Testimonials
“I just want to say that URSA Thigh Straps have been an absolute god send on this last job. Costume department and actors love them. It’s URSA all the way on HBO’s Strike Back 6. Ingenious! Thank you Simon and the URSA team for continuing to push the envelope. Making our lives a little bit easier in the face of adversity, on fast paced multi camera shows.”
“The gripper on the URSA Thigh Strap is a great addition, as slippy straps can be a problem and the cable keeper on the waist straps is really practical. Great collaboration between sound and costume, designed by the users, used by the designers.”
“Having Amanda Seyfried exclaim with joy and nerd out over the Thigh Strap when mic’ing her up, saying how much she loves the products and feels like she’s not wearing anything was fantastic to hear!”
“Fire. The wheel. Indoor plumbing. The internet. The URSA Thigh Strap, particularly the Thigh Side design. Just a few of mankind’s greatest inventions.”
“This strap is excellent. I love how you can fit the transmitter in sideways so the antenna follows the direction of the strap. This a very suitable option when a waist or ankle strap isn't a viable, like when fitting a mic into a dress with a short skirt.”
“As a Sound Assistant in High End Film and TV, I've used URSA thigh straps many times. It's the best viable option for when a performer is wearing a dress. It's easy to use and the costume department like them too.”
“These are incredible! I'm a pretty green location sound recordist and have worked on a few short films, and these thigh straps work so well. The cast really don't mind wearing them as they're so soft and comfortable, and the transmitters feel really safe in the pouches. The material against the skin means it doesn't slip down so that's also really safe. It's great to see URSA on Amazon now as well, so if I'm in need of a last minute strap I can get it ordered and delivered on Prime!”
“I use it to wire up the bride. Elastic, comfortable to wear according to the bride and forget after a short time that this strap and microphone are tied around her thigh. White - a must! The “anti-slip” surface on the inside ensures optimum grip when the belt is tight. That is also the point: so that you don't lose your gut while running, it is necessary to attach it tightly to the bride. All in all worthwhile and my first choice for securing the sound at the wedding ceremony. The medically safe, hypoallergenic materials used also calm the bride, should that be an issue.”
“As a wedding videographer, I’ve tried a bunch of ways to mic up brides and anyone wearing a dress, and these thigh straps are by far the best solution I’ve found. They stay in place all day, are super comfortable for my clients, and I’ve never had anyone complain about them. I’ve washed them over and over and they still stick like new. Total game changer for wedding days.”
“It’s the perfect piece of equipment for wedding filmmaking. It’s allowed me to mic the brides I work with in a way I could’ve never done before. It’s easy to use, I generally entrust my assistant or the maid of honor with putting it on. Functionally it’s perfect for its use case. The white color is great for hiding within the dress as well. I haven’t had anyone mention discomfort or trouble putting on the thigh strap. Overall 5/5.”
“Works great! Used this to mic up a bride during a wedding, and it stayed strapped for hours!”
“This thigh strap has a good amount of stretch to it, making it comfortable and easy to get on and off again as and when needed. The material is light and breathable, making it comfortable to wear for extended periods, while also feeling quite durable, so I would expect it to last a good few years. I do think it's a bit on expensive side for what it is at £34.99, which was the price at time of writing, but it does a job.”
“Used this for several weddings, made attaching a microphone to the bride a breeze.”
FAQs
What is the difference between a sideways pouch and a standard pouch?
A sideways pouch holds the transmitter horizontally across the thigh, which can be more discreet under fitted or short garments (like miniskirts), whereas a standard pouch holds the pack vertically.
Will this strap slip down my leg during movement?
No - The strap uses a unique polyurethane gripper fabric that grips gently against the skin or clothing to stop downward movement.
Is it comfortable for long use?
Yes — the fabric is hypoallergenic and breathable, reducing irritation when worn directly against skin over extended periods.
What transmitters fit this pouch?
It fits many popular transmitters from brands like Wisycom, Shure, Sennheiser, Sound Devices, Sony, Zaxcom, Lectrosonics, Deity, Tascam and more — always check your unit’s measurements first.
