Rycote Cyclone Adaptor For pcs-Boom Connector
Rycote Cyclone Adaptor for PCS-Boom Connector - quick-release boom connection
The Rycote Cyclone Adaptor for PCS-Boom Connector links a Cyclone setup with Rycote’s PCS-Boom Connector, whose defining feature is a click-in, quick-release connection to the boom pole. It’s for location sound recordists who need to change microphone setups during a session, rather than unscrew and refit a mount each time. The connector’s release can be operated with one hand, so a change between takes stays straightforward. That’s useful when recording dialogue and needing to swap microphones between speakers, or when a production calls for a different microphone setup as the recording moves between scenes. The PCS connector attaches to a boom pole with a 3/8-inch female thread, and its supplied 3/8-inch male tip provides the corresponding threaded part. Rycote’s connector design holds the mount firmly while limiting unwanted vibration reaching the recording. The adaptor’s role is specific: it brings the Cyclone system into that PCS connection, rather than acting as a general microphone holder on its own. For a sound team already working with PCS, it offers a quick-release route between the boom pole and a Cyclone setup, with the threaded connection handled by the PCS hardware.
What it does
- Cyclone-to-PCS connection: This adaptor is made for use with the PCS-Boom Connector. It links the Cyclone setup to the PCS connection in a boom-pole microphone rig.
- Click-in release: The PCS connector clicks into and out of the boom pole connection. That quick-release action is useful when the microphone setup needs to change during a recording session.
- One-hand operation: The connector can be attached with one hand. This keeps the release process direct when a sound recordist is managing a boom between takes.
- 3/8-inch boom-pole fitting: The PCS connector mounts to a 3/8-inch female thread. Its threaded fitting also supports accessories that use a 3/8-inch thread.
- Aluminium threaded part: The connector’s screw fitting is made from aluminium. It forms a secure connection while avoiding damage to the boom pole.
- Light connector assembly: The PCS-Boom Connector weighs 53 g. Its compact, lightweight construction keeps the connector’s contribution to a boom setup modest.
- Stable mount connection: Rycote’s connector design holds the mount securely and limits unwanted vibration reaching the recording. That matters when handling a boom during dialogue recording.
Specialist Note
For recordists capturing dialogue on a boom, this adaptor makes sense when the rest of the setup already uses Rycote’s PCS connection. The useful detail is the one-hand click release: you can detach the PCS connection for a microphone change between takes, rather than spending time unscrewing the mount. The 3/8-inch female fitting is also worth checking against the boom pole you use; that’s the thread standard the PCS connector attaches to. I’d consider it for a location recording rig where a Cyclone setup needs to join a PCS-equipped pole, especially when microphone changes are part of the session. The adaptor is specific to this PCS/Cyclone link, though, not a general-purpose boom-pole fitting by itself. Pair it with the PCS-Boom Connector for the quick-release arrangement.
