Camera-mounting a Sanken CSS-5

Hi,

Has anyone seen any innovative technology that would allow me to mount a CSS-5 on an HDCAM?

I am looking at the K-Tek K-BWS, and it seems to be the best solution, but the only suspension that I can find is the Rycote.  Any other smaller, or more compact options?

The big concern is camera-operator complaints (mostly handheld shooting in tight quarters)

I found this, Rycote CCA (see pic)

It looks like it may work well with the Rycote suspension.  I'll have to test it out.

The idea is to record stereo ambience on Ch 3/4 of an HDCAM (F900R) and keep Ch 1/2 for dialogue, etc.  Is this overkill?  Would it be any better (in terms of camera noise) than the supplied stereo mic?  I can only assume, that with proper isolation, it would work very well and maintaining the stereo image in "sync" with pix would be fool-proof.  Any thoughts?

We are using the CSS-5's because they are available...if we could rent 3 single-barrel-stereo-shotgun mics, that may be a better solution.  They just don't seem to be in anyones rental stock!

Thanks everyone :)
