It does not look like this, but such suspension is essential to isolate any handling noise. It has two different diameters to screw on the highest possible media. I use a Rode Boom Boom pole and a microphone Rode NTG-2. It fulfills its role perfectly and is super effective. 4 elastic parts are provided, but as long as you are careful, many years will pass before having to change them. It is still very reassuring to have available in case.
