On newer models they have fixed this and have a plastic more sturdy suspension.

Rode stepped up and shipped me a full new suspension/hot shoe mount

And I wish the suspension was better than the rubber bands that hold it in place

Since I have it strapped to the Merlin Steadycam, the "delicate" suspension system doesn't come into play for me.

The awesome suspension system is VERY delicate and all comes apart if you look at it funny.

over all i think the build quality is horrible and a person would be WAY better off buying a proper mic and a 1/4-20 hotshoe adapter with a proper suspension

If I was buying this over again, then I would spring for the new model with the solid molded plastic lyre suspension rather than the rubber bands in this model.
