Thanks brother for this awesome tutorial!!! A very important lesson I have learned here because you took the time to explain this shockmount set up!!! God Bless you and thanks bro… thank you.
I just bought 10 bands identical to what came with my shock mount and what is selling for around 10 bucks on-line for 1 buck at a Dollar Store. Hooked it up and it works exactly like the original bands. Perfect when you pay 10 bucks you get either only 2 or possibly 4 pieces. Place the unused extras in an air tight plastic bag or some other container and they should last longer than when exposed to air. I might put the entire shock mount into a plastic bag if I know I'm not going to be using it for a while. In any case THANKS a lot for your video.
How about keeping the shorter band on the bottom, as you have it, but using the longer band on top. I did that and it has a good amount of tightness...but not too much...just right.
Should not have taken the old bottom band off until the new one on top was completely threaded in place. Otherwise your video is helpful. The larger bands would not have worked. The old ones have stretched because the rubber degrades due to sulfur in the air, so then it is only the cotton (?) outer casing that helps keep the band in place - and the material stretches. Hence the longer diameter than the new smaller bands. However, as others have pointed out instead of paying $8 -10 plus shipping for elastic bands, go to a Dollar store and pick up some elastic bands (more than 2 pieces) for pony tails etc. Thanks !
I ordered the exact same brand and was wondering how to do this myself. Thanks for the demonstration. Very helpful
That's great to hear. I wasn't sure anyone would be interested.

Thank you so much!! I’ve struggled with my mic for so long. This was super helpful.

Hey those are great ideas to make these bands last longer!! Thanks for your comment.
Just got back from Dollar Tree and the hair elastics work perfectly - 6 for a dollar.
Ha ha!! That's awesome!
That helped a lot. I couldn't figure out it. Thank you very much indeed!
Ha ha! That's great. I actually didn't know if it would be helpful to anyone or not.
thank you so. much for this!

That's great. Find what works great for you!
What brand of shock mount do you have?
I found the mount at a thrift store and there is no branding on it.
Yours look exactly like the one I have
Mine came with my Condenser Mic. But the basic design is common among many shock mounts.
Thanks someone broke mine :/ by trying to take the bands apart. Had no clue how to fix it
Glad to be of help. It's kind of a "cat's cradle" type of puzzle! Lol
Thank you, this helped so much!
Awesome! Made the video on a whim. Wasn't sure if it would be helpful.
Very helpful. Thank you

this helped so much thank you
I'm so glad!

Good to know. It was my first run at this too.
Why does this dude sound like he just ran a mile
Bro... Sounds sad, doesn't it. ;)
