It fits my Origin fine and does a decent job holding it but the rubber pieces that hold the mount in place break off way too easy and for no reason. Woke up to my mic dangling one day. Cheaply built and not made to last, this is the 3rd one I buy with the same issue

The little connector pads that are supposed to hold the mic don't grip tight enough and the mic will swiftly begin to slide out.Took forever to find a quick fix, but I'd you take a bit of Sandpaper and rough up those rubber pads just a bit it instantly fixed the slip issue.Also absurdly expensive in my opinion

What a HUGE disappointment!!! Aston makes excellent mics, but for $90 this shock mount is an absolute JOKE. Yes, it FITS a large diaphragm mic, but the problem is it will not HOLD a large diaphragm mic. As soon as you set the mic in the shock mount the mic begins to slide. I viewed some tips on Youtube that mentioned wiping down the mic and the "clamps" (a laugh), with a damp cloth, or sanding the clamps to give them more texture. But when you're paying $90 for a shock mount "supposedly" made by Aston, you shouldn't have to do anything to the shock mount except "plug and play". Additionally, for $90 this mount is made from really cheap materials. Basically you have a decent $20 shock mount being sold under the Aston brand for more than four times what it's worth.

I have an Aston Spirit microphone that was one of the best purchases I've made for my studio in a long time.The shock mount however is a engineering failure. Imagine trying to pick up a full coffee mug with the tips of your two pinkys and a single index finger. That's basically what's happening here. The springs aren't strong enough, and the little purple round pads that provide the friction aren't large or sticky enough to do the job. The first photo show the mic standing proud in its new mount. The second photo is two hours of normal gravity later.So it's not totally apparent that this isn't going to work until you set it up and leave it for a time. Not willing to build it into my workflow to stop the session and move the mic up a half an inch every 30 minutes. It would be fun to do a proper time-lapse and watch the thing sink like a piece of rotting fruit, but I don't have time for that or this ridiculous fail.

This is a very nice high quality mount. My mic is small and has a ledge to hold it if it should begin to slide down. Not everyone has this kind of mic though. So, the manufacturer recommends sanding the rubber holders a little bit to rough them up. Just a very light couple of passes should do. Also if you have a greasy mic from touching it as you really should not, please go clean it first. Be real.Understand, most mics are a satin steel and the pressure would have to be enormous to hold the mic a long time. Do yourself an favor ...get the grease off your mic and rough up the smooth rubber some on the holders - and don't touch them with your greasy fingers either.I really like this holder with 3 feet instead of 4 - it looks more innovative and slick without a crude 4th foot jammed into the logo.

Perfect fit, of course, it's make specificly for these mics. Barely picks up anything from my desk and holds the weight of the mic well, even upside down but I would recommend having that be the mics normal position lol.I'm also looking forward to the metal pop filter that can be integrated into this set up.Honestly, Im really starting to enjoy the level of quailty Aston consistently brings.Btw, they inculde a second rubber band support but the one already installed is so high quality I can't see needing another anytime soon, still a very nice touch.
