A pretty handy use for the 8mm adaptors included with the Radius RAD MS Clip Kits 👀⁠
⁠
The Mikro Usi/Ucho fits snugly inside while still leaving enough room to attach the ultrasonic horn, a clever little setup from @rarefindssound 🙌⁠
⁠
We love seeing all the different ways people adapt and use Radius gear out in the field 🔥

“After a week of using the Radius Mini-ALTO, I can say that it is, without a doubt, the best all purpose suspension that I've ever used, and for a significantly lower price point than Rycote. Highly recommend.”⁠
⁠
Huge thanks to Ben and the team for the kind words and support 🙌⁠
⁠
The crew are now running two Mini-ALTO 300s with the Sanken CS3e and Schoeps CMIT on Season 3 of “Murder in a Small Town” in British Columbia, Canada 🎬⁠

⁠
⭐️PERFECT M/S STEREO MOUNTING - Designed for pairing 19–21 mm microphones in a precise mid-side stereo configuration.⁠
⁠
⭐️ ULTRA-CLOSE MIC SPACING - spacing of just 2.5mm, to minimise the gap between capsules.⁠
⁠
⭐️ FINE VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT - Built-in alignment screws allow perfect vertical positioning between both microphones.⁠
⁠
⭐️ SECURE ON-SET RELIABILITY - Integrated safety straps keep both mics firmly in place during use.⁠
⁠
⭐️ CONNECTOR-FRIENDLY DESIGN - Includes 8 mm inserts for MZL or Lemo connectors in the rear mic clips.⁠
⁠
⭐️ TWO SIZES AVAILABLE - Available in MS19 for ø19mm mics like the @Sennheiser MKH 8030/8040 pairs and MS20 for ø20/21 mm mics @Schoepsmikrofone CMC1, CMC6, CCM & MiniCMIT. Fits all current & future RAD hoops⁠
⁠
⭐️ SOOO COMAPCT - The most compact solution possible for location sound atmos and field recording

Built for precision and pushing boundaries — the Radius RAD-1 Shockmount paired in an M/S setup with the Sanken CMS-50 and Sanken CO-100K, capturing everything from rich stereo ambience to the hidden world of ultrasonics 🎙️⚡⁠

Big thanks to @sho.sh for letting us share this setup.🙌

What are Anti-Sway Bars? 👀⁠
⁠
Anti-sway bars are a simple add-on for your RAD Mount designed to reduce unwanted side-to-side movement, helping keep your microphone stable and your recordings clean, especially when booming in more dynamic situations.⁠
⁠
They work by adding extra lateral support to the mount, improving control and minimizing handling noise caused by sway or sudden movement.⁠
