X Strap
The URSA X Strap is a specialised upper-body strap designed as a single solid unit with no Velcro, making it extremely durable, secure and easy to fit. Simple pull the X Strap over your head and it sits comfortably around the chest and over the shoulders.
Ideal for theatre, live sports wiring & film production where you need super secure, non-slip mic+transmitter rigs on performers.
- All-In-One Chest Strap / Back Strap Design: Constructed as a solid, continuous unit without Velcro, enhancing durability and stability during extreme movement or active use. The X-strap shape distributes weight evenly across shoulders and chest for comfortable extended wear.
- Integrated Mic & Transmitter Pouches: Four mic pouches along the chest hold lavalier microphones such as DPA 6060 & 4060 diameter mics securely. One pouch designed for an URSA MiniMount and a larger pouch for bigger lavs like the Sanken RM11. Two smaller pouches on each shoulder strap offer alternative side-mounted positions for additional mic packs.
- Built-In Cable Management: Internal cable sleeves help route and secure cables neatly along the harness - keeping wires out of the way and reducing accidental tugs or noise.
- Comfortable, Breathable Fabric: Made with soft, skin-friendly materials and engineered for professional use, the strap stays comfortable even during long wardrobe sessions or performances.

Testimonials
“We were filming footballers running around training. We used URSA X Straps, they were great. The transmitter was really high up and the range was clear. We ended up having the mics on the front, using DPAs. We got a whole days filming on one mic placement, instead of constantly changing rigs with costumes they kept X Straps on and were able to change their costumes. It was brilliant, they worked really well.”
“Excellent product, perfect for theatrical performers with lots of costume changes and movement.Very comfortable to wear and great for wire management too. Our sound department loved it.”
“This mic pack holder was used in a recent stage production where the lead had many costume changes throughout the show. It worked well because it kept the microphone pack and cords on the actor instead of having to take the pack out of a pocket or attached to a belt-line. The performer said that it was fairly comfortable and basically non-irritating. It should be hand-washed after any long use, especially if the performer sweats heavily. It was easy enough to put on, over the head like a t-shirt. It is easier to put in the mic pack after getting the holder on the body, so a second set of hands makes the process easier. The strap material is very stretchy and held the mic pack in place without a problem. In terms of performance, this mic pack worked excellently and made quick changes in our show much easier and faster.”
“URSA makes fantastic products, and this is no exception. The fabric and stitching are of great quality, and upon inspection there are no areas of concern related to manufacturing quality. I plan to use this with my Rode Wireless Go 3 and Lavalier Go lavs for stable and discrete recording. The material is thin stretchy and comfortable. The bands are a little high under the armpit, but not uncomfortable, and it does help minimize any movement or creep once positioned.”

FAQs
What makes the URSA X Strap different from other URSA straps?
The URSA X Strap is a single solid unit with no Velcro, designed for upper-body mic and transmitter mounting— unlike waist or back straps. Its built-in cable sleeves and multiple pouches make it ideal for managing multiple mic placements on torso/shoulders.
What mics fit in the pouches?
Each mic pouch is sized for standard lavalier capsules such as DPA 6060 & 4060, and one pouch accommodates larger mics like the Sanken RM11. Shoulder pouches suit URSA MiniMounts or similar sized packs.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your chest circumference at the widest point. Match it with the size chart above to find the best fit for comfort and stability during use.
Can I use this with transmitter packs?
The X Strap is primarily designed for microphones and small transmitters/IEM packs. Some transmitters that fit the pouch dimensions can be used, but always check size compatibility before mounting.
Are our Straps machine washable?
Yes — URSA straps are machine washable (recommended at 40–60 °C) and can be dried on low heat or hang‑dried.
What is your refund policy?
We have a ‘no quibble’ policy for refunds at URSA. If you are unhappy we will do everything we can to replace, fix or refund. For more details on returns please visit this page: Refund Policy
What are the Shipping Costs?
All URSA products are shipped from our base in the United Kingdom. If you spend over £50 for UK, 75€ for Europe, 150$ for USA on your order we will provide a free shipping option.
