Does not properly adjust to tapered antennas.
Scott, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. The MicClip is specifically designed to work with tapered antennas and has been used daily on tapered antennas in the field for well over a year. Proper placement matters, which is why we explain this on the product card and demonstrate it in the installation video located just above the review section.
In nearly all cases, ratcheting the MicClip onto the more uniform portion of the antenna and then sliding it down slightly to snug it on the taper resolves fitment concerns. If questions come up, we encourage customers to reach out. We’re always happy to help dial in the fit before it turns into frustration.
A lot of antennas are beveled. This product doesn’t account for that. I had to add some tape toward the top of the mount to even it out for the clamp. The clip for the Mic only allows the Mic to attach on the very edge of the Mic itself. Causing it to be a tad bit flimsy. Under the clip for the Mic, remove that rounded plastic part and allow the Mic Clip to slide all the way down the holder. Much more sturdy.
Thank you for the detailed feedback. The MicClip was engineered to fit tapered antennas as well as the vast majority of antenna profiles used in the field. In cases where an antenna has an unusually aggressive taper, shifting the MicClip onto the more uniform section of the antenna usually resolves the fit without the need for modification.
The mic attachment point is intentionally designed to be universal and easy to attach and release the mic during use. What can feel like “flimsiness” is typically just the natural flex in the spring of the mic itself, not the MicClip. Adjusting the molded support the way you suggested would actually increase the chance of the mic binding during removal, which is why we chose the current configuration.
We genuinely appreciate your suggestions and the time you took to share your experience. Feedback like yours is part of what led us through 50+ prototypes before releasing the MicClip, and we’re always refining based on real-world input. If you’d like help dialing in the fit for your specific antenna, we’re happy to assist.
It’s a mic holder that works for me when I’m responding in my personal vehicle. Otherwise the mic just flaps around. Keeps it tidy and I can hear dispatch because it’s pointing at me. A useful gadget for sure
I bought this so I didn’t have to try to keep my mic clipped to my antenna and so far it’s been great!!!
I originally saw this at FDIC and was intrigued. I bought one for my Motorola radio and I love it. Once you find the right position that works for you, just chinch it down and it stays put. Clipping the mic on the mic clip is easy. No more clipping the mic to the antenna. This is a great option if you don’t want to clip the mic to your coat or shirt. It has not messed with the antenna and there has been zero issues with the antenna connection.

As a radio tech I would urge you not to purchase this. Over time this will destroy your antenna and the connection to the radio. They aren’t meant to be handles or support the weight of a speaker mic clipped to them.
Local Radio Tech, we respect your concern. The MicClip has been rigorously field-tested with zero antenna or radio issues. Antennas are built to flex and absorb the stresses of daily use, from pushing through burning buildings to climbing into trucks. In reality, antennas often get abused more when mics are clipped directly onto them. By keeping the mic secure and organized, the MicClip helps prevent accidental damage and reduces overall wear, which is why it’s trusted every day by firefighters, law enforcement, and military professionals.
Awesome product
Works as described.
Great product, just not quite what I needed for my Kenwood KMC-41 Shoulder Mic.
