I then drilled 4 holes into the base which is to hold the mic. holder very
securely to the base of the shock mount. I wanted a no-compromise bond and I
also wanted to be able to replace the mic. stand head in the future if it should
break so epoxy or another solution was not an option.
You can see from this side view the thin aluminum plate I cut from some scrap
to use as a brace.
This top view of the base plate shows the four locking nuts that hold the
aluminum plate against the top of the mic. holder. This is very secure and the
shock mount is still exceptionally light weight. Now for the boom pole.
Finally, here is a rear view of the shock mount showing the plate clamping
down on the mic. holder.
