Being tired loosing expensive Wind Socks for your RF Microphones during a field shoot?
But you need them no matter what. I make a couple before going out on location shoots
When shooting video outside on location, you have to deal with Wind hitting the RF mic. After loosing a couple of Wind socks during a field exercise, I can up with a temporary solution, one that i'd like to share with you.
You'll need:
1. Matt Knife
2. Rubber bands (1 or 2 depending)
3. Foam from Pelican Case or equivalent (1 Inch x 1 Inch square, 1 Inch thick)
Make incision from the bottom to the middle of the cut foam, Wrap the foam around the Mic, Secure the temp Wind sock with Robber Band. Leave room for the Lapel Clip. Use a pair of scissors to round up the extra foam. I used a Sharpie Black Permanent and run it against the rubber bands to make the yellow go away.
I am working on getting a Temporary Lapel Clip build from Gator clip, paper clip etc, will post soon.
