The Softie Windshield is a slip-on open-cell foam, with integral fur cover. The Softie will reduce wind-noise, protect your mic and is the standard world wide in TV. Softie windshields are available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular shotgun microphones.
Both the acoustic foam and synthetic fur are made from materials which are specially designed and manufactured for the purpose, and as a result up to 25 dB of wind-noise reduction without any adverse effect on High-Frequency. In addition the foam is not susceptible to UV or moisture damage, giving this product great longevity.
Advanced materials, adhesives and assembly techniques all combine to make the Softie an extremely tough product that provides excellent wind protection in the harshest of environments.
The Softie Windshield can be purchased either on its own, or as part of a Kit, which includes a Windshield, Lyre shock-mount and Pistol-grip.
Softie Windshields come in two varieties of fur length, classic and short hair. The short haired Softie, known as the Camera-Mounted Softie has closely cropped dark grey synthetic fur, offers lower profile and a more compact design without severely altering the efficiency of the Softie. It can also be mounted close to the camera lens without causing unwanted shadows.

Finding the correct slip-on windshield will depend on the type, length and diameter of the microphone. Slip-on windshields are designed for cylindrical shotgun mics, ranging from 19-25 mm in diameter.
For any windshield to work effectively it must cover all the ports on the microphone. Therefore a 12 cm slip-on windshield would be suitable for shotgun microphones, with slots no further than 12 cm from the front of the mic.
The diameter of the microphone is also key, as the fit must be tight in order to achieve a good seal. Rycote slip-on windshields come in two diameter fittings, Standard (19-22 mm) or Large (24-25 mm).

Rycote Triangular Black Mic Flag
0 out of 5(0)Triangular Black Mic Flag
Product Code: 107302
A three-sided, black, 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.
