I already had a Mobile Audio Recorder and I wanted to add it to my camera for better audio recordings. Doing this directly with a hot shoe adapter is fine but you record every gripp noises when handling the camera.

The professional solution was too expansive and the affordable one too much plastic. Goal was a cheap (for me it was nearly free) and very lightweight shockmount from a clothes hanger.

Step 1: Parts

You need:

1 cloths hanger
4 rubber bands
litte piece of bicycle tube (not shown here)
non tear thread
2 hot shoe adapters (bought a pack of four for €5 on amazon)

tools:

pliers

Step 2: Bending

Cut the hangers hook and start bending. I used a electrician pliers. Using a plier with a finer tip would result in sharper angles. The dimmensions fit my audio recorder as I wanted to use the display and all the buttons. Change depending on your recorder.

Use one end of the hanger and form the first end of the mount. Somehow I managed to use all the wire at the last end of the mount. Twirl the ends together or fix them with thread.

Step 3: Mount

Use one hot shoe adapter and one disc from the second one. This discs have a flat and a crooked side. Putting two crooked sides together fixes the wire nicely.

Step 4: Savety

Add a small piece of a bicycle tube between the two discs so they screw firmly. It also helps to align the mount.

Step 5: Threading

Use a thread that is hard to tear to make a solid structure for the wires. This solution is very lightweight, cheap and will not break. Alternatively use zip ties.
