The Wildtronics Pro Mini Parabolic will transform an omnidirectional microphone into a shotgun-like microphone, but with better isolation and reach.
Boost your microphone for dramatically improved reach and isolation. Parabolic reflectors provide gain, so you can reach subjects that are outside the range of other microphones, including shotgun microphones.
Fits most omnidirectional microphones less than 26mm in diameter. We recommend using omnidirectional microphones for best results. You can use cardioid microphones, if you use the included seal to cover the vents on the side of the microphone. The kit comes with adapters for 19-26mm pencil style microphones and most lavalier microphones.
Critically optimized small parabolic reflector specifically designed for great sound. Normally, small parabolic systems have very poor low frequency response and an overly peaked high frequency response, causing poor performance with human voice. Wildtronics designed the curvature, size, and focal point of the parabola, plus pointed the microphone outward to minimize low frequency loss, resulting in great sound. This means that even your voice recordings will sound surprisingly well.
Your choice of two, 11.5-inch, truly parabolic reflectors. Choose between the very flexible, 0.030-inch thick, durable, clear 100% polycarbonate reflector, or the lower cost, black ABS, paintable, Mini Black Ops reflector.
Ultra lightweight. Total weight, without microphone, is just under 7 ounces. Perfect for effortless hand held use or mounting on a camera hot-shoe, with an available adapter.
Ideal for use as a stereo pair parabolic microphone. Due to the small size, light weight, and wider polar angle, it is now practical to make true parabolic stereo recordings. You can point the two parabolic reflectors independently or maintain a fixed angle. Our Mini Stereo Bar is specifically designed to hold two Pro Minis in a superbly balanced combination with a total weight of just over a pound.
Handle and hub are machined from high strength, industrial nylon for lifetime durability.
Handle base has metal 1/4-20 threads for easy tripod/hotshoe mounting.
Accessory bar mount provision. The accessory mount will allow you to mount our Mini-Accessory Bar directly to the handle. The Mini-Accessory Bar can hold a small, hand-held recorder for quick easy use with just one short cable to your microphone.
Wildtronics Performance Series Microphones fit perfectly. The Micro Mic PIP, Micro Mic XLR, Amplified Omni, and Mini Stereo PIP microphones are low noise and are excellent microphones.
Low cost alternative to full sized parabolic reflectors. The Pro Mini is great for less demanding applications where light weight, size, and cost are more important.
