Professional Windshield System with Shock Mount
The 300 grey fur pg handle kit represents a complete microphone protection solution engineered for professional broadcast and field recording environments. This system combines the Mini-ALTO 300 windshield with the RAD-2 shock mount and pistol grip handle, creating a versatile platform for various recording scenarios.
Compact Design with Professional Performance
At just 85mm in diameter, the Mini-ALTO 300 delivers full-coverage wind protection in the smallest available professional format. The two-part magnetic pod construction enables rapid deployment between interior and exterior recording conditions. The included grey fur windcover provides up to 40dB of wind noise reduction, matching the performance of significantly larger traditional windshield systems.
The windshield achieves excellent acoustic transparency when used without the fur cover, making it suitable for indoor boom operation where airflow control is required without compromising frequency response. This dual functionality eliminates the need to carry separate indoor and outdoor wind protection systems.
RAD-2 Shock Mount Integration
The award-winning RAD-2 shock mount forms the foundation of this system, providing isolation from handling noise and mechanical vibrations. Three pairs of suspension hoops are included with different firmness ratings, allowing operators to optimize isolation characteristics for specific microphone weights and recording conditions.
The shock mount accommodates a wide range of professional microphones including the Audio-Technica AT897, Rode NTG2, NTG3, NTG4+, Sanken CS-3e, Schoeps CMIT 5 and Super CMIT, Sennheiser MKE600, MKH416, MKH60, and Sony ECM-674. This compatibility range covers most standard and short shotgun microphones used in professional broadcast applications.
Pistol Grip Handle and Accessories
The included pistol grip handle provides ergonomic support for handheld recording operations. The grip integrates directly with the RAD-2 mount, maintaining the shock isolation characteristics while offering comfortable operator control during extended recording sessions.
Additional system components include a smiley face adaptor for alternative mounting configurations, cable straps for secure cable management, and a magnetic windshield stowage holder with carabiner clip for convenient transport and storage between takes.
Workflow Integration
This kit addresses the operational requirements of location sound professionals who require rapid setup changes. The magnetic pod design allows the windshield to be removed and replaced in seconds, supporting smooth transitions between controlled and challenging acoustic environments.
The system proves particularly valuable in documentary and news gathering applications where recording conditions change frequently. The combination of effective wind protection, shock isolation, and quick reconfiguration supports efficient workflow management in demanding production schedules.
Construction and Durability
UK manufacturing ensures consistent quality and adherence to professional audio industry standards. The windshield construction utilizes materials selected for acoustic performance and field durability, while the RAD-2 mount incorporates precision engineering for reliable mechanical operation.
The grey fur windcover provides effective wind protection while maintaining appropriate acoustic characteristics. The fur material and attachment system are designed to withstand repeated field use while preserving wind rejection performance.
Professional Applications
This windshield system serves broadcast engineers, sound recordists, and production companies requiring reliable microphone protection in varying environmental conditions. The compact format makes it suitable for situations where larger windshield systems would be impractical, such as confined recording spaces or discrete documentation work.
The system accommodates both boom pole mounting and handheld operation, providing flexibility for different recording techniques and crew configurations. This versatility supports efficient equipment utilization across multiple production scenarios.
