Plant Mics

[Shane Munro]

I want to use my A20 mini Tx with a DPA 4097 as a plant mic.

The shape of the Tx makes it problematic.

Does anyone have a suggestion for mounting or propping the unit?

I need it to be vibration resistant.

This is my favorite mount! Magnet is SUPER strong, but also w/ some TopStik it’ll stick anywhere.

To add: it’s solid rubber, hard, but with some give. Bottom is magnet, covered in rubber-

I was hoping I didn’t have to use the extension cable.

I’m after something more contained, something where I can walk up to a shelve or table and quickly hide it then grab it on my way out, one handed. Something more like a little bucket that unit can sit in so the mic is away from the reflective surfaces.

But a great suggestion, definitely something to go in the kit.

Thank you.

Here’s a pic for reference on how I sometimes roll with the Piano mount:

 

SMQV/ URSA Pouch/ micro dot extension/ and 4097 on Piano mount (w/TopStik). 
 

Extra extension cable is tucked securely into Ursa pouch.

You don’t say where you are trying to hide it that is problematic?  And what do you mean by vibration resistant?

a few strips of 2” photo black can hold a tx in a lot of situations.  Or some Joe’s sticky stuff.

Thanks Jeremy,

 

I see what your doing there, nice set up.

If I hide a mic behind a lamp on a coffee table and a glass or cup is heavily placed I want the mic further away from the table surface.

I think EnotsMedia example is a pretty good compromise though.

Thanks Jeremy

 

Instead of the cable I used the extender gooseneck.

Good advice.
