Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig 1993B is an essential accessory for run-and-gun videographers and content creators who need a secure, vibration-dampening solution for shotgun microphones. Designed to accommodate microphones with diameters between 19mm and 25mm, this aluminum mount provides professional stability and audio clarity by isolating your mic from handling noises, though users should ensure their rig utilizes 15mm rod systems for mounting compatibility.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this fit a Rode NTG series microphone?

Yes, as long as the specific model has a diameter between 19mm and 25mm, it will fit securely.

Does this mount require tools for adjustment?

The microphone clamp is adjusted via a manual knob, while the 15mm rod clamp is typically tightened by hand, though a hex tool may be used for a tighter fit.

Can I mount this on a standard camera hot shoe?

No, this mount is specifically designed for 15mm rod systems. To use it on a hot shoe, you would need a 15mm rod adapter.

What is the weight of the mount?

The mount weighs approximately 73 grams.

Is the material weather-resistant?

The aluminum construction is durable, but the internal elastic components should be kept dry to prevent degradation over time.

Troubleshooting

Microphone is sliding inside the clamp

Tighten the adjustment knob slightly; if the mic is at the lower end of the 19mm limit, ensure the rubberized interior is clean and free of oils.

Handling noise is still present in audio

Verify that no cables are touching the mount or camera frame, as cables can transmit physical vibrations directly to the mic.

Mount feels loose on the rod

Check the 15mm rod clamp screw; it may require a hex key or further tightening by hand to ensure a rock-solid connection to the rod.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent noise isolation via soft elastic dampening
  • Sturdy aluminum construction
  • Versatile size adjustment for various microphones
  • Seamless integration with 15mm rod-based camera rigs

Cons

  • Requires a 15mm rod system to mount
  • Not compatible with shotgun mics wider than 25mm
  • Fixed orientation may not suit every specific camera cage layout

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your mount, slide the 15mm rod clamp onto your rig's existing 15mm rod system and tighten the integrated screw to secure the base. Once fixed, loosen the adjustment knob on the microphone clamp, insert your shotgun microphone, and tighten the knob until the microphone is held firmly in place. Ensure you do not overtighten, as the dampening material is designed to provide grip through compression. For maintenance, keep the aluminum body clean with a dry cloth and inspect the soft elastic components periodically to ensure they have not degraded or become compressed over long-term use. Avoid exposing the elastic parts to extreme heat or caustic chemicals to prolong their life.
