The Rycote Softie Lyre Mount with MHR replaces the built-in or accessory mic mount on your camera. It includes three sets of metric screws as well, which allow it to be connected directly to most common camcorders, including the Panasonic DVX-series, Sony NXCAM, DSR, HVR, PMW and HDR-series, many Canon X-series models and more.
The mount uses Rycote's patented Lyre technology and the durable W-shaped Lyre clips are made of hard-wearing and heat-resistant thermoplastic. Plus, the mic clip dramatically reduces the effects of unwanted noise caused by vibrations. The mount is particularly effective at reducing or eliminating lens motor and cable-borne noise. It can also be rotated and tilted freely on any axis, and may be stored in bags with a mic still fitted. The mount can be removed quickly as well.
Although many camcorders have built-in or add-on microphone holders or clamps allowing users to attach high-quality shotgun or rifle mics to their camcorders, these are susceptible to camera and general handling noise, and do little or nothing to attenuate vibrations passing through connected video and microphone cables. The new Softie Lyre Mount with MHR replaces built-in or accessory camera mounts or clamps, and is supplied with three sets of metric screws (20mm-long M2.5, M3 and M4 types), allowing the mount to be connected directly to many common camcorders, such as the Panasonic DVX-series, Sony NXCAM, DSR, HVR, PMW and HDR-series, and many Canon X-series models.
