VideoMicro?

A: The Rode VideoMicro should fit inside the SmallRig 1859 shockmount when used without the windshield.

Q: 9. Will the radius iii work with rode psa1 boom arm without an extra adapter?

A: No, you will not need additional adapters. Sometimes the manufacturer will send shock mounts with a little insert in the thread. That is to take 5/8" down to 3/8" for boom poles. If it's in there, just use a dime as a tool to back it out, otherwise you're all set.
