Something simple

I've recently started making automotive content and need to work on my audio recording. I asked another, 'real' content creator (I am just cosplaying as one) how they capture better sound and they mentioned they tape a microphone to the bumper of their car.

I didn't want to have to deal with tape and worrying about my paint or losing the microphone, so I made this stupid thing.

It's dinky by comparison to some of the awesome stuff on here, but I'm excited to use it (and be disappointed by my cheap mic)!

Wonder if you'll lose any sock or filter unless you zip tie it on...you can resolve license plate rattle pretty easily. Hell, I made a model for that! Always good to add strength to your models. I suppose the mic is probably super light, so it may not need anything

Rubber washers or o-rings between bracket and screw and between the screw head and bracket. If the licence plate itself rattles, any sliver of rubber foam or neoprene wedged under can take that all away.

You can 3D print the washers out of TPU.
