Description
A flexible and light solution
For a team doing on-location interviews, especially outdoors, it is important to have professional tools that make the entire process easy and flexible enough for any situation.
When you’re doing distance interviewing inside or out, the 4097 CORE Interview Kit gets you up and running quickly and easily. No extra equipment. No complicated setup. No workflow changes. A lighter, more flexible solution lightens your bag and eases your work.
Interview at (more than) arm’s length using the 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Mic attached to an extremely lightweight telescope boom. It doesn’t get any easier or lighter (330 g (11.6 oz) without transmitter). The solution collapses down to only about 40 cm (16 in) and extends all the way to 140 cm (55 in)
The 4097 CORE Interview Kit includes:
- 1 4097 CORE Micro Shotgun Microphone (4097-DC-G-B00-010)
- 1 MicroDot Cable 2.2 mm (.09 in), 1.8 m (5.9 ft) (CM2218B00)
- 1 Plate for transmitter
- 1 Velcro strap 330 mm (13 in)
- 1 Cold Shoe Mount with standard 1/4 in thread (CS4099)
- 1 Rycote Windjammer (Rycote 055427, DPA 4099 Mini Windjammer)
- 1 Telescope Boom (Manfrotto MPCOMPACT-BK)
Clip your existing transmitter into the holder at the bottom of the pole, connect it via a wireless DPA adapter (not included) and you are ready to go. For larger transmitters or extra security, a Velcro strap is included.
You can even move the transmitter plate to the end of the handle, if preferred.
For XLR connections, you can use the DAD6001-BC Adapter for MicroDot to 3-pin XLR with Belt Clip (not included).
