The Rycote Undercover pads are a disposable mount and windshield used for mounting lavalier microphones underneath clothing. There are 3 sheets of 10 fabric discs (30 total) supplied in each package. The pads are made of a soft woven material. The Sticky (adhesive) is peeled onto clothing, providing a tacky mounting surface for lavalier microphones. Place your mic. Then place the woven fabric disc over the microphone and adhesive surface, sandwiching the microphone and eliminating structure and rustling noise caused by the movement of clothing, cables, etc.

Rycote Undercover Reviews
Easy and sticks well
Fast and easy to use and sometimes get more than one use
Works well
Great way to hide a Lav under clothes.
Works great
Great tool, It helps a lot with cloth rustle.
Favorite new thing for my audio kit
Took these along to a shoot for the first time, subjects doing a LOT of action (yoga poses!) and clothing/movement noise was kept to a minimum thanks to the Undercovers. I love it! A bargain for the headache they'll save your mix later. Want to try Overcovers sometime too, but for my purposes at this shoot the Undercovers were an A+. As I saw mentioned, you may have a little struggle fitting these over a lav with its own windscreen still on, but it's doable - I fit them over the ME-2 mics and kept their own windscreens on for extra insurance against breath and pops. Best in these situations to pre-stretch the felt before you attempt to apply it.
Awesome alternative to lav clips!
I use Undercovers at all of my weddings, promos, and most of my interviews, they are fantastic. They do a great job at hiding mics which is great for both photo and video. They stick really well, but never leave residue on skin or fabric. For interviews I can reuse the same sticky maybe 3-4 times, however I never reuse the stickies for weddings to ensure it's nice and secure. Cons: 1) The felt covers can be a little snug on lavs that aren't teeny tiny, this is easily resolved by stretching the felt though. 2) You do get some clothing noise if you don't position it perfectly in a gap where clothing won't overlap (against the neck under the collar is best) Only reason I'm not giving these a 5th star is I do wish there was an improved way to avoid clothing noise when the person is moving their arms/shoulders. Maybe if the felt was thicker, or a two layer system or a rigid cage on the outside to prevent fabric from touching the felt... clothing noise is pretty much the only thing that could use improving on this product, but, they do work so well I use them all the time. I wish more DJs and officiants would use Undercovers at weddings to hide their mics for the sake of the couple's photos and video.
Great product!
Received this a few days ago and have already used it on a few shoots. I needed an effective and easy way to hide a lavaliere mic and this is it. It's easy to apply and can be placed virtually anywhere on the subject. It can be easily hidden. Great product.
Great product
No issues on an various fabrics. This is your go to.
Good for hiding those lavs!
These worked well, even under clothing. We were concerned the covers would deaden the sound, but they worked well.
