This shock mount is definitely one of the most secure I've ever worked with. It's somewhat a pain to get my AT835b snugged in. But other than that, it absorbs about 80% of the shock.

Used with EV RE-27ND Mic

I chose this as a cheaper alternative to the awkwardly cagey and expensive ($100) shock mount made for ElectroVoice RE-20 style mics. The main frame is not much larger than the mic circumference, so getting the mic in place - especially with the stiff rubber bands (which provide the anti-shock) is quite a challenge. It was a good 15 minute struggle. Perhaps, using just 1 band at each end would have been sufficient (and more effective) for an RE 27. I'm not sure how much anti-shock such a tight fit provides. A slightly looser fit might absorb more knocks and jolts - and do a better job of keeping those from disturbing a live mic. I plan to try that - one day! On the plus side, the compactness of this shock mount makes it possible to use my RE27 on a typical floor stand with a VoxGuard (sound absorption panel) mounted directly behind my mic - on the same stand - something that would have been wholly impossible with the EV shock mount.
