Hi, I'm looking for ideas on how to hide a lav in cook waistcoat.
I'm having dpa 4017 with the concealer but I'm still not happy with
the results (clothing noise).
Some ideas?

under the lapel or in the tie knot, stay away from the buttons if the
garment looks like a tight fit. maybe dump the dpa concealer and go
with mole skin or something rubbery. i've been using make up sponges
to get away from noisy fabrics.
is it a drama or doc, i ask as you get away with different things

It's for drama in hd, so not much forgiving.
What is mole skin and where do you get it? (live in Europe)?

Moleskin is an adhesive backed fabric. You can get it in the foot care
section of your pharmacy or supermarket.

even on hd you maybe able to get away with an exposed lav. placed low
down on the torso (near the navel) it will be framed out in the cu. if
it's just the head of the capsule between the buttons or out of the
fob/watch pocket and is the same colour you can ask wardrobe and
camera if they can see it on the monitor. not a great placement if
waistcoat wearer is seated at a table or carrying anything across
themselves.

moleskin and other foot comfort products available from a pharmacy
can be useful, like the foam patches people put round corns or better
still the silicon rubber patches that people use on blisters. fleece
material could be used too. if the waistcoat is silk or silk lined you
could be onto a hiding to nothing. some silks are really noisy.

I recommend hiding the lav. in plain sight.

How about a white BUTTON MIC. or PIN MIC., from Ricksonix.com ,
replacing one of the buttons on the cooks's waistcoat? Of, if you can
get away with a small badge or emblem on the waistcoat, than works
with the Pin Mic. also.

Or a white Countryman B6, also in plain sight? The B6 is so tiny you
can mount it in a tiny hole in the fabric, stitching it in place with
white thread, and not see it.

You could try this rig for the dpa 4071.

Some thing that I'm looking at also for a chefs outfit
is a plastic hook.
The type that you stick on a wall thats about 3.5 cms long
and 2 cms wide.The hook starts at one end and folds back to half
its length.
This will attach with the same sticky stuff in the previous link
to the inner wall of the jacket.
The hook would be free to move on its outer edge but would
stop anything touch ing the mic capsule.

I have worked on a number of cooking shows and have found that the
hide in plain sight mics work well. Either a white B-6 or a white
Sonotrim poked thru a button hole. I painted a black mic one time so
that it would match his coat. The problem is they are heavy coats and
tend to muffle sound and are scratchy. I have tried moleskin and
makeup sponges but was unhappy with the results.

I will add that because the button holes are usually way off center on a
typical chefs coat, on one cooking infomercial I worked on we had the
wardrobe folks put in another button hole a little more centered for my
white B-6. No one was the wiser and it worked great.
