MINI
ALTO
The lightweight solution that makes it fast and easy
to go from interior to exterior
sound recording.
The Mini-ALTO has been designed to be fast and easy-to-use with almost all small condenser,
short shotgun and standard shotgun sized microphones.
With a diameter of just 85mm, the Mini-ALTO is the smallest "full-coverage" zeppelin windshield available
in the professional audio recording industry. Even at this size, the Mini-ALTO will achieve
wind reduction for up to -40dB with its included fur cover.

What's in the Kit?
Add-On Kits
If you're already using a RAD Shock Mount, you can simply get the "Add-On Kit" to create a Mini-ALTO windshield.
Add-on Kits
The Add-on kits are suitable for anyone who already has a RAD-1, RAD-2 or RAD-3 Shock Mount.
These kits come with the windshield pods shown plus a fur windcover, smiley face RAD mount adaptor
and storage holder with carabiner clip. These are available in versions with
a Grey or Black Fur Windcover.
It's in the details
The Mini-ALTO is full of hidden gems, designed to create ease when sound recording.
The Smiley Happy Face' attachment is the part that allows you to upgrade the RAD Shockmount into a Mini-ALTO. Simply screw the attachment into the centre of the RAD Shockmount and secure by adding the hoops on top.
The storage holder and carabiner clip comes in each kit (including add-on kits) and allows you to quickly attach your baskets to your bag or kit - whilst your not using it.
