No idea how it will hold up, but it holds the mic firmly in place so that I could even hang it upside down.
Yes! I've always had that issue as well.

Keep me posted on the Rycote. They have a good reputation in the location audio world. If it holds up as you use it I'd like to know. I'll grab myself a couple of them to replace the AT mounts...which are due to be replaced (again).
