LDstudios Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Turns out the good, innovative people from the 'old' Rycote aren't actually far away! ...in every sense of the word. Not road tested, but an interesting development! Quote
Simon Hayes Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 Radius are a first class company, run by the family that originally set up Rycote until it was sold a few years ago. Radius are innovating constantly, asking question from the UK sound community and sending products out for beta testing in every genre: documentary, reality, TV drama and feature films. Quote
Mikro Addict Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 I have over a dozen Rycote blimps in various sizes. Let me know if you are interested. m Quote

LDstudios Posted March 9 Author Report Posted March 9 None thus far, but DMS with 8040/8030 is the plan. There are a bunch of photos online of M/S and DMS clips for Radius mounts, so I am patiently holding out that they might sell them separately. Otherwise I'll 3D print a DMS clip to mount in the middle. Quote

Otherwise I'll 3D print a DMS clip to mount in the middle. My MS and DMS clips are, I suspect, among those you are referring to. I've been helping Radius with their MS clip, which will be in production soon; but they have no plans for a DMS clip at present. I developed the 3d-printed DMS clip as a slightly tongue-in-cheek exercise for the Mini-ALTO (which uses the hoops, of course), but when using DMS in my Cyclone I must admit I use the Rycote DMS set up. Cheers, Roland PS Here is a link to my blog-post about the MS and DMS clips, which has links to the freely available files: https://drbadphil.com/3d-printing-clips-for-the-radius-windshield-hoops Quote
Roland Harris Posted June 29 Report Posted June 29 And just to add that Radius have now got their injection-moulded clips (19mm and 20mm versions) into production. I received a pair of the 19mm ones the other day (photos below showing with and without the rubber straps): happy to make my 3d-printed ones redundant! Cheers, Roland Quote
The Documentary Sound Guy Posted June 30 Report Posted June 30 Very nice. Looks like a very full zeppelin. My MS setup is the original diameter MKH series, and I suspect they'd be too big to fit. Have they also created a DMS clip? Quote

Yes, the MKH 30 + MKH20/40/50 etc. MS pairs are too large for the RAD-2 hoops and Mini-ALTO: though the upcoming ALTO should work for them. No DMS clip for the Mini-ALTO yet. I have designed and 3d-printed a couple of DMS options for the RAD-2 hoops (photo of one below), which work fine, but, to be honest, aren't ideal in a Mini-ALTO: unlike with MS, with DMS the fig 8 needs to be between the pair of hoops and, consequently, its sideways facing lobes face the chunky pair of plastic rings where the two windshield halves (pods) join - not good.
