Ron Meyer Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 14 months ago, I sat down with Randy at a local breakfast joint near his house. We started talking about areas of the original shock mount design that we felt we could improve on. As we sat there, we both started sketching ideas on paper napkins. Our sketches are always completely different looking. Randy looks at everything like an artist and I look at everything like an engineer. He is thinking that a particular curve or bend would look nice, and I am thinking how do we manufacture that curve or bend. We are both very different, but we seem to compliment each other. That first meeting led to another and another. Hundreds of emails, phone calls, sketches and prototypes later we were both satisfied that we had something pretty special. I hope all of you like the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I love it already! I was on a job with Don Coufal, of course, and Randy, and I think we were the first to use this amazingly simple and elegant mount. I still have two of the original ones before PSC started manufacturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Blankenship Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi Ron, In the product's specs, you currently show "203 oz (65 gm)." While 65 gm (.1433 lbs or 2.2928 oz) isn't bad, the 203 oz (i.e. 12.685 lbs) version may cause a bit of consternation. I know you make good boom poles, but twelve plus pounds may be just a tad heavy on the end of any fully extended seventeen footer. <grin>, perhaps you should take advantage of your disclaimer, "Features & Specifications subject to change."

Hi John, I guess I am busted. I kept telling Randy 12.685 Lbs was a bit too heavy! Sorry about the mistake. I will correct it. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Meyer Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Ron Do you have an estimated retail price? When will it be available? They are built, packaged and available as of today. We will begin shipping to our dealers on Wednesday, February 4th. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Ray Harris Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Awesome! I can say that in nearly every show I work on the PSC mount still is king for interior mic mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
