Reflexion Filter mounting tips
Most of us who own a Reflexion Filter have had to figure out a way to deal with the issue of keeping it balanced on a simple tripod mic stand. For me, it meant laying bricks on top of two of the three legs of the mic stand - which was pretty tacky and not practical in a mobile/on-location situation. A few days ago, while tearing down after a session, I stumbled upon a simple cure for the balancing issue. Check it out -





I just pivoted the mechanism in half (which is how you put it away anyway) and voila! It's very stable and looks way better too. No bricks required. Pop-filter mounting has also been a concern for some RF users, and as you can see I'm not having that issue anymore.

Just thought I'd share!

I posted this on the rap forum last week

Time to resurrect an old thread...

When you pivot that piece around, is it sort of resting on the metal block of the other part to keep it horizontal ? I tried swinging it around and the two circular sections (with the locking nut in between) don't meet tightly, they're kind of in a 'v' shape and don't tighten up completely to keep things in place.

Thanks,

Thanks for the tip!

I just got my Ref Filter yesterday and I was trying to think about doing the same thing. After hours of dealing with techs and working on my board my mind was somewhat numb. GS to the rescue!

Thanks for the tip albeit a little late for me. I recieved a nice dent in my U87 and ended up buying a SE mic stand which are pretty solid.
