Nice - I like it :smiley:

In the UK on the R4 morning programme Today they recently had a running feature on things to do with the UK Post Offices red rubbber bands (that the posties discard in vast numbers and litter our streets).

No-one came up with anything as cute as a mic shock mount - like it :sunglasses:

A real life Macgyver :stuck_out_tongue:

I wouldn’t go that far. PVC pipe has been involved in do-it-yourself projects since the dawn of recorded history. See: pipe organ, towel holder, wine rack, etc.

No great Macgyver-like theatrical stretch there.

And yes, it occurred to me that if I bought all the parts new, I’d be right in the ballpark of a commercial shock mount. That will be our secret.

I’ve heard PVC pipe called “The yuppie duct tape.”

In Hollywood, it’s Gaffer’s Tape. Matte finish and black so it doesn’t show up on camera.
