Post subject:  Help: Helmet Microphone cover

Hi all,

Im sure this has come up before but what is used for Hudson's helmet microphone cover?

It sure doesn't look like foam, more like thread, and I could use advise where/what to look for in getting the same.

Thank you!

I don't know exactly what was used on-screen, but I took a black childs mitten and cut one of the fingers off and shortened it down till it fit over the mic. Looks pretty close to what's on screen for me. :)

Try looklng for braid Hose that’s what is used on car cables,you can find it in many different colors sizes,

That works just fine for me,hope that helps.

Or you can also use a tube cover from a hydration bladder like from camelback and turn it inside out becouse there always black on the inside and they fray at the ends.

Most accurate looking item I've found?........I rectangle of old black T-shirt superglued to the MIC.

Post subject:  Oo

Great idea Nick! Don't know if I could superglue it to my Beyer though :-D Could tape it on the hidden side I suppose!

Double sided tape?

Yeah could do. I've been keeping an eye out on felt tip pens that have grips too.

maybe one or two layers of heatshrink tubing, keeps the water out of the mic also.

Just wanted to share the options I went with, maybe give everyone a few new (and cheap) ideas.

The first was a sheet of felt that I got at a local kids art supply store. Worked quite well. Gave good texture. Cost: 50 cent.

The second idea I had worked a lot better I feel. 1 inch sports injury muscle tape! Has great linear horizontal pattern and is adhesive! Cost: 2 euro for a roll from China.

Photo attached (with flash on to show textures of materials)
