Laval microphones - dimensions

pentaOK, so. For a Star Trek RPG I'm doing, I'm designing an audio-visual transmitter thingy. (Details aren't entirely relevant, I think, though I'm willing to be corrected)
I decided for ease of description that the device (meant to clip to the collar of a Starfleet uniform and transmit back what it sees/hears to a "mission control" console, when the wearer is on an away team, to the sending ship) is about the same size as those lapel microphones used by journalists IRL during live shots. Just the microphone bit, not the powerpack on the belt.
I discovered such devices are also called "laval" microphones.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the key part of what I need to turn my idea into a proper bit of tech for my RPG group: Just how big, in terms of dimensions and weight, are the microphones? (Not the microphone and powerpack and cord between the two, just the microphones) I'm blind enough IRL that I can't really tell, from pictures, how big the things are supposed to be.
Preference: Because the group wants dimensions in metric, I'd like that. However, because I'm not natively metric, including the US conversions would be nice, too.
No idea how to tag this, either.
