RØDE SM3-R Camera Shoe Shockmount - Black

The SM3-R is compatible with a range of RØDE microphones, including the M5, NT5, NT55, NTG1, NTG2, NTG3, NTG4, and NTG4+. It's always best to check the RØDE website for the most up-to-date compatibility list.

Rycote Lyre mounts are made from a durable thermoplastic material that is resistant to degradation from UV light, temperature changes, and wear. Unlike elastic bands, they do not stretch or become brittle over time, offering a more reliable and longer-lasting suspension solution.

While the SM3-R is optimized for RØDE microphones, if another microphone has a compatible thread size and can be securely held by the mounting points without damaging the microphone, it might be possible. However, RØDE does not guarantee compatibility or performance with third-party microphones.

The SM3-R features a standard 3/8" connecting thread for attaching microphones.

The RØDE SM3-R weighs only 54 grams, making it a lightweight addition to your camera setup.

The SM3-R is primarily designed for camera shoe mounting. While it has a 3/8" thread, its form factor is optimized for on-camera use. For boom poles or stands, RØDE offers other shock mount solutions like the SM2 or SM4-R.

Ensure the microphone is properly seated in one of the four mounting points and that any locking mechanisms on the mount are engaged.

Verify that the SM3-R is securely attached to the camera's shoe mount and that the Rycote Lyre mounts are intact. Ensure no direct contact is made between the microphone and the mount structure.

Adjust the cable position within the clip or ensure the cable is not excessively thick for the clip's design. The clip is intended for gentle management, not high tension.
