FAQs
Does this flag come with foam inserts?
No, this model is designed to function without foam inserts using its proprietary rubber vane system.
Can I use this with a square-bodied microphone?
The internal vane system is designed for cylindrical (round) microphones; it is not recommended for square-bodied mics.
How do I remove the black vanes?
The vanes can be gently pried out or pulled from the internal housing by hand to adjust the diameter capacity.
Will the white surface yellow over time?
The plastic is durable, but as with all plastics, it should be kept out of direct, prolonged exposure to intense UV light when not in use.
Is this mic flag heavy?
No, it is constructed from lightweight plastic specifically designed to avoid affecting the balance of your handheld microphone.
Troubleshooting
Mic feels loose inside the flag
Ensure that the rubber vanes are properly seated and that the microphone diameter is at least 19mm. If it is exactly 19mm, ensure the vanes are oriented correctly to provide maximum grip.
Flag is too tight to slide onto the microphone
If the mic is on the larger end of the spectrum (near 38mm), ensure the additional black vanes have been removed to increase internal clearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the diameter of your microphone.
- For standard mics (19mm-32mm), leave the pre-installed red and black rubber vanes inside.
- For larger mics (up to 38mm), gently remove the inner black rubber vanes to expand the diameter capacity.
- Slide the mic into the flag center until it is held firmly by the remaining vanes.
Compatibility:
This flag works with most standard handheld broadcast microphones and shotgun mics ranging from 19mm to 38mm. Always verify your microphone's technical specifications before insertion.
Care:
Since the flag is made of molded plastic, it is essentially maintenance-free. Wipe down with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may discolor or compromise the finish of the white plastic.
