I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out how this magnetic pop filter knows which way “up” is and doesn’t just spin around the bar. Especially given the diagonal orientation of the microphone.

the simple answer is “its attracted to the bottom of the rail”
How exactly that physically works requires knowing a lot more about the design than we have, but if I were designing one, I would put a steel band in the bottom of an aluminum (or stainless steel) band. magnets are attracted to the steel band, but not aluminum or stainless. So the magnet feels a pull towards the steel band, and will want to minimize its distance to it. but since there is a curved bit of metal in the way, it has to rotate around it, thus orienting correctly.
