I've been getting all my wind protection from Rycote
If you're seeking a compact yet powerful solution for wind attenuation, look no further than the Rycote Baby Ball Gag 21mm (0.82") Windshield. This innovative product is designed to provide the same level of wind protection as a full-sized windshield, but in a significantly more compact package, making it a versatile choice for a variety of recording scenarios.
Specifically engineered to fit snugly onto the body of the microphone, this high-quality windshield allows for both hand-held and shock-mounted usage with a Lyre suspension. Its compact size makes it an ideal choice for short microphones, and it's perfectly suited for low-profile boom applications, hand-held operations, and interviews.
The Baby Ball Gag Windshield is a popular choice for microphones with bulbous ends and ORTF microphone pairs, accommodating a maximum head diameter of 80mm. Constructed from the same durable material as Rycote's full-size modular windshields, this product offers a unique mounting method. Instead of clipping to a microphone suspension, it is mounted directly onto the microphone body via a grommet that securely grips the microphone.
To install, simply push the microphone through the grommet, completely enclosing the microphone capsule for optimal protection. The windshield is comprised of two halves that can be separated, making it adaptable to fit microphones with a ball-head or tapered body from inside the windshield.
In summary, the Rycote Baby Ball Gag 21mm (0.82") Windshield is an effective, high-quality, and versatile solution for protecting your microphone from wind and other external elements, thereby enhancing the audio quality of your recordings.
