Mini-ALTO Add-On Kit

Specifically engineered for location sound professionals, the Radius Add-on Kit allows you to expand your existing gear without the need to purchase an entirely new suspension. This comprehensive set features an innovative 2-part magnetic ‘pod’ windshield that snaps together instantly, along with the ‘Smiley Face’ adaptor for seamless connection to your RAD shock mount. To ensure maximum versatility, the kit also includes a premium removable fur windcover and a magnetic stowage holder with a carabiner, making it easy to keep your windshield accessible on your harness or bag. It is the ideal, cost-effective solution for sound recordists who need professional-grade wind protection that can be deployed in seconds.

Key Features

• Instant Magnetic Assembly: Features a 2-part magnetic pod design for lightning-fast setup and removal.

• Complete Wind Protection: Includes both the structural pods and a removable fur windcover for extreme conditions.

• Smart Stowage: Comes with a magnetic holder and carabiner clip to keep the windshield secure and within reach when not in use.

• Ultra-Lightweight: Designed to maintain the balance of your boom pole while adding high-performance wind isolation.

• Modular Compatibility: Uses the ‘Smiley Face’ adaptor to integrate perfectly with your existing RAD Shock Mount.

The Mini-ALTO windshield system has been designed to be fast and easy-to-use with almost all small condenser, short shotgun and standard shotgun sized microphones. With a diameter of just 85mm, the Mini-ALTO is the smallest “full-coverage” zeppelin windshield available in the professional audio recording industry. Even at this size, the Mini-ALTO will achieve wind reduction for up to -40dB with its included fur cover, which is comparable to larger pill-shaped windshields.
