Aston Microphones SwiftShield

Super nice holder but unfortunately it has two design flaws that mean I can't use it with my microphone. I have a tube mic that is a copy of Telefunken's 251 and is therefore quite heavy. The spring loaded holders pads that are supposed to hold the microphone are too weak, which means that the microphone slowly slides out of the holder. In addition, the knob that holds the angle of the holder to the microphone stand is too weak so that it bends under the load if not tightened really super hard. This holder probably works well for lighter microphones, but for a heavy tube mic it is completely unusable. Too bad, because I like it otherwise.
