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.”
“Wearing this vest makes managing multiple wireless packs incredibly simple. I've used it on a couple of jobs where I needed to be miked up with a transmitter and also carry a receiver for monitoring. The vest keeps everything secure and distributed, so you don't feel weighed down on one side. The material is very breathable and fits snugly under a jacket or even a loose shirt without being obvious. The beige colour works well under lighter clothing. The pouches are well-placed and hold the transmitters securely. It’s far more comfortable and practical than trying to clip multiple packs onto a belt or waistband. It feels like a professional piece of kit designed by someone who understands the challenges of location sound work.”
“Really good. I normally use the waist belts, but the elastic is temperamental depending on the users size and they don't hold the mic packs secure. This has inbuilt pockets that keep everything held firm, and so far I haven't heard any material rustles or artefacts coming through in the audio.”
