Catching up with some older news, the RODE SM3R looks to be a better mounting system for shotgun mics on your camcorder and for boom setups.

The SM3-R is a suspension shock mount with camera shoe adaptor for mounting various RØDE microphones onto a camera via the standard hot/cold shoe mount. The SM3-R is equipped with dual Rycote Lyre mounts to ensure maximum isolation from any handling vibrations, four possible mounting points to suit the complete range of compatible RØDE on-camera microphones, and integrated cable management clip.
