The cost of a mold is not relevant since these are 3D printed. There is mar=
gin in the price for profit, but that's ok, profit is good. The strength an=
d the fit to the microphone is important. It's marvelous to see the variety=
 of microphones covered here. Unfortunately, not mine.

No shock mount option but if that is not important then definitely a good d=

The $35 price (plus shipping) is not all that bad considering making the mo=
ld to produce them probably cost the company over $3000 (more if they did n=

 at about $1 a unit for a net investment of $8,000 before they sold their f=

TF mic holders are made from multiple parts that can be used on multiple de=
signs and with a wide variety of microphones and more important, they can b=
e adjusted for ORTF or XY.
