Quick Mounting Shotgun Mic to Red Epic

[Joe Taylor]

How are you guys mounting shotgun mics to you camera bodies? Doing this on the fly and on short notice.

 

[Bob Gundu]

These are handy.

Bear in mind that's a very noisy place to put a microphone, even a really good shotgun mic. It's always better to have somebody physically place the mic closer to the actors, or use wireless mics on the actors' bodies, or both.

These work well for me

It helps to have a few extra places to bolt too like a top plate or similar.

I dig this!

David, when you have a minute, any chance you could please post a pic of your set-up to see how it looks?

Sure vincent,

I have been shooting with this lightweight setup for a while now. The leather straps are very strong (using them over a year now, and cut a ton of weight. This mic set-up folds now easy and back in the bag. Quick and simple, practical, for me.
