Now that's useful info. For the price of them, I'd expect better. Guess I'll try my DIY solution first.

your idea is good :thumbsup: make sure you use some serious quality steel screw to withstand the load. The challenge will also be to be able to grip the loctite'd nut with the right pliers... use some bada$$ red stuff too :)

I'm guessing a pretty normal rc grade screws will do the trick, as the original shockmount is basically just that. A normal screw with nuts on. As for grip, a basic wrench should do the trick.

Now, how about supergluing red locktite to araldite and then apply to my nuts? Will that stop them from bouncing? :woot: (Now there's a sentence no one has heard before!)

yes, but on your assembly, you will have nuts on both sides (alrite, no stupid jokes pls) which will provide more "grab" when flipped upside down that a screw head and a nut.

Either way it should work :)

supergluing red loctite araldite works, as long as you weld it on top just for good measure :p
