Attach the QSM1 Mini Shockmount to the QM1 Run And Gun Cold Shoe.
Start with the top wheel loosened down on the shoe. Carefully twist the shockmount on all
the way. Then unscrew the shockmount a quarter turn so that it is loose and tighten the top
cold shoe adapter wheel while positioning the shockmount squarely with the shoe.
Attach Cable and Connector to Mini Shotgun Mic and Camera.
Twist on the 30cm curly
cable securely to the mic and insure the 3.5mm connector is also tightly connected. Insert
the mic into the shockmount. Connect the 3.5mm connector to the camera’s microphone
input.
Windscreen.
The Mini Shotgun can be inserted into the shockmount and used without the
windscreen, as the mic handles minor air movement well. But we suggest always using the
windscreen. First mount the windscreen in the shockmount by pinching the open end
slightly and feeding it through the bands on the shock mount with one hand, and pull it half
way through with the other hand. Then insert the microphone into the shockmount, and
windscreen, pushing it through while holding the windscreen and shockmount in place.

For heavier wind, the QWJ1 original Wombat Fluffy Wind Muff can be used
(sold separately).
Lockable PAN & TILT.
You can adjust the TILT of Mini Shotgun on the Mini Shockmount by
loosening the tilt screw, adjusting the shockmount to the desired position, and tightening.
The PAN of the Mini Shotgun can be adjusted by loosening the upper wheel of the QM1 Run
And Gun Cold Shoe, adjusting the shockmount to the desired position, and retightening.
Microphone and Recording Basics
Shotgun microphones are designed for directional audio capture to “pinpoint” the target in
front of the mic while effectively rejecting sound from the sides and back. Typically they are
used in run and gun situations when mounting a body mic such as a Lavalier or headworn
mic to capture the voice is not possible. A shotgun mic when mounted on-‐camera should be
used in close proximity to the on screen talent’s voice. On wider shots, when the camera is
further from the subject, a stand or boom pole should be used to insure that the mic is as
close to the target as possible for maximizing audio quality. SEE VIDEO
