mic wind blocker

[Arctic Pride]

those who record w/ external mic's what are you doing for wind blocking? i'm trying to get some more wind resistance to the AT 3550

Foam from old ear phones
Cheap headsets from Skype phones
Kitchen sponges
Socks

Interesting, did the 1979 vintage offer better wind protection than other years?

they had bushes. scientists believe the hair actually dampens the sound

we dont listen to those scientists anymore.

Ah got it, all the extra ink from printing the massive pubic forest helps muffle the mic more

I am going to try and get some fake fur from the fabric store and make a dead cat, I will let you know how it works out

Windcut Windshield.....

Gets rid of the windnoise, but if the helmet is noisy then it'll pick up that noise :/
maybe I should wrap my helmet in this stuff too

I am going to the fabric store to find a material similar to that so I can make my own

Sounds good! You could ditch that added mono to stereo adapter and just double your mono audio track in your editing software to both channels If your using adobe premiere it literally takes one second to do..

Thanks!
Yeah, this season, I've started leaving the adapter out and its working fine.

Just did a quick test with the dead cat fabric I picked up! Looks like its going to work great!

That looks like a pretty simple fix for wind noise with the foam and glove. I was expecting it to be something hard to setup, but perhaps it will be easier than i thought. Just have to get a camera case for the gopro that allows external mic connection.

I just put a mic in my helmet now makes it far better sound quality

 

[DMotovlogs]

I have my mic inside my helmet, covered with sponge from an old set of headphones that I was about to throw away. Just some thin sponge.

 

[CBRHoonigan]

I know a fuck lads who put it in their pocket too and it still sounds good

In their pocket? What are you talking about? The mic?
