URSA Shorties - Costume Shorts with 3 Built-In Transmitter Pouches
URSA Shorties are womens’ shapewear shorts engineered with 3 built‑in pouches for secure transmitter rigging under costumes, skirts, dresses and fitted outfits — ideal when other harnesses or straps might be visible or impractical.
- Discreet, Low‑Profile Fit: Form‑fitting shapewear that stays snug under tight or stylish costumes without visible lines. Built‑in transmitter pouches eliminate the need for separate straps, belts, or clips that might show through clothing.
- Three Strategic Pouches: Two inner leg pouches and one lower back pouch provide flexible placement options depending on costume and camera angles. Each pouch includes secure popper closures and can hold transmitters with the aerial pointing up or down for optimal fit.
- Comfortable Stretch Fabric: Soft and breathable lycra fabric ensures a comfortable fit for performers during long shoots and active movement. Stretch knit construction allows the garment to move with the wearer without restricting motion.
- Colour Options: Black, Beige, Brown — choose the best match for different costume and skin tones.
The design combines a soft, stretchy lycra fabric with strategically placed pockets: one pouch on each inner leg and one on the lower back.
Broad Transmitter Compatibility
Shorties’ built‑in pouches work with most popular wireless transmitters and IEM packs from top brands, such as: Wisycom, Sound Devices, Shure, Sennheiser, Sony, Zaxcom, Lectrosonics, Deity, Tascam, QSX.

Testimonials
“Have used URSA Shorties on an actress for a very long stretch of a series and would happily endorse the crap out of it 👌🏽 happy actress, no fuss, easy micing and our standbys didn’t have to worry about slippage or wires. Shape of pant is also a bonus, can confirm it looks good under fitted pencil skirts etc. Will be buying for my kit regardless!”
“We have been using a pair of URSA Shorties for our lead actress since September. Essential kit! Costume and Cast absolutely love them and they are so low profile you can get a mic rigged on even the tightest of costumes.”
“These URSA shorties arrived in a ziplock bag and looked a bit small at first glance, but the material is high quality, nicely made, and has a lot of flexibility. I went with the XL for my UK size 16, and although I was initially doubtful, they fit well and are really comfortable.They also have discreet pouches that can hold microphones, which would be handy for anyone in performance settings. I wore them under a skirt for tennis and badminton, and they stayed in place and felt breathable throughout. At £36, they’re a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and fit feel worth it.”
“The shapewear arrived really well-packaged, with everything neatly folded and protected, making it feel like a quality item from the start. The material is soft but firm, offering good support without feeling restrictive or uncomfortable. I was impressed with how well it stays in place throughout the day – no rolling or bunching, which is a big plus. The fit is snug and form-fitting, giving a smooth look under clothes without being overly noticeable.Overall, it’s a fantastic option for comfortable, everyday wear, with thoughtful packaging and a design that actually delivers on its promises. Highly recommended for anyone wanting subtle, effective shapewear!”
“These are really comfortable for cast to wear and there are so many options for where to insert the transmitter! Also lots of spaces to keep your cables tidy.”
