Product Information
Full details
The RØDE PG2-R is a professional-grade pistol grip shock mount designed for videographers and field recordists who require clean, vibration-free audio from shotgun microphones in handheld or boom-mounted scenarios. Its primary benefit is the use of dual Rycote Lyre mounts which provide superior mechanical isolation; however, users should note that its specialized design is optimized specifically for shotgun-style form factors and may not be suitable for large diaphragm condenser microphones.

FAQs
Is the RØDE PG2-R compatible with non-RØDE microphones?
While designed specifically for RØDE shotgun microphones, it can fit other shotgun mics of similar diameter, though performance is optimized for RØDE products.
Can I mount this on a standard camera tripod?
Yes, it features a 3/8-inch thread on the base, which is standard for most microphone stands and boom poles. You may need an adapter for specific 1/4-inch tripod heads.
Does it include the XLR cable?
The PG2-R unit includes the housing for the cable, but the specific PG2-R Pro Cable is generally sold separately.
How do I adjust the angle of the microphone?
Loosen the locking nut located on the side of the pistol grip, adjust the microphone to your desired angle, and tighten the nut securely.
Is the shock mount weather-resistant?
The materials are durable for outdoor use, but it is not waterproof. Avoid direct exposure to heavy rain and wipe it down if it becomes wet.
Troubleshooting
Microphone slipping or tilting
Ensure the heavy-duty locking nut on the side of the handle is fully tightened.
Excessive handling noise heard in recording
Check that the microphone is not touching the frame of the shock mount and that cables are not pulled too tight at the connection point.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional vibration isolation using Rycote technology
- Lightweight and ergonomic for long-term handheld use
- Robust cable management system reduces cable-borne noise
- Compatible with a wide range of RØDE shotgun microphones
- Secure locking nut for reliable angle adjustments
Cons
- Specific to shotgun microphone form factors
- Requires PG2-R Pro Cable for flush-mount XLR termination
- Larger footprint compared to simple clip-style mounts
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the PG2-R, slide your compatible RØDE shotgun microphone into the Lyre mounts, ensuring the microphone is balanced correctly. Route your XLR cable through the integrated management clips along the handle to prevent accidental tugging. For base termination, the grip is designed to house the PG2-R Pro Cable, allowing the XLR connector to sit flush at the bottom of the grip.
Care instructions involve keeping the Rycote Lyre mounts free from heavy grit or dust. If the rubberized mounts become dusty, wipe them gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. Always ensure the locking nut is fully tightened before mounting the grip to a boom pole to prevent the microphone from drooping during use.
