Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

Been using this mic in conjunction with a Zoom H1 portable recorder. The Sennheiser 3.5mm locking connector works fine with the device.

Works great underclothes with very little clothes noise as long as it is mounted correctly. I used Rycoat Undercovers with the mic against the outermost clothing and secured with a Rycoat holding in place.

This microphone is tiny and having just one side sound sensitive is absolutely great for reducing clothing and rustling noise. Just make sure you mount it around the right way, otherwise sound will be muffled or non-existent.

I used the undercover's in the desert in the heat of the summer. Flawless performance and out of sight. A must for field work!

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

These work fine, but will not eliminate clothing sound without clever and good mic placement, but they are fast and clean and professional looking.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

they're cheap, they work... why fumble around with tape and moleskin and this and that, when you can just easy-apply these. I use them for location sound recording.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

These are really helpful to have quick and easy set up to hide a wireless lav. Seeing a microphone is one of my pet peeves when watching an interview or documentary, and this product makes it so simple to hide the mic that there really is no excuse to ever see a microphone again.

You do need to know how to place it in order to keep clothes noise to a minimum, but that's really not a hard thing to figure out.

Let me just say this, I am not a professional Sound Enginner, but with these covers, some people can't tell the difference. I started working on a web series recently and when I came in I was thought of as a pro, yet I have only had a year of experience. These rycote covers completely get rid of the clothes noise when mic'ing moving actors with lavs. They are amazing, simple to use, they are cheap, and completely make a huge difference. I heard about these from audio professional who use them on a constant basis. These covers have changed my career in film making. They are a must get if you have actors that need to be mic'd with lavaliers and are constantly moving.

Recommended to me by seasoned audio for film pro. These are great for Professional interviews where hidden mic is required. Great for women's blouses, white tops, mens shirts without collars etc etc anywhere where you need to attach a microphone without a clip.

Under clothing lavalier mike protection. Prevents clothing rustle. Seemsto work OK.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

I never use the fuzzies that come with them because they seem to make to much noise, but the double sticky is nice and thick and good to have in your bag.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

I shoot documentary film and thought these might save me some time, but it basically just compromised the interviews I used them for. They're very simple and easy enough to just use your own made from moleskin.
The adhesive came loose mid-interview on any kind of sweater, and any movement was still audible despite very careful placement. It's still cloth on cloth. to be useful it needs to be bigger so the mic is better enclosed.

I don't know how I've done without these things all these years... No more stabbing the talent with vampire clips! Warning! if not careful in application, the lav will slide out the bottom.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

These are great because you stick the tape, then the mic, then if needed you add the windscreen, and it takes seconds because they are all pre-cut.

If you stick the outsides of the windscreens you can peel them off and use them again, which is big if you're running low or just cheap.

These are perfect for fitting small lav mics (not too great with bigger lav mics)

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

I couldn't use wireless lavs on actors without these cute little devils! You can apply the sticky to the skin, sandwich the mic with another layer, add a windscreen, etc. Handy things around, really!

Have always used Rycote tapes, never disappointed.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

This is very convenient for documentary situations with quick shoots and small crews - and it's less of an imposition on the interviewee. You'll never draw blood with this, in contrast to a vampire clip.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

Although these don't cure clothing noise or wind noise issues they do help out noticeably. The adhesive is strong and does not come off easily.

look at the Rycote Overcovers if your concern is wind.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

These little covers are a God send! Sound is perfectly clear and the mic doesn't even show through t-shirts. It's a sound kit must have. Just wish they were somehow reusable.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

They do what they should, which is reduce wind and friction noise. They are simple to use, small, and the tape sticks well enough. Having three color options is great, but it's still three options. Unless the person on camera is wearing white, black or grey they will be very noticeable. Recommended for interviews, reality TV or live events when the mic doesn't have to be completely hidden.

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

Just wrapped on an educational production, shot in Flint, Michigan, a possible pilot for a tv series. We used students for almost all of the postions. Used "Undercovers" and "Overcovers" by Rycote and not only did the products work as advertised, they saved an incredible amount of time that might have been spent by the students trying to attach the mics and then finding the resultant clothing rustle. Great Simple Product, why didn't I invent these?

Comments about Rycote Undercover - Lavalier Wind Cover and Adhesive Mount:

A convenient tool for hiding lavaliere mics, simply attach the double sided tape to body or clothes, place the mike, and cover with the softie like fabric. Now why didn't I think of that. It really does a good job of removing noise from rubbing against clothing.
