The Rycote Softie Lyre Mount with MHR replaces the built-in or accessory mic mount on your camera. It includes three sets of metric screws as well, which allow it to be connected directly to most common camcorders, including the Panasonic DVX-series, Sony NXCAM, DSR, HVR, PMW and HDR-series, many Canon X-series models and more.

The mount uses Rycote's patented Lyre technology and the durable W-shaped Lyre clips are made of hard-wearing and heat-resistant thermoplastic. Plus, the mic clip dramatically reduces the effects of unwanted noise caused by vibrations. The mount is particularly effective at reducing or eliminating lens motor and cable-borne noise. It can also be rotated and tilted freely on any axis, and may be stored in bags with a mic still fitted. The mount can be removed quickly as well.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. can i use this with a Sony SEL 55-210mm lens?

A: No, you cannot. The Opteka 2x Teleconverter for T-Mount is designed for lenses that use the screw-on T-mount lens mount connection, The Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS Lens uses the Sony E-mount bayonet lens mount on the lens, and would not be directly compatible with the T-mount teleconverter.

Q: 2. Can the Vivitar HF-T2-NIK-Z be used to adapt to a nikon monarch_60x82mm spotting scope? does it attach to the eye piece or objective? How does it differ from the Novograde digiscoping adapter?

A: The Vivitar T-Mount to Nikon Z-Mount Adapter will mount a Z-mount camera to a spotting scope with a T-mount. Unfortuantely the Nikon Monarch 20-60x82 ED Spotting Scope does not have a T-mount. One would first need an adapter like the Novagrade T-Mount Digiscoping Adapter on the spotting scope, BH #NOUA00T101 (https://bhpho.to/3cGBB1w). With both these adapters one can mount the Z-mount camera to the spotting scope.

Q: 3. How do I connect this to a 1.25mm barrel?

A: It depends on the 1.25 eyepiece for a telescope. But most use a T mount and that is what the Vivitar T-Mount to Nikon Z-Mount Adapter has on one end. And the other size is for a Nikon Z mount camera.

Q: 4. This fitting will work on Sony A6000?

A: Yes, it will work on the A6000.

Q: 5. Does this work with the Alpha 7ii?

A: Yes the Vivitar T-Mount to Sony E-Mount Adapter BH #VIHFT2SONE will work on the a7 II and allow you to mount t mount optics.

Q: 6. Will the adapter work like a macro extension tube? (change the minimum focus distance)

A: The Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R would not function as a macro extension tube where the minimum focus distance will be changed. It would simply allow the use of EF lenses on a Canon EOS R series body.

Q: 7. Is this what I need for Mark IV lenses to work on the RF 6?

A: Yes. This Canon EF-EOS RF adapter will allow you to mount your Canon DSLR lenses onto your Canon EOS R6 mirrorless camera body.

Q: 8. Will this work on a Canon EF mount when used with an adapter?

A: It is compatible with mirrorless cameras when used with the appropriate adapter, appropriate T mount adapter, and the T mount lens. Opteka 2x Teleconverter for T-Mount is not made for Canon EF lenses though. It is made for T mount lenses.

Q: 9. Will this work with the Sony Alpha 9?

A: Yes, it is compatible with the A9.

Q: 10. What is the crop factor?

A: The APS-C sensor crop factor for a full-frame lens is 1.5. So, if you use a 35mm summicron Leica lens with the Fujifilm Adapter for the Fuji X series it will produce an equivalent of an image corresponding to a 52mm lens on the APS-C sensor. I've used the 35mm 1.4 Summilux Leica lens on a Fuji X-E1 with the Fujifilm adapter with excellent results. But if you want to use the Leica lenses on a full-frame sensor then you should consider the Sony A7r. I'm very happy with the quality of the Leica glass and very comfortable using these other bodies and sensors from Fujifilm or Sony. The X-Trans sensors are superb! Good luck and keep up making good images.
