Microphone mic flag Rycote Single Square White mic flag for handheld microphones

The Rycote Single Square White mic flag is a square microphone flag designed for handheld reporters' microphones. Made by Rycote, it provides a clean white visible surface for station identification and a practical interface between a handheld microphone and windshield or foam cover. The accessory is sized to fit standard single handheld microphone bodies and is intended for use in broadcast, field reporting and interview situations where a neutral, professional appearance and clear on-camera identification are needed.

Advantages

The white square design offers a neutral, highly visible area for logos or channel identifiers without altering microphone ergonomics. Constructed to align with common handheld microphone shapes, the mic flag is easy to mount and remove while maintaining a secure fit during use. Its design preserves access to the microphone capsule and allows compatibility with typical foam windscreens and windshields, helping to manage wind noise and maintain audio clarity in outdoor or uncontrolled environments.

Suitable for

• Broadcast reporters and news crews conducting field interviews
• On-camera interviews and press events requiring visible identification
• ENG/EFP setups and mobile journalism where quick setup and branding are needed
• Production teams seeking a neutral white flag for custom decals or temporary branding

Key specifications

• Square format sized for single handheld microphones
• White finish providing a visible branding surface
• Compatible with standard handheld microphone bodies and common windscreens
• Lightweight construction for minimal impact on microphone handling

How to use

Slide the mic flag onto the microphone body so that the square panel sits centered below the grille and above the area where operators hold the microphone. Ensure the flag is aligned with the microphone capsule and that any foam windscreen or windshield remains properly seated over both the capsule and the mic flag interface. For on-camera work, position branding or decals on the visible faces of the flag so that identification is clear to the audience. Remove the flag by pulling it straight off the microphone body when storage or transport is required.

Usage recommendations

For secure attachment, check compatibility with your specific microphone model before prolonged outdoor use. Use a compatible foam windscreen or windshield to improve wind noise handling when reporting outdoors. When applying decals or adhesive identification, use materials suitable for temporary application to avoid surface damage.
