Rycote Portable Recorder Suspension

On the bright side, the suspension does a solid job at cutting out unwanted vibrations and handling noise — super important for getting clean field recordings.

That said, there are a few annoying drawbacks. The overall design feels a bit clunky. The build isn’t very flexible, and the Phillips screw used for tilt adjustments is a pain — not ideal when you need to make quick tweaks on the go.

Another issue comes up when you're trying to mount it on something other than a cold shoe. If you're using a cheaper tripod, you'll probably need an adapter, which just makes the whole setup bulkier and kind of awkward to deal with.
