Rode PG2-R Pistol Grip Shockmount

The Rode PG2-R is a pistol grip shock mount built for handheld or boompole recording with Rode shotgun microphones. Its dual Rycote Lyre suspension system isolates the capsule from handling vibrations. Four mounting points accommodate a range of compatible Rode models. An integrated cable management clip keeps wiring organised during sessions.

Thermals noise and power draw

This passive mechanical accessory generates no heat, draws no power and adds no electronic noise to the signal chain. The Lyre mounts provide acoustic isolation from physical handling sounds rather than active filtering. Its lightweight construction reduces operator fatigue during long takes. The cushioned grip further dampens contact noise from the user's hand.

Behaviour under sustained load

The locking side nut maintains a fixed microphone angle throughout extended recording periods without creep. The 3/8 inch base thread secures the unit to a boompole or stand for stationary use. Cable routing points prevent snagging during prolonged handheld movement. The flush XLR connector seating preserves a reliable connection over repeated handling cycles.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the PG2-R to a boom pole without stripping the thread?

Screw the 3/8" thread at the base of the handle into the pole until the heavy-duty locking nut seats firmly, then tighten the nut by hand to lock the microphone angle.

What part of the shockmount wears out first and needs replacing?

The dual Rycote Lyre mounts provide the isolation; if handling noise returns, those Lyres are the serviceable component to inspect.

At what point does the handle become uncomfortable during long sessions?

The cushioned ergonomic grip weighs .68 kg and is designed for extended use, so fatigue depends on the operator rather than a fixed time limit.
