Suspensions as the PSC are good for certain microphones with capsules that are already suspended or isolated inside the tube. That is not the case with most condenser mics. Buying a shockmount from the same brand as your mics is a good idea, but you may look for others that are similar and might be cheaper and/or better made. If I am not wrong the Schoeps is plastic made, which I don't think is a good thing. But look for that design type elsewhere. AKG, Beyer, or some Eastern Europe made mics. Look for metal types that will hold the Schoeps. Quote:
But Rycote now makes an X type shockmount, resembling the Schoeps, except the rubbers are a bit tight. You can tune those rubbers for the Schoeps so they isolate vibration better. In that case you might get away with the same suspension for indoors and outdoors. Indoors you just pull the blimp out and use the foams. Look for that info in Rycote's and Schoeps site. Quote:

Well, thanks for the input everyone. I really appreciate it. Now I'm off to get lighting equipment. I guess I'll post our finished work in the Show Your Work section, which should be in a couple months!
