Boom in the frame

[bogatyr]

my audio-technika 4073 with a rycote softie is always in the frame. aside from using scotch tape, are there any more permanent and less ugly solutions? not talking about a buying a new shockmount.
thanks

Shot that through a mirror did you?


A couple of thin rubber bands can help keep back stray fur.

i didn't notice the word Panasonic is reversed, no idea why. took a picture with my Mac book camera, no effect, weird optics on those tiny cameras

i suppose you mean "rubber bands", then it sort of defeats the purpose of the softie

the word Panasonic is reversed

And the tape door is on the wrong side!


You can also use a light net to hold in fur a little, without flattening it.

You could also get this to move your mic back (apparently, Rycote must've seen the problem a lot!):

thank you for your replies, but the hotshoe extender is not going to hold the vidled light (too wide) and the mic. will the the net
cheers
