The Radius RAD-2 is 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 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-firm (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.

The RAD Handle Grip is designed to attach to the RAD-2. It has a 3/8" threaded bottom, so it can fit on boom poles, stands, or used with a quick-connect attachment. The handle has a rubber coated embedded XLR holder with a rubber safety strap to keep the XLR socket securely fitted inside.
All of the components of the RAD-1, RAD-2, and RAD-3 shockmounts are produced using virtually indestructible thermoplastic elastomers from high-precision injection molding in an ISO-9000 certified factory (no 3D printing ).
Each of the parts for all versions of the mounts are interchangeable for use. Spare parts are also available to add individual components to your mount as needed.
The RAD shockmounts are made in England.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. If using as a boom mic, is there a suggested receiver to pair it with?
A: If attempting to use this mic as a wireless shotgun, you would need wireless system with a plug on transmitter that provides phantom power to power the mic. Here's a recommendation, BH #SOUWPD2614.
Q: 2. Will this support an Amaran 200x with an Aputure light box 30120?
A: The Impact Combo Boom Stand (12.95') BH #IMLSCB6 will not support a 200x on the boom.
Q: 3. What is the screw thread on the end of the arm? I have a Lume Cube Panel and I want to be able to screw that on if I need only a small off-camera light. Will I need an adapter?
A: The stud on the end of the Combo Boom Stand has a 1/4" thread on one side and 3/8" on the other. The 1/4" side fits the bottom of the LumeCube panels.
Q: 4. Will a sand bag help increase the weight limit? If not what's my next best option for approximately the same price?
A: The sand bag will help with keeping the stand balanced and from tipping over, but it will not increase the structural support. That being said, I chose this stand over the Manfrotto of the same design because the boom angle adjuster is significantly stronger.
Q: 5. Are there replacement shock mounts for this if one breaks?
A: Yes, Rode does sell replacement parts and they do have a replacement for the shock mount on the PG2-R. The part is not available to purchase through retailers, so you will need to contact Rode directly in order to get a replacement. You can reach customer support at Rode by phone at 562-364-7400. Their US office is based in California.
Q: 6. Does that Rycote shock mount have a boom pole mount under the handle?

Q: 7. Will this work with the yeti nano?
A: Blue has not listed the Radius III Shockmount as compatible with the Yeti Nano.
Q: 8. Will this support an AD600 with 42 inch octabox (approx. 10lbs) when the boom is extended 3-4 feet?
A: The boom when extended is rated for about 6.5lbs.
Q: 9. 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: 10. Does the crescent section for adjusting the angle have ridges or is it smooth?
A: The following unit offers a brake pad that has ridges for extra support.
