Triangular White Mic Flag

Product Code: 107308

A three-sided, white, triangular mic flag, suitable for microphone with 19 to 38 mm diameters.

Main Benefits:

• Fits A Wide Range Of Microphones
• Lightweight But Tough

Rycote’s Mic Flags are made from durable shatterproof moulded plastic and avoid the use of perishable foam inserts to make the flags fit the microphone. Instead, an array of internally fitted hard-wearing red and black rubber ‘vanes’ secures the flag around the microphone, allowing Rycote’s Mic Flags to be used with any microphones ranging from 19 to 38mm in diameter.

Customising your mic flag in Australia & New Zealand

We suggest that you have your custom designs & logos printed on high-quality, hard-wearing, UV-resistant vinyl stickers, this helps to reduce glare and to be fixed directly onto the flag. Each triangular flag requires a minimum of three stickers, opposed to the square flags that require four stickers per flag. It’s also a good idea to get a few additional stickers printed at the same time.

Typically, we suggest for a quick and effective method of printing, you contact your printing company directly with the details above, that said if the stickers are required urgently most (just-in-time) franchised printing companies across Australia can assist with quick printing solutions. As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Fits A Wide Range Of Microphones

With all of the black and red ‘vanes’ fitted, the Rycote mic flag will securely hold microphones from 19 to 32mm wide. To fit the flags to mics of up to 38mm in diameter, users simply remove the lid of the mic flag and slide out the black vanes, creating a looser fit which allows the broader mics to slide onto the flag.

Lightweight But Tough

Lightweight and extremely hard-wearing, Rycote’s Mic Flags provide a large printable area for sponsors’ logos. Three- and four-sided flags are available, in either black or white; the square type offers a printable logo area 57mm wide by 48mm high on each of its four sides, while the printable area of the three sides on the triangular flag measure 89.5mm wide by 48mm.

InVision Softie Lyre Mount MHR

Product Code: 037324

Suitable for shotgun microphones from 19-25 mm in diameter

Main Benefits:

• Virtually indestructible
• Offers much improved isolation from camera noise compared to other on-camera microphone mounts
• No elasticated parts — never sags or needs rethreading

Although many camcorders have built-in or add-on microphone holders or clamps allowing users to attach high-quality shotgun or rifle mics to their camcorders, these are susceptible to camera and general handling noise, and do little or nothing to attenuate vibrations passing through connected video and microphone cables. The new Softie Lyre Mount with MHR replaces built-in or accessory camera mounts or clamps, and is supplied with three sets of metric screws (20mm-long M2.5, M3 and M4 types), allowing the mount to be connected directly to many common camcorders, such as the Panasonic DVX-series, Sony NXCAM, DSR, HVR, PMW and HDR-series, and many Canon X-series models.

The mic clip, based on Rycote’s established and patented Lyre technology, accommodates mics from 19 to 25mm in diameter and up to 300mm in length (including the slab-sided Sennheiser MKH range). The virtually indestructible W-shaped Lyre clips are made of hard-wearing, heat-resistant thermoplastic, and do not perish like elastic suspension systems. In the Softie Lyre Mount, they dramatically reduce the effects of the unwanted vibrations that can reach the mic capsule in undamped mic suspensions and are heard as noise, whines or low-frequency thumps. On a camcorder, the Softie Lyre Mount is particularly effective at reducing or eliminating lens motor and cable-borne noise. The mount can be rotated and tilted freely on any axis, and may be stored in bags with a mic still fitted. The mount can also be removed quickly should it be required, leaving the MHR in place on the camcorder.

InVision Softie Lyre Mount with Pistol Grip

Product Code: 033702

Suitable for shotgun microphones from 19-34 mm in diameter.

Main Benefits:

• High quality shock-mounting for an affordable price

The InVision Softie Lyre Mount uses the Lyre system to provide complete isolation against handling and cable-borne noises. The Mount is supplied either with a lightweight Pistol-grip handle. Together the suspensions and the handle provides a quick, simple, robust and cost effective shock-mount for the tough environment of modern day ENG and location recording.

This universal shock-mount has a soft-feel grip moulded into the clip which securely holds the microphone, preventing any slipping or twisting. The Lyre are extremely robust, and virtually unbreakable, as they do not use elastic or rubber components that are prone to wear and tear.

The Pistol-grip has an added element of versatility having a 3/8″ thread fitting for use with a boom pole. For customers who require an on-camera mount, by either hot shoe or ¼” thread, please see our InVision Video range which uses an identical Lyre mount.
