The 5 Best shockmounts For camera (2023 reviews)

Rode has been making good-quality mount for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and high-end materials. If you want to capture the feel of a crowd / party, the built-in surround mic in the camcorder is a better option. It protects from picking up sounds from bumps or shaking from the camera. It plugs directly in to the audio jack, which helps keep the mic attached to the camera. It is good for a crowd that's talking or several people talking standing close to the camera.

The input cable is quite durable compared to other mics, it runs on a simple nine volt and has an easy to understand switch with lights. It is ultra lightweight, yet rugged due to it's abs construction. It is good for being plastic, the included extra rubber-bands for the shock mount are a plus too. This is a great microphone for video recording.

Why We Like This:

A perfect solution for running and shooting
Has good audio replication, shock mount isolation, and battery life
Works great indoors and is a good starting point for video recording

Best For Shock Mount Of Its Type: Movo Shock Mount

Buy on Amazon

This mount with a recorder atop a camera can make for a top-heavy sort of feel, but that can be compensated somehow. It is the perfect shock mount and support for your zoom portable recorder or other digital microphones. It will mount any microphone or recorder with a 14" thread that attaches to most cameras via standard hot shoe or tripod via 14" thread. The mounting mechanism to attach 3H5 is sufficiently flexible that you can balance the recorder for your particular use, which is also appreciated.

The Tascam goes through batteries fast enough that an external battery is really helpful to power its bus. The hot shoe on the mount is metal and solid. The mount stays secure on the camera and holds the Tascam Linear recorder nicely.

Why We Like This:

Does a very good job isolating handling noise when using the zoom recording
Great for mounting audio recording device to any cold shoe
Really helps remove any type of vibrational or bumping noise

Best Quality Material: Tosicam Shockmount For camera

Buy on Amazon

The tosicam shockmount for camera should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. The shock mount is not too much for canceling shock waves and you will hear camera handling as well as lens focus motor. It is a good replacement for the rode videomic pro shock mount. It is made of metal but in fact only the base is metal. The metal base and hardware give it a quality feel over the factory mount. The clamps envelop the foam cover and are not slipping, even after making several moves on the Sony A7 camera.

This unit works fine when mounted upside down on the mic to grip it. There's plenty of room for the mic's cable and it doesn't interfere with the top controls of the camera nor the viewfinder. The base is metal and that feels quality but the materials made to hold the mic up does nothing to absorb unwanted sounds from disturbances.

Why We Like This:

Holds the mic much better that the stock mounts
Great microphone mount replacement and on time
One of the new comers and featured product

Best With Clamp: Movo Shockmount For camera

Buy on Amazon

Movo line of mount come in a pretty wide variety of styles, so you can definitely find one that suits your individual preferences and needs. This is a decent way to mount a portable audio recorder to a camera. It easily fits onto a dslr or camera of your choice and provides a clean look. It acts like a shock absorber. It features a four-point suspension system to minimize the impact that handling noise can have on a recording. The lightweight construction is tough enough to do the job well, and the cold shoe adapter/connection is excellent.

The weight of the mic causes it to flex a lot. It works well with the zoom h4n pro. It eliminates most of the handling noise you get when manipulating a video camera.

Why We Like This:

Great device for holding a zoom h5, easily mounts on dslr or rig
Does a reasonably good job as a shock absorber
Sturdy and necessary for top mounting a zoom recorder

Best With Shockmount: Nicama Shockmount For camera

It reduces handling and vibration sounds so you'll only be left with crystal clear audio for your interviews, vlogs and other videos.

The base is metal. Its rubberized knob allows you to easily adjust your microphone's angle so you can perfectly aim the mic to your source and can accommodate mics measuring. It is easily angled with its rubberized adjustment knob. It is a built-in shoe for camera mounting, and a 3/8"-16 thread connection at the base mounts the shockmount to boompoles and universal hand-grips.
