A quick demo to show what a difference a mic wind shield can make.
This DIY shield cost me apx. 70p ($1) and makes a real difference to the sound quality when filming outdoors during windy conditions.

Mustache! Where can you buy that stuff? I was already lurking at some dead cats (shotgun condenser mics) before I came across this, and it seems do to the job perfectly.

this is gonna be a little tricky with my panasonic hdc sd60. there's not much place to stick the velcro. I'm sure i'll sort something out.
