Affordable but offering excellent, effective protection against wind noise, our standard Mini Windjammers are easy-to-fit slip-on fur covers for use when recording outside with the built-in microphones found on portable cameras, external camera mics and handheld reporter microphones. Some have 10 mm fur, while others have 25 mm Softie fur for use in more unsettled conditions, and can be fitted to a wide variety of devices
Specifically developed to fit Rycote Mic Foam Windshields, our Mini Windjammers™ offer enhanced wind noise protection in low to moderate conditions. Made of high-quality synthetic fur cover, the Mini Windjammer provides up to 10dB additional noise protection, achieving a total of up to 30dB wind noise attenuation when fitted over a Rycote Foam Windshield, with virtually no adverse effect on high frequency sounds. The Mini Windjammer is available in a wide range of sizes to accomodate any type of Rycote Mic Foam windshields
Personal microphones, sometimes known as tie-pin or lavalier microphones, suffer from wind noise on location like any other microphone, but also from clothing rustle. Rycote's Lavalier Windjammers, Undercovers, Overcovers and Stickies offer complete protection for lavalier microphones, whether mounted on or under clothing.
The InVision™ Studio Kit is a complete suspension and pop filter system, which combines the Universal Studio Mount (USM) with a new Universal Pop Filter to make a complete vocal microphone suspension and pop filter system that will accommodate virtually any microphone. The Pop Filter is designed to lock tightly on the USM's outer support ring, where it can be left while mics are quickly and easily swapped in the USM. Rycote's Studio Kit is fast and easy to use, and has also proved harder-wearing, more vibration-resistant and better at protecting your mic from vocal pops and thumps without high-frequency loss, than any traditional elasticated microphone suspensions. If you record vocals, you owe it to yourself to try one. Go for the Universal solution, and let the Studio Kit rock your vox!
Part of the larger InVision range of noise-reducing microphone shock-mounts, Rycote's InVision models 1 to 10, also known as InVision Broadcast, are designed for discreet, low-profile on-camera use in broadcast studio environments where windshielding is not required. The InVision Broadcast mounts feature Rycote's latest Lyre suspension systems to offer broadcast professionals the cleanest possible sound, freed from unwanted cable or stand-borne noise. They may be used with microphones mounted on desks, stands or boom poles, or suspended mics.
Suitable for most camera-mounted shotgun microphones, the stylish Miniscreen™ and Miniscreen Windjammer provide a low profile slip-on windshielding, with excellent wind protection of up to 30 dB. The Miniscreen is a rigid, blimp-style windshield that is slipped onto the front of the microphone. Made from a laminated combination of netting and fabric material, the miniscreen provides a snug fit to the microphone and offers up to 18 dB wind-noise attenuation when used on its own. The Miniscreen Windjammer further attenuates wind-noise by an additional 12 dB when fitted on top of the Miniscreen, whilst maintaining a very discreet appearance. The Windjammer is manufactured from short black synthetic fur, with a silk liner.
This slip-on 2-part foam cavity windshield is tough enough to withstand the rigours of modern day ENG and location recording, whilst still being practical. Constructed of specially designed open-cell acoustic foam base and covered by a thin foam outer skin, Smoothies offer up to 22 dB of wind-noise reduction without any adverse effect on High-Frequency. In addition, the foam used is not susceptible to UV or moisture damage, giving this product great longevity. Available in a colourful selection, these windshields have the option of logo printing, allowing you to extend your branding, for a small cost.
Foam windshields are essential accessories for virtually every microphone, whether in use indoors or outside.
Indoors, a good windshield helps to prevent loud popping sounds being created when the air from the 'p' and 't' sounds in speech or sung vocals reach the microphone's diaphragm. Outdoors, even a light breeze can cause severe distortion and intermittent popping sounds as it strikes the microphone's diaphragm, but this can be reduced or prevented altogether with a decent windshield.
Made to offer the wind attenuation properties of a full sized windshield in a much smaller package, Baby Ball Gags are designed to slip onto the body of the microphone. This allows the microphone to be hand-held or shock-mounted with a Lyre suspension. Perfect for short microphones, Baby Ball Gags are suitable for low-profile boom applications as well as for use in hand-held operations and interviews. They are widely used for microphones with bulbous ends and ORTF microphone pairs, where the maximum head diameter is 80 mm.
The Softie System provides a quick, simple, robust and cost effective windshield for the tough environment of modern day ENG and location recording. The Softie Windshield is a slip-on open-cell foam, with integral fur cover. The Softie will reduce wind-noise, protect your mic and is the standard world wide in TV. Softie windshields are available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular shotgun microphones.
The S-Series Kit retains all the flexibility, balance and professional performance that you can expect from a Rycote system, only simplified for ease of use. Lightweight with a minimum of parts and tough enough to withstand the rigours of ENG, the S-Series is ready to use straight out of the box. This robust kit incorporates the patented Lyre suspension and integral fur windshield "Pods" that can be removed easily and quickly, to access the microphone. Additional pods may be purchased to suit longer or shorter microphones, adding a valuable versatility to this kit.
This versatile kit contains a shock-mount attachment suitable for video cameras, booms and stands, as well as excellent windshielding from a Miniscreen™ and Windjammer. Videographers wishing to record audio in a number of different situations, whilst minimising handling and wind noise, can now do so by adding this kit for their camera bag.
The Full Windshield Kit is now also available for Stereo pairs. This complete modular system can be configured to allow almost any stereo pairs, single shank stereo microphones, and stereo capsule microphones to be shock-mounted and provided with varying degrees of windshielding. Components may be ordered separately, or as one of a series of kits, which simplify the selection process for many common configurations.
The Full Windshield Kit is the professionals' choice when maximum isolation from wind and handling noise is required. This complete modular system can be configured to allow almost any microphone to be shock-mounted and provided with varying degrees of windshielding. Components may be ordered separately, or as one of a series of kits, which simplify the selection process for many common configurations. A Full Windshield Kit is comprised of the following three main components: Modular Suspension, Modular Windshield and Windjammer.
A new Lyre-based suspension for portable recorders, the suspension offers excellent isolation from vibrations, shocks and handling noise. Featuring the new 1/4" to 3/8" Swivel Adaptor, the suspension fits any portable recorder with a 1/4" female thread. The suspension can then be mounted on a 3/8" male thread, mic stand or boom pole, or be attached to a camera hot shoe. The 180° swivel allows for easy orientation of the recorder so it can point in the exact direction of the speaker. The suspension uses the patented "Lyres" to give unequalled isolation & robustness. Unlike rubber or elastic suspensions the Lyre is unaffected by temperature extremes, and so can be used in the harshest of environments.
A combined Windshield and Suspension solution, the kit contains everything needed to protect a handheld digital recorder from outdoor wind noise, and also to isolate it from unwanted vibrations, whether from handling or stand-borne noise. It is aimed at journalists, film-makers, or anyone using a handheld digital recorder to make professional-quality audio recordings outdoors. It can be used location soundtracks or outside broadcast, or for simple audio podcasts or outdoor radio reporting.

Rycote now offers a range of Aluminium and Carbon Fibre Boom Poles. From 2.50m long, 5-section Boom Poles, available as coiled or non-coiled, to shorter 3-section Boom Poles, Rycote Boom Poles are the first choice for professionals. Featuring the same lightweight patented triple-cam 'grip and twist' locking system as the original A5 poles, and with no metal parts to add to their weight, the new G3 and G5 combine lightweight construction with great tensile strength. As on the A3 and A5, the locking mechanism is designed to be resistant to jamming when the pole is dirty; however, if necessary, the locking collars can be completely stripped down for cleaning in the field if required.
