The Gibralter shock mounts that I ordered for testing arrived,
and there is one "gotcha". The mounting point is sized for a
3/8" 16 thread, which is wrong for a US style mic stand.
So, in order to use this, I will need an adapter, 5/8" 27
female, to 3/8" 16 male.
Ironic, since the topmost component is a ... 3/8" 16 female,
to 5/8" 27 male adapter.
Also, the thing that looks like a ragged edged washer is also
threaded, for 3/8" 16. That lets you tighten the two pieces
against one another, to achieve a more secure mount.
Other than that, the rubber that connects the lower 3/8" 16
female connector to the upper 3/8" 16 male connector seems
like it could be a fairly decent vibration decoupler.
HTH,
Emmit Sycamore
