Hello,

is there a way (a screw somewhere inside?) to have the head of the SM4 more fixed (more stable)?

JM.

Can you explain a little more? The head of the NT4 is fixed solidly to the body, if not then your locking ring is loose, just tighten it by hand.

Ooops sorry I'm French therefore it's a little hard to explain technically..!

I mean that the NT4 is quite heavy, and for example, let's suppose I've got a 90° angle between the microphone and my hand when it's on the SM4, if I point somewhere below or abvove, the head of the microphone will go down, the angle between my hand and the microphone won't be the same because of the weight..

I hope my explanation is not bringing more confusion..

I see what you mean. The head of the mount falls forward or backward...

...unfortunately there is no way to tighten the tilting head

Contact Rode, they are usually very helpful.

Thanks digifish, that's it exactly..

I'll send them an email then.

Kind regards,

JM.

...and so you should, Rode claim that it is suitable for the NT4 :wink:

They are nice indeed!

here's their answer :

The SM4 does have a thumbscrew on the side that allows you to tighten
it. Have you tried that?

I asked them for more details since I don't see the thumbscrew.. maybe under the plastic part where it's written Rode?

Indeed, perhaps you need to point them to the picture I showed so that you are clear it's the same thing
