Created for baseball stadiums, the Klover MiK 16K Parabolic Microphone Dish Assemblyturns your omnidirectional mic into a long-range microphone capable of capturing conversations at a range up to 300' with stunning clarity.

With a 16" parabolic dish that won't obstruct the sports fans' view and weighing just 3 lb, the MiK 16K excels in mobility. It is compatible with lavalier mics up to 0.3" / 8mm in diameter and small-diaphragm microphone 0.75 to 0.87" / 1.9 to 2.2cm in diameter. Engineered for tough conditions, the MiK 16K is constructed of carbon fiber reinforced with continuous Kevlar fibers, which greatly enhance the strength and durability of the components. While the MiK 16K is a staple in the broadcast industry, it is also ideal for security applications where discreet audio capture is needed.

• These two models are functionally equivalent and offer the same audio performance. The only difference is the Broadcast version includes a plate for mounting electronics and a neck strap.

• Made from ballistics-grade plastic, Klover's stiff, highly reflective dish material provides a fuller audio signal.

• Specialty vibration-isolation bushings on all attachments and handles eliminate noise that may come from an operator’s movement.

• Unlike brittle PVC parts that creates sharp, spear-like edges if broken, or metal parts that can also cause serious injury to the operator and athlete, the Klover MiK 16K's carbon fiber parts crush upon impact.
• All protruding studs have also been removed from the front of the dish.

• Attachments such as microphone yokes and handles are designed to be interchangeable so you can customize your Klover MiK 16K for different jobs and easily replace damaged parts.
• The dish is designed to be safely stacked without scratching the critical internal surface.

Q: 4. Will the QRA-501L fit the Manfrotto ball head on a 055xB tripod. And does the assembly come as bottom tripod plate and a quick connection to camera or accessory? I need more stable platform to hold 22#.

A: What you see is what you get. There is a bottom plate with screw holes to accommodate any tripod quick release plate. Then the QRA-501L's own quick release plate that you attach to the bottom of the camera slips right into bottom plate. Once mounted, be sure to clamp the plate with the ratcheted lever. If the lever is blocked by the camera body and cannot tighten, pull the lever out and move it into a good position, push in and then tighten. Do this as much as needed, usually no more than 1-2 twists.
