Check that the cradle is aligned so that the shoe mount is closer to
the rear of the microphone

Slide the tapered square on the middle of the band into the notch on the
shock mount
Repeat the process for all four bands, and the Stereo VideoMic Pro
will be securely mounted to its shock mount cradle.
Note: The bands should press in and hold to the notches on the
microphone body and shock mount cradle quite easily, as it is
moulded to the shape of the notch required. If the band does not
appear to fi t well, you may have the wrong band shape for that area
of the shock mount. Switch to the other band shape and try again.
