For several years, Rycote InVision mounts have been available for narrow-barrelled shotgun and stick microphones in broadcast and videography applications, but not until 2010, and the release of the striking Universal Studio Mount (USM) was there an InVision™ shock-mount capable of accommodating large-diaphragm recording microphones for use in recording studios.
Like the other InVision mounts, the USM makes use of Rycote's patented vibration-resistant Lyre mount, but on this mount the W-shaped Lyres are placed around a central mounting ring with adjustable fasteners, allowing the USM to accommodate any microphone with a diameter of between 18 and 55 millimetres.
The Rycote USM updates the concept of the microphone suspension for the 21st century, completely omitting any elasticated parts and using modern materials to create a virtually indestructible shock-mount with a performance that far outstrips that of the humble 'cat's cradle' suspension. In controlled tests at the Rycote factory, the USM provided up to twice the isolation of traditional microphone suspension systems.

Rycote 045001 InVision Universal Pop Filter 6 inch vocal pop shield with universal suspension clamp rycote_045001 / RYC045001. The InVision Universal Pop Filter has been specifically designed to optimise vocal performances, utilising a custom mesh capable of attenuating low-frequency vocal pops and thumps by up to 20dB, and causes no audibly detectable high-frequency loss, unlike many ordinary nylon pop screens.
The pop filter's ergonomic frame is designed for placement near the mouth and face of a vocal artist, and fits a specially manufactured acoustic foam mesh filter, which can be removed for cleaning or replacement (spare foams are available separately).
The Pop Filter is designed to lock tightly on the USM's outer support ring, but will equally fit almost any other mic suspension thanks to its universal screw clamp.
The InVision Studio Kit is a complete suspension and pop filter system, which combines the Universal Studio Mount (USM) with a new Universal Pop Filter to make a complete vocal microphone suspension and pop filter system that will accommodate virtually any microphone. The Pop Filter is designed to lock tightly on the USM's outer support ring, where it can be left while mics are quickly and easily swapped in the USM.
Rycote’s Studio Kit is fast and easy to use, and has also proved harder-wearing, more vibration-resistant and better at protecting your mic from vocal pops and thumps without high-frequency loss, than any traditional elasticated microphone suspensions. If you record vocals, you owe it to yourself to try one. Go for the Universal solution, and let the Studio Kit rock your vox!

Rycote Special 80 Mini Windjammer (p/n 055308) rycote_055308 / RYC055308. Please Note: Microphone NOT included
Suitable for use over a windshield of 50x80mm, this windjammer provides excellent noise filtration in high wind environments, using the specially designed synthetic fur. It is an ideal match for many built-in microphones, external mics and reporter mics.
If you use microphones outdoors regularly, you'll know that wind conditions are often bad enough that a simple foam microphone windshield isn't enough to prevent the sound of the wind disrupting your recordings.
Rycote's larger products, such as the Softie kit or full-scale modular windshields are excellent solutions for larger microphones, but if you only need to protect a small microphone from the wind, such as the built-in mic on a camcorder or handheld digital recorder, you don't need one of these customised, expensive solutions — a Mini Windjammer® will suffice.
These simple, easy-to-fit products are made from synthetic fur designed to absorb the impact of the wind so that it doesn't reach your microphone and are available in a variety of types, with different fur lengths. Some may even be added over the top of the existing foam windshield on a handheld microphone to afford extra protection from the wind.
