In the fast-paced world of film production, seamless communication is essential. Whether you’re a grip, gaffer, assistant director, or part of the safety team, having your radio gear accessible and secure can make all the difference.
At John Barry, we stock a range of communication accessories designed to keep you connected and comfortable on set. Let’s take a closer look at three standout products: the Setwear 05-538 Radio Chest Pack, the Rocket Film Equipment MTPWTBP Walkie-Talkie Belt Pouch, and the fun and functional Walkie Woogie acoustic tube replacements.
Setwear 05-538 Radio Chest Pack
Designed for: Film crew, event staff, emergency services, and outdoor professionals.
The Setwear 05-538 Radio Chest Pack is designed with ergonomic comfort in mind, featuring 2″ wide shoulder straps and a tri-ring adjustable strap system that ensures all-day wearability. Made from durable 600D polyester, this chest pack is built to last. Its secure storage options include an adjustable radio pouch and two fold-over compartments, keeping your essentials safe and easily accessible. The innovative Silent on Set system allows you to access your gear without making a sound, eliminating the disruptive noise of Velcro. Additionally, the quick-release buckles allow you to gear up or down in seconds, making it incredibly convenient for any situation.
With dimensions of 8.5″ x 8″ and weighing just 11.75 oz, it’s compact yet spacious enough to carry what you need.
On Set Use: Ideal for crew members who need to keep their hands free while staying in constant communication. Perfect for grips, camera assistants, and location managers who are always on the move.
Rocket Film Equipment MTPWTBP Walkie-Talkie Belt Pouch
Designed for: Film and TV production, live events, and security personnel.
The Rocket Film Equipment MTPWTBP Walkie Talkie Belt Pouch is a must-have for any production environment. Built to withstand the rigors of on-set use, this pouch is both compact and durable, ensuring your equipment stays protected. Its versatile fit allows it to easily attach to belts or utility rigs, keeping your radio within reach without getting in the way. Made from high-quality, water-repellent Oxford Nylon material, it offers superior durability and longevity. The pouch is designed to fit most standard walkie-talkies used on set, making it universally compatible and highly practical for various production needs.
Beyond its primary use on film sets, this belt pouch is also ideal for other professional environments. Security personnel can benefit from its easy access and secure fit, ensuring their communication devices are always at hand. Event coordinators and staff at large venues can use it to stay connected seamlessly throughout the day. Additionally, outdoor enthusiasts, such as hikers and campers, will find it useful for keeping their radios secure and accessible during their adventures. With its robust construction and thoughtful design, this belt pouch is an essential accessory for anyone needing reliable communication on the go
On Set Use: A favorite among assistant directors and production assistants who need to move quickly and communicate clearly without fumbling for their radios.
Walkie Woogie Acoustic Tube Replacements
Designed for: Anyone using two-way radios with acoustic tubes—film crews, security, event staff, and more.
Why It Stands Out
The Walkie Woogie Acoustic Tube Replacements are a game-changer for anyone tired of uncomfortable, generic earpieces. These acoustic tubes come in a variety of colors and designs, adding a touch of personality to your gear. Made from durable nylon threading, they are built to last and provide superior comfort. The easily replaceable and washable design makes them a cleaner option for shared equipment, ensuring improved hygiene on set. Designed for long wear, Walkie Woogies reduce ear fatigue during extended shoots or events, making them ideal for professionals who need reliable communication without discomfort.
On Set Use: Loved by sound mixers, boom ops, and anyone using surveillance-style earpieces. They’re also a hit in the security and hospitality industries.
Beyond the Film Set
While these products are staples in the entertainment industry, their utility extends far beyond. Emergency responders, event coordinators, warehouse teams, and even outdoor adventurers benefit from the same features that make them indispensable on set: comfort, durability, and ease of access.
