Spider mount for H4n field recorder (inner part)

thingiverse

Spinning the original text, a H4n user noticed some impact noise from their hands while using a shoulder rig or camera. However, such interference is usually negligible. A spider mount, typically used to counteract impact noise for conventional microphones, appears to be absent for field recorders. The microphone-stand adapter of the H4n was not an option due to its high center of gravity that allows only stationary mounting. To remedy this, a STL inner part can be designed and customized according to the mounting location; options include a sound-pole tip or direct camera attachment for a compact setup. Access to the headphone port and speaker is maintained without worries about cable interference. The recording/playback levels can also be adjusted via easy-to-access holes, though these features are not included in the STL export as it strengthens the mount. The author recommends using the RC04 remote for H4n to avoid touching buttons during recording. A blog post, photo album, and notes on the shoulder rig project are available at the mentioned links, with another user also creating a similar design for the Zoom H1. Other possible mount options include 15mm rod systems. Printing instructions for the inner part suggest ensuring the first layer sticks well to prevent warping.
