Here is a simple trick to add a 'deadcat' wind muff to your zi8 or other pocket camera mic! This trick will work on just about any other camera as well, including iphones and *Flip!
*Note, the Flip UltraHD camera has two mics (stereo), you will need to cover both the left and the right mic if you plan on trying this trick.


The "velcro-like" tabs I used in this tutorial are:

where did you get the bear with that fur i cannot find one with the correct style of fur.. any ideas

[Knoptop]

@Archer4111 Yeah, it seems a lot of the new stuffed animals are short haired. I'd say, check out thrift stores, or garage sales, maybe even parts of an old jacket with a fake fur liner.

Hey, nice video.

What lens did you use for this shoot?

[Knoptop]

@TeenandMean Tamron AF 28-80mm kit lens. (not that great)

you see how in like around 3:29 your t2i focuses on the guy and blurs the subject....is that automatic with the camera or an effect?.. PLEASE HELPP

[Knoptop]

@Zazai101 That's the camera's focal length.  The T2i (DSLR) cameras create Depth of Field. The focusing is all manual, done by the operator

[EpicHawk]

Why don't you just buy a Stick-On windcutter?

[vwwhitman]

Ha, ha, ha! Why do I always think of sexual things when I see hairy windsocks? Shame...
