I'm using these two items with a Rode NTG2 shotgun. The plastic jointed shoe attachment that comes with the shock mount has a 1/4-20 hole on the bottom, but I just got rid of it and went with the more sturdy all metal mount. The picture I attached shows my setup.
Light, strong and tightens down solid.

Thanks I'll look into it.

While we're on the subject, I would add that the bands on the Rode Shockmount I listed work but only marginally well. I just ordered this replacement:

You'll need to attach this Cold Shoe mount to the 1-4/20 connector at the top of the handle. Then, you can slide a shock mount into the cold shoe.

Check the swat rail mag light or lazer sight mounts in google in the gun shops as they can be configured easily to hold a mic. They are not expensive.

Heres some ideas.

Don't like the shoe mount option.

Here's what I found

Nice thing about the shoe-option is
-nice quick-release
-low profile , not sure the various "peg" style mounts will do you any favors in packing the camera
-other stuff can be mounted to it too

I popped one in the top of my RED handle. Handy little bugger.

I have used a cold shoe mount for years for exactly those reasons. Wireless receiver, on camera light, shotgun mic, they all go on/off in a snap and pack away clean. May not have been clear from my earlier post that the cold shoe adaptor I suggested is reversible, making it either a 1/4-20 or cold shoe mount in seconds, with a locking collar in either direction.

They are indeed very convenient. Which shoe mount do you use with your handle?

 

[Rob Castiglione]

You can use the Wooden camera cold shoe together with the K tek mic holder which has a cold shoe fitting - a ton better than the Rode. Those lacky bands are a joke for holding your mic. You can find it as well at B & H.
