Boom
I bought a mono pod for cameras, mounted the microphone on it and used it as my boom mike. After some teething troubles (I unwrapped the cable from arround the metal tube because I'm sure it was causing interference) it worked quite well.
Despite the suspension the mic still picked up the scrapes and squeaks as I shifted the boom, and clinks as the cable waved into things, so I had to learn the art of holding it perfectly still for a whole take.
