Just a quick video to show how well a DIY camcorder microphone wind shield works, I made this today for my SD9 but it works just as well with any camcorder, watch the video here:

£1? Impressive.

70p :-)

Of course it's more if you add a couple of eyes and some whiskers

The difficulty is finding somewhere that sells very small quantities. But I've spotted an Ebay seller who offers sample swatches. Anyone want a pink or ocelot one, since I'll have a few spares!

Thanks for the video.

I'm curious... can you also so something like this with a condenser mic... by wrapping it around the mic?

Very impressive.
Where can you get that stuff from?

This looks perfect. I've been trying a few ideas out with fur and velcro. Didn't consider putting anything over the whole mic as i thought it would muffled the sound - but you've proved me wrong!

Even better, got a SD9 too.
