My only complaint is that the shockmounts die quickly. I'm on my 4th shockmount for my 4050s. And it's all 3 of them, so I can't believe it's a fluke...or maybe I'm just hard on them...who knows.

I was playing around with my 4050 the other night, and recalled this thread. One annoyance I have with the AT shockmount is that it isn't stable, doesn't hold the mic firmly, and even the weight of the cable tends to pull it off balance. I can't position it anyway that's isn't straight up. So I started looking and came across the Rycote USM, which seemed like it would fit. It arrived today, and seems quite good. No idea how it will hold up, but it holds the mic firmly in place so that I could even hang it upside down.
