Heads Up Mic Clip – A Smarter Mount for Body Worn Cameras & Shoulder Mics
If you’ve worn a body camera during patrol, you’ve likely noticed the wiggle, shake, and bounce in your video footage—especially during foot pursuits. This movement often results from two factors: the increased weight of today’s high-resolution, long-runtime body cameras, and the fact that most patrol uniforms were not designed with camera mounting points in mind.
To solve this problem, Texas Deputy Constable David Merton developed an innovative solution: the Heads Up Mic Clip (HUMC).
Designed for Shoulder Mics, Perfect for Body Cameras
Merton first recognized the safety issues with shoulder mics, which often forced officers to cant their heads to speak, limiting their line of sight. The HUMC solved this by tucking securely into a vest trauma pouch, creating an ideal upper-torso mounting point for a shoulder mic.
When body worn cameras gained traction, the HUMC quickly proved equally valuable. Mounted on the upper torso, it provides a stable, high-quality perspective for video evidence while reducing the shake and roll associated with shirt-mounted cameras.
Affordable and Easy to Use
Staying true to the practical needs of law enforcement, the HUMC is:
- Simple to install – Fits almost any vest trauma pouch.
- Affordable – Priced under $20.
- Versatile – Works with most body worn cameras and shoulder mics.
This makes the HUMC an out-of-pocket solution accessible to individual officers as well as agencies. It comes with everything needed for installation and is available direct from MAXSUR.
