Full size Binocular mount for our Cardiods and Premium Binaurals

How the full size Binocular mount works:
The system starts with a standard set of full-size binoculars. We then remove most of the optics to allow space for the microphones inside of the optic cavity of the binoculars. The eye pieces and their mounting surface and permanently bonded together to form a single piece assembly (see pics).

Two holes are provided in the front of the binoculars for the microphones to be mounted into. The mic elements extend just beyond the front surface of the binocular housing. In the rear of the housing, two slots are fabricated for the mic cables to exit the housing and run up and behind the neck strap. The mic cables are held in place with elastic bands behind the neck strap. The mic cables run along the back of the strap until they converge at the top of the strap, behind the users neck, where they can be tucked neatly inside a shirt or jacket.

The full size Binocular mount is designed so that the microphones can be easily installed by the user, and is compatible with all Sound Professionals Cardioid and Premium Binaural microphones sold to date.

To install the mics, the user lifts off the top portion of the binoculars containing the eyepieces. Next, the microphones are threaded through the elastic loops on the back of the neck strap (much like threading a belt through belt loops on a pair of trousers). Then, the mics are placed inside the optic cavity so that their mic elements are just outside the body of the binoculars. Once the mics are in place, the cables are inserted into the cable slots on the rear of the mic body and the eyepiece assembly is replaced on top of the binocular body.

The mics can be aimed by adjusting the binocular angle, much as you would adjust real binoculars to fit the distance between your eyes.

The binocular mics are worn around the neck, just like you would wear regular binoculars. You don't hold the binocular up to your eyes while recording. The mics are attached to your recorder or battery module in the exact same manner as they would without the mount.

Mini Binocular mount for Cardiods and Binaurals

How the mini Binocular mount works:
The system starts with a set of mini binoculars. We then remove most of the optics to allow space for the microphones inside of the optic cavity of the binoculars.

The mic elements extend just beyond the front surface of the binocular housing. The mic cables exit the housing in the rear and are used in place of the neck strap. The mic cables converge behind the users neck, where they can be tucked neatly inside a shirt or jacket.

The mini Binocular mount differs from the full size mount in that the mics are installed permanently by our technicians. They can not be removed. However, because the mic elements remain outside the housing in the front, you can still change the elements (on models that have this feature).

The mics can be aimed by adjusting the binocular angle, much as you would adjust real binoculars to fit the distance between your eyes.

The binocular mics are worn around the neck, just like you would wear regular binoculars. You don't hold the binoculars up to your eyes while recording. The mics are attached to your recorder or battery module in the exact same manner as they would without the mount.


Features:
- Microphone bodies contained completely inside mini binoculars
- only elements are visible
- Microphones are mounted in binoculars permanently
- Available for all Cardioid and Binaural mics
- Mic cables run behind neck

Note:
Microphones are not included-purchase separately

Price:
The price of the mini Binocular mounting system is $199 plus shipping.
