I’ve used this grip in demanding environments—from dense forests to high-wind coastal areas—and it has handled every "hard situation" I've thrown at it without a single structural failure.
While it’s lightweight enough for long sessions, the materials are high-grade. I’ve had other shock mounts snap or lose tension after a few months of heavy use, but the PG2-R remains as solid as day one.
The Rycote Lyre suspension is the star here; even in extreme temperatures or when tossed around in a packed gear bag, these mounts don't fatigue or perish like standard rubber O-rings.
The dual Lyre mounts provide incredible isolation. Even when I’m moving quickly or navigating rough terrain, the handling noise is virtually non-existent.
The 3/8" thread at the base is reinforced. I’ve switched it between the grip and a boompole hundreds of times, and the threading hasn't stripped or loosened.
