Rode invisiLav Discreet Skinsafe Mounting System for Lavalier Microphones, 3 Pack

These work so well so far! They make it possible to hid the lav under clothing, but protect the mic from the rustling sounds of clothes rubbing up against it. Even the tape it came with, which to be honest I didn't have high hopes for (it didn't seem very sticky and was a little hard to get attached to the the plastic of the mount), was super great. It stuck to my skin and stayed there for the better part of an hour. I'll probably pick up a few more of these just to make sure I have them in stock.

These things are pretty sweet. Let me start by saying, I don't have a Rode Mic. I actually am using this with my Sennheiser EW 112P mics, which to be fair are a little on the big side for this system, but it still works. I read one review that said it bulges, and it definitely does, but if you only put it in about half way, you don't get as bad of a bulge and it gives the outcome I was hoping for, which was a way to hide the mic without getting rubbing noise. I don't love the tape that comes with it, and I almost gave 4 stars because of that, but it does hold fairly well. I'll probably put a small strip of gaff tape over the rubber to help hold it in place, or as a replacement to the tape they provide all together, just in case, but that is really my only drawback for these. I think for larger work where you're going to be able to place it directly on the skin, it's perfect, but at that point, I'd probably use a boom mic anyway. For run and gun, it's not gonna be ideal, but then again, that depends on how you set it up, but if you're doing sit down interviews and can run the mic, it holds to clothes pretty well. I haven't noticed any sound issues placing the mic only half way in, which was my biggest concern since I knew up front the mic was a little big. Another thing I think this would be great for is weddings actually. I have filmed a few, and I know some brides/grooms hate to see the mic and rubbing noise defeats the purpose of having the lav on the groom. I'd again add a strip of gaff tape for extra support, but in the end this would be awesome for that kind of work since you can tape it directly on the inside of the lapel and not have any rubbing issues! In my opinion, for under $20, these are outstanding additions for any audio kit.

These only work with Rode brand mics

For what it is, this product is way over priced and the tape tabs included do not properly adhere to the silicone (comes off the silicone!) I had to waste a bunch of them to make one stick. The silicone covers have too smooth of a surface for the sticky tabs to adhere reliably and they detach and fall off! As mentioned by other reviewers, the best solution here is to use other adhesive tapes; but it's best to use the double sided toupe tape over the silicone tab and simply pin it down to the talent's chest. Kinda nuts but it's more secure that way than with the existing unreliable tape tabs. The current configuration, while ideal theoretically, sucks in practice. But thankfully there's an alternative with other tapes.

The RODE invisiLav is an amazing item to have on a small production set, as not only is it cheap and affordable; it gets the job done! What else could you ask for!? I highly recommend to any purchases to order more Clear-sided skin safe "wig" tape, as it doesn't come with nearly enough in the box at purchase.

Nice idea that doesn't actually work. I still get terrible noise from clothing rubbing using this.

This is not a piece I use everyday, but it's much more professional than mounting with moleskin or gaffer's tape. I love the ability to double mount lavs for second audio. I use this with toupee tape as mentioned in other reviews, and it works great.

It works well to hide the mic on subjects, but the double sided tape provided didn't seem to stick to the invisilav, its ok, I cut my own anyway that worked.

Excellent produit et diminue les frottements.

Excellent product. I’m a professional audio engineer and would 100% recommend this product 👍🏽 A bit of a struggle getting the mic into the capsule, just take ur time tho.

¡Cumple lo que promete! Oculta el micro, absorbe ruidos, vibraciones y es fácil de usar. Contenido de la caja: - Guía de inicio rápido. - Toallita de limpieza húmeda. - 3 invisiLav - Pegatinas Descripción. Cada invisiLav es una pieza de silicona. Un material suave al tacto y de tamaño adecuado para hacer desaparecer el micrófono. El producto está muy bien diseñado. Contiene dos ranuras para micrófonos (yo uso solamente uno) y al costado tiene unas aberturas para la manipulación de cables. No uso esta abertura para cables pero está bien tenerla por si acaso. Con el paquete de tres me vale perfectamente para los video educativos que produzco. Opinión y experiencia de uso. No afecta la calidad de grabación del micrófono. Lo pegas a la piel o la ropa y no se crea el tipico ruido del roce. Es reutilizable, aunque para ello necesitas adhesivo de dos caras que fácilmente puedes adquirir. Lo he usado en verano y al sudar se ha despegado. En estas condiciones recomiendo pegarlo a la camisa antes que al cuerpo. Un poco caro pero merece la pena. Te evitas invertir tiempo en editar ruidos de fondos en post-producción. Con los micrófonos SmartLav de Rode funciona perfecto, con otros de otra marca no lo se. Nota: Al leer los comentarios observo que vienen 10 pegatinas pero a mi solamente me aparecieron 8. Seguramente un error por parte de Rode.

I though the product was very interesting at first, well built. And I had heard good reviews as well. Very simple to use. You insert your lav in the little silicone device and you tape it on your skin or your shirt and you are good to go! (You receive few pieces of tape with the package, but you definitely need to buy some more if you use it on a regular base). But the audio result were quite disappointing. The only advantage of this over a regular wind screen and clip, is that you can put it anywhere under the clothing. But when the actor was moving his arms, or laying on the ground (for a yoga video...), There would be a lot of undesirable sounds. Even the clothes moving over the mic were making noise. I ended up buying bobby pins and hiding the mic in the air of the actor! I get a bit more background sound... BUT no phasing or dynamic issues (Since the mic is always at the same distance from the mouth). And no noises of any kind! So I don't know... maybe there is a magic trick on how to place it so it works. On my part, I tried many different placements without any successful attempt.

Es funktioniert einwandrei und schützt das Mikrophon von Kratzgeräuschen, wenn es unter der Kleidung aufgelebt wird. Die Oberfläche ist nicht ganz glatt, was das anheften des Klebbandes leicht beeintächtigt. Hilft dagegen wieder, um es abzunehmen.
