The 'Top Gear Rig' - A Secure, Wind Resistant, Belt & Braces LAV Mic Rig | URSA Tips & Tricks.

We learnt this trick from the great Kiff McManus who we recently interviewed on this Channel. It's well worth a watch for some fascinating stories and useful tricks employed while working on Top Gear, The Grand Tour and most recently the Feature Film "Boiling Point."

In this rig Simon Bysshe from URSA demonstrates how a DPA microphone is more sensitive on one side compared to the other and how this can be utilised to capture the cleanest audio on set. We also demonstrate a way to use sticky tape as a protective layer against wind noise and some neat tricks for holding the mic in place to avoid it becoming ripped off in the heat of the action.

Filmed in Madrid during our URSA Workshop Tour of Spain with See Sound AV - we were overwhelmed by this fantastic location for a workshop! A huge, quiet, acoustically still mixing stage all for us to play around in all day!

We are currently editing a load more videos from our tour of Spain. So please stay tuned for more.
