  1. Jez, do you have any snaps of the Canford system?
  2. Yes, the protector cases are a perfect "snug" fit for the Baseball
  3. We’re offering the plastic tubes in a pack of 3, to be sold on their own too. These tubes come with loads of foam inners to allow different mic lengths. Not sure of the US list, but they’ll be £13.00 for the pack of 3. Rigid case options for both the Modular & Softies are something we’re looking at. The Mic Protector case structure would work, it’s just whether the handle or boom adaptors stay outside of the case or not. All suggestions warmly welcomed...
  4. Very good points. Truth be told, we only started this project because we needed cases ourselves for the demo mics we take to trade shows. Cheers, Simon
  5. Out of interest - were you using a foam or Softie fitted to the MiniCMIT?
  6. Stereo Cyclone - one range that allows for multiple stereo & surround techniques http://rycote.com/microphone-windshield-shock-mount/stereo-cyclone/ Shipping from November 2017, pricing to follow shortly. Cheers, Simon
  7. Sorry Chris, this one slipped through... here are the details of the Baseball Windjammer Description: Baseball Windjammer Order Code: 055345
  8. Hi Chris, I'll let you know the correct Windjammer next week. Cheers,Simon
  9. Our new range of mounts, the INV-Lite are now shipping: http://rycote.com/microphone-windshield-shock-mount/boom-shock-mounts/#lite The INV-Lite has been designed specifically for short shotguns on interior boom use with a foam windscreen or our new Baseball. INV-Lite 19 (041136) DPA 4017B, 4017C; 4018C Sanken CS-1e Sennheiser MKH 8060, 8050, 8040, 8020 INV-Lite 21 (041135) Schoeps MiniCMIT
  10. Hi Denzil, sorry to hear that - shoot me a quick email to simon at rycote.com Cheers, Simon Please drop me a line Ken
  11. Thanks. A short pile black fur Windjammer will be added to the price list Chris - cheers, Simon
  12. Sorry about that Glen - if you've still got them email me directly with Simon at rycote.com
  13. The Lyres are relatively simple in construction, and made from a material called Hytrel that shouldn't stress fracture or break, even when abused. That said, if you get one that does fail - please let me know as I'd want to see it. We make quite a few of them, and manufacturing does occasionally spew out weird parts with crystalline parts. We'd swap that out immediately if that happened. Cheers, Simon
  14. Yes, we've had some of the beta-testers who've added a Windjammer to give additional protection. They used 5cm Smoothie Windjammers from memory. That said - for the most part though, the testers only used the Baseball for interiors and it stayed on the mics (dominated mainly by DPA4018C, MKH 50, MKH8050 & Schoeps CMC's).
  15. We've started in black (very creative of us) but to make different colours isn't too difficult if there's a demand. Mike - The Baseball is only 75mm (3") diameter, so performs much less than the larger Super-Softie in terms of wind reduction. It's really as a step up from a regular foam gag, but below that of say the BBG windshield to reduce the "swoosh" from fast re-cue's. The structure is an open cell foam, exactly the same as in the Super & Classic-Softies, with a fine version of the fleece from our original Hi Wind Covers. The Baseball is finished off with a very fine rubber seal on the back - which is smaller than the Softie end cap, and therefore less likely to cause any reflections. Cheers, Simon
  16. Hi Mike, We're just waiting for the parts to arrive, so we should be shipping by the end of January. PM at simon@rycote.com and I'll let you know once they're heading out the door. Cheers, Simon
  17. If you're going to use the MiniCMIT with a Softie, the 12cm Classic-Softie (19/22) & the INV-7 HG MkIII goes well with it. The mount needs to clip partially onto regular XLR, rather than a short version.
  18. For the moment yes. The new clamp & lever parts will arrive early in 2017 The difference is the rear clamp/lever, as the DPA 4017b or c are 19mm rather than 21mm for the Schoeps. The 4017 version will also work well with the 4018, 8060 & CS-1.
  19. The MiniCMIT will fit into the Cyclone, Small & a new MiniCMIT Modular kit we've got coming too - same size as the WS1, just over 300g excluding the mic.
  20. A short interview with Russell Edwards, who is the Sound Supervisor on Amazon's The Grand Tour & previously Top Gear. http://rycote.com/microphone-windshield-shock-mount/russell-edwards/
  21. A 19mm version of clamp for 4017C, MKH 8060 & CS1 users is coming too as an InVision (interior mount), followed by shorter versions of the clamp for fitting into the Cyclone (or Modular). The windshield versions of the clamps are shorter so the centre line of the mic sits within the Lyre. Cheers..
  22. The slots are completely clear (the attached shows a 50mm diameter foam fitted)... the Lyre is just under 80mm across.
  23. Couple of pictures of the Tac!T board (front & back)
  24. Hi everyone, We recently had the pleasure to talk to Production Sound Mixer, James Sieczka. After working in Asia for many years and learning from Oscar winners Greg Curda and Emmy winner Les Wolf, he returned to the States to partner with Noise Boys LLC. We're really grateful for the interview and tips he shares with us. The interview shares some great insights of what it takes to move along the career path of a professional sound engineer. http://rycote.com/microphone-windshield-shock-mount/interview-with-james-sieczka/ They'll be more interviews to follow - I hope you enjoy it. Cheers, Simon Simon Davies Rycote Microphone Windshields LtdE. simon@rycote.com
