Hide-a-mic B_Flex – IBC 2018

At IBC 2018 in Amsterdam, Hide-a-mic were showing the new B_Flex, which was designed so that you can easily apply a lavalier microphone directly to the body without worrying about any fabric touching the microphone. The Hide-a-mic Flex creates a physical space around the microphone so that good sound quality can be maintained.

The B_Flex is handmade with skin friendly silicone rubber. By using one piece of medical tape the B_Flex will stay securely on a person for a complete shooting day.

The B_Flex is designed for Sanken COS11 mics and DPA 4060/4071 series but will hold any other mic with the same dimensions. The Hide-a-mic B_Flex will start shipping from shortly for €20.
