EV has a couple good ones for sub 40.00, Lightwave has one for a couple hundred. If you're gonna be on-camera, the EV is just fine. AT makes a generic for about 50.00, it's kinda intimidating looking.
PSC makes a mount that looks just like the EV, about 40.00 most places, and Azden makes the SMH-1. While their mikes aren't so hot, the Azden shock mount isn't bad.

I have both the Audio Technica AT8415 and the AT8410a shock mounts for use with the AT822 and AT825 microphones. Both work very well and each are reasonably priced at $77 (list). I like the 8415 for video work as it's a little lower profile.

AT8451

AT8410a

There are lots of them out there. Rycote makes a nice suspension suystem, but it's pricey.

I second Spot's post. Tried a few on my VX2000 and fould that the Azden shockmount is the most solid.

I have the AT 8415 and it does work well. Are you looking for homemade devices?

I just gave up on shockmounting my regular mic and bought the Rode VideoMic after seeing Spot talk about it on this forum. It is a camera mic after all. It's only going to be so good no matter what you do. Anyway, I love the VideoMic. On camera interviews sound like they should and the VideoMic shock mounting works well,, yet doesn't make for a clunky setup. I have a Rycote fuzzy cover on it and I found I could move the mic a couple of inches forward on the shockmount and still have the mic be out of frame.

The K-TEK KCAMSM and KCAMSSM mounts work really well for the AT897 or Rode NTG1/2. I don't know if the AT822 has a larger body than the mounts can accommodate, though.

Buy,

The body on the AT822 is very skinny. Those would work just fine.
