The mount is designed to eliminate noise and vibrations when holding a microphone in hand. It is compatible with microphones with a diameter of 19 - 20mm or 21 - 22.5mm using the included mounts, and also allows for easy adjustment of the microphone angle. The PG2-R enables cable to pass through the handle, minimizing noise caused by cable contact and protecting the cable at the bending point. The 3/8" thread allows for the microphone to be mounted on a telescopic or other stand using the PG2.
