Mic Flags
The idea was to take a boring product like a mic flag and engineer the heck out of it, make it beautiful, durable and incredibly versatile - success!
Rycote’s Microphone Flags are lightweight, sponsorship friendly and built for longevity. Our design team removed their weakest link – perishable foam inserts, replacing them with hard-wearing rubber vanes so they are just as effective tomorrow as they are today.
Rycote Mic Flags can be used with any microphones ranging from 19 to 38mm in diameter.
