Best With mounting Screw: Knox Shockmount Snowball

The main purpose of a shock mount, is to provide the microphone it holds a barrier between the mic and vibrations created mechanically. It does a good job minimizing noise into the mic. This mount provides a solid hold, much the same as screwing the mic directly into a boom. The outer ring that supports the shock bands, and the screw hinge that attaches to your microphone stand/arm is all metal and very tough.

The shock mount looks great and has a metal outer ring. It makes the mic sound much better with no unwanted noises. It provides an improved sound input/output quality over the original in-place mic stand.

Best With No additional Adapter: Auphonix Shock Mount

Buy on Amazon

At 5.5" x 3.5" and 7 oz., this portable microphone holder and shock mount is the perfect size for recording professional quality audio anywhere you go. It feels pretty well made and sturdy. The auphonix pro has a nice wide spade-head bolt on the end of the mount allowing you to use it in whatever orientation suits your set up.

This shock mount is very sturdy and isolates the Blue Yeti microphone from vibrations. It can only mount facing mic sideways. There are parts of the mounting bracket that you have to strategize cable placement with, not a major downfall, but it limits angles that you can turn your boom and mic direction. It has a 5/8" mount hole so it will fit. The metal parts are a great upgrade from previous models.

Sturdy well made shock mount for blue yeti
Mounted easily to both the mic and the arm
Not only looks great but has an awesome high quality metal feel
Very sturdy, and isolates the blue yeti from vibrations

Best For podcasting: Boseen elastic band

Buy on Amazon

The boseen elastic band is the best convenient mount on the market today. The Swivel Head adapter is a total game changer if you aren’t limited to the straight 90 or 45 degree angels and can articulate mic positions easier. It is suitable for many USB microphones with function knobs, such as fifine, blue yeti/snowball, and razer. It has an adapter to fit any standard size condenser microphone with function knobs, such as fifine, blue yeti/snowball, or razer. It is sturdy and easy to mount and the rings are great because you can spin the mic in the directions you want and just tighten rather than struggling with a jaw grip type rubber mount.

It comes with an extra elastic band and looks very professional. It is also stable, it stays horizontal or at a downward angle, but if you try to put it at an upward angle it won't stay.

Why We Like This:

Comes with different screw mounts for different microphones
Works great for large condenser mics
Very sturdy and even came with replacement bands
Has several sizes to fit most mics and attach to mount

Best For camera: Boseen Shockmount Snowball

Buy on Amazon

Boseen is known for creating pragmatic and minimalist mount for people on the go, and its line of boseen shockmount snowball definitely falls in line with that reputation. This shock mount works well, holds the yeti microphone with no problems. It is made of aluminum, so it is lightweight and easy to transport. The part that connects the shock ring to the stand is plastic, with metal connectors embedded to connect to the stand. It can suspend from the boom arm at any angle. The elastic is so tight that it really doesn't prevent any noise, maybe a 20% reduction. It is great for improving sound quality.

It works great, just a marginally less than perfect fit. The material quality is also impressive.
