Recording outdoors in the wind is a challenge no matter which type of microphone you choose. In this episode, let's look at the difference between using the foam wind cover that comes with most shotgun microphones versus using one of the zeppelin or blimp style wind covers.
In this case, we have a Rycote Modular Wind Cover Kit and a K-Tek KEG 150CCR carbon fiber boom pole on loan from B&H Photo to demonstrate.
If you’d like to improve your sound recording for film skills, please have a look at our Production Sound Fundamentals course over at http://school.learnlightandsound.com
