Don't be so sure I'm not watching. I do get access from time to time.

You are only getting to 1/10 of my site by going up. And I don't mind.

Here's one of my somewhat more recent SASS recordings:

In this case recorded on my high tripod, like this:

Beyond the particular mic, location makes a difference. Height is a
location parameter.

The SASS itself is dependent on the particular mic used for it's sound
characteristics. The SASS/MKH-110 I have has a different sound than
the SASS/MKH-20.

That's not to say that one is "better" than the other, just different.
For some uses one or the other will produce a sound I like better. And
that's the bottom line, you choose a mic that gives the sound you like.
