I use the Rode suspension mic holders. I always carry a spare set of Rode rubber bands, just in case.
The first time I don’t take them, then they will all break.
Another good strategy is to bring extra humans to hold the mic. The squishier humans are better for enhanced shock absorption.
Also… Now I know what “Innopsis” means.
This is the best goodie ever.

It is a metaphysical fact that goodies that mention me are superior to goodies that do not.
