The Rycote INV-Lite 19 Boom Shockmount for Short Shotgun Micsis a discreet, low-profile shockmount which isolates short shotgun microphones (19mm in diameter) from shock and handling noises, when they are used mounted on a boompole. It is optimized for interior broadcast and film applications where boom use with full basket windshielding is not required.

Elegant, ergonomic, and well-balanced, the lightweight (at 3.9 oz) INV-Lite 19 features the company's patented cam-lever clamp with wide Lyre suspension system. Its unique design provides fast access to the microphone and ensures that the cancellation slots remain free from obstruction, improving sound quality and directionality. It also allows for full placement of a 12cm foam windshield (available separately), to protect against plosives and light boom swings.

Q: 1. Does this shock mount include a shoe adapter so that I can mount my mic on top of my DSLR?

A: Hi Daniel. Thanks for getting in touch with your question. The product is not currently supplied with a hot shoe adapter at this time: this will need to be purchased separately. Please see product information here: a href= http://mymic.rycote.com/products/hot-shoe-3_8adaptor/ target= _blank http://mymic.rycote.com/products/hot-shoe-3_8adaptor/./a

Q: 2. will this work with mkh 416 mic?

A: The INV-Lite 19 will fit the 19mm diameter of the MKH 416, but it is designed for use with short shotgun microphones like the 8060, 8050, 8040 or 8020 which are between 75 to 178mm (2.95 to 7.01") long. The MKH 416 is 249.9mm (9.84") long. For a similar style shockmount, consider the Rycote INV-7 InVision Microphone Suspension for Stand and Boompole Mounting (B&H # RYINV7) which is designed for use with shotgun mics that are 120mm (4.72") and longer or the Rycote Universal Shotgun Mount for Cameras and Boompoles (B&H # RYUSGM) which is a universal model.

Q: 4. which one of these Rycote shock mounts are best for Sennheiser MKH 50?

A: You can use the Rycote INV-7 InVision Microphone Suspension for Stand and Boompole Mounting (B&H # RYINV7) or Rycote InVision INV-HG mkIII Microphone Suspension - Lyre Shockmount (B&H # RYINVHGMKIII) with the Sennheiser MKH 50. The MKH 50 is 150mm long and the INV-6 accommodates mics that are less than 120mm long, so the INV-6 won't work. The INV-7 is for mics that are longer than 120mm and the INV-HG is also suitable for the MKH 50.

Q: 9. Will this work with a KM185 and a BBG?

A: It might be a little stiff for that short Neumann. This mount is intended for heavier/longer mic/windscreen units. I use it for a MKH-416 with super softie on the end of a boom pole. Excellent isolation. You might want to consider one of the INV series mounts from Rycote. I use the InVision INV-HG mkIII Microphone Suspension - Lyre Shockmount for the length & weight of your Neumann.
