  • 1.  Belt Packs

    Posted 09-27-2022 15:47
    Good afternoon,

    I'm sure that this topic is on here somewhere but I thought that I would bring it up again. Belt Packs. Do you make your own or do you buy them. If you make your own can you share the design and if you purchase, can you share who you bought them from. We have Sennheiser EW-D SK units. Thanks in advance for you comments.

    These belt pack pouches on Etsy are great! They're super durable, washable, simple (though designed by a sound and costume tech), and inexpensive. https://www.etsy.com/listing/838175466/microphone-packbelt-pouch?click_key=cc5f702e025359407823709f4a3da68af0b6c2d4%3A838175466&click_sum=376d941c&ref=shop_home_active_14
    Our Mic Pack/Belt Pouch is designed to be worn with your own belt (up to 2) and has a pocket that is 4.5 wide by 4.5 tall (4 to use the Velcro closure), big enough to hold most wireless microphone packs or a small notebook and pen or a few small tools. Made of a sturdy cotton canvas, our bag has a

    I have used a number of different packs over the years.  The ones from Wireless Mic Belts, https://www.wirelessmicbelts.com/, have been the best for me in versatility and durability.

    I make my own mic belts out of wide elastic and use cotton for the pocket with velcro for closures. I made some very crude notes/directions for myself some years ago. It is nothing special but I'll attach it to this message in case it might help you or someone else. I have been interested in the ones for purchase but they are just too expensive when what I made works just fine.  If we need something special for a specific actor, then typically our costume coordinator or a student makes something specific to a costume.  Hope this helps. Good luck.
