Lav Snake by Remote Audio

Every production has a different set of wardrobe that the actors may wear. From dresses to suits to t-shirts to armor, there are many ways to place a lav mic. However, what if the actor is wearing extremely tight fitting clothing and you have to run the lav cable down to an ankle pack, and fast?

Not a problem for the Lav Snake from Remote Audio. The Lav Snake is a 4-foot wire with a rounded tip on one end and lav mic connector holder at the other end. It is flexible but stiff enough for even the tightest clothing, light-weight, and coils up small enough to fit into your pocket or provided pouch.

Simply run the red tip down the talent’s shirt, pants, or unitard until you see the red tip on the other end of the clothing. Attach the lav connector to the Lav Snake by Remote Audio, pull the red tip to feed the rest of the Lav Snake and mic cable through the item of clothing until the lav connector pops out on the other side. Attach lav connector to body pack and you are ready to roll sound.

Benefits for the Lav Snake by Remote Audio:

• Works in clothing too tight for traditional lav weights
• Highly polished for low drag
• Rolls compact for storage but always straightens for use
• Safe for clothing too delicate for the traditional rigid stick tool
• Easy to carry in your pocket or ENG audio bag
• Bright red tip for high visibility, polished smooth for easy routing
• Rounded connector back is easy on actor’s skin and won’t scratch
• Compact zippered carry pouch

Priced at around $60, it is worth every penny. Just ask any actor you are awkwardly laving up without the Lav Snake next time you are on a shoot.
