How to Make a $10 Windscreen for a Microphone (Dead Cat)

- Using basic household materials, we will construct an awesome windscreen.
I have now used this windscreen for a few projects as well as for a few of my other videos, and I am pleased to say that it works better than I had ever imagined it would.
I love the cuts he did when sewing and putting on the zip ties
Nice one! It worked well. I've used foam, shadecloth and stocking material in the past and I've found that space between the material and the capsule is more effective than having the material right next to the capsule although that can make for a bulky windshield. Never thought about the gutter-guard though.
Great project! I was just looking on amazon for the fuzzy windscreens but I think I'll try this one first...thanks!

I use this recorder for youtube videos and the occasional school project. I am currently using my latest camera stabilizer (video coming soon) to film RC races for a local club. But I mostly do it because I enjoy it. It's like photography, most people just do it for the heck of it because they enjoy it. In my opinion life's the best when you have goals to work towards.
10 years later and still being watched
Very nice. I'm going to build something very similar. Loved the Audio test you did. That is the critical part.
Nice job! I made my own as well for the small shotgun DSLR top mount microphone and put up a how to video on that. Thank you for showing the difference in sound quality, great tutorial! :)
Thank you! Well documented and helped me solve a serious sound problem.
Good solution, the second test was better as the windscreen removed some of the low level background sounds & made your narrative more clean. I'm using the same solution for a blimp enclosure & 'Dead Cat'.
cheap n easy cool
suggestions for different ways to attach it to different types of mic would be cool thanks man
thanks from Italy !well done, I will follow your ideas
worked surprisingly well.
Thanks, I am just finishing up my engineering diploma, and can't wait to get out there and work on stuff in the real world, I've always liked creating and testing stuff.
good job dude. great video. AND you didnt talk us to death!!!
Thanks, nice DIY without too much clutter :)
Very well done, thanks. Gonna go gut some old fur hats now.
Very good! I have one of those for my camera (came with it when I bought it 2nd hand) and yours looks exactly like mine. I was wanting to make one for a different mic and was lead to your video. Very good job there.
The Idea is good but, here in France it is very difficult to buy products in small quantities. To buy synthetic fur you have to take at least 50 cm x 150 cm which already costs 22 €. The plastic mesh is at least 2 m at 10 €, plus the small tools to doing it we easily have to spend for 50 € in total . You find it for half of this price in in Alibaba.
Congratz on the Video and DYI.
Despite of the lack of instructions, it is possible to get the whole idea.
Well done !!
Got my thumbs up!
Nice DIY
I thought you made this from a dead cat, I was so scared of the title
Pretty dope DIY man! Thanks! Also, my cat has the exact same fur color, so "dead cat" struck a cord-- Kidding! Thanks again!
hey forest ive been subscribed ever since i watched the water bottle bomb 6 years ago and ive seen every video since. i cant get enough of this channel and ive never found another like it. i have a suggestion tho: i like the videos where you show your face rather than being behind the camera the whole time it makes them better idk why. like i said ive seen every video youve ever made and not alot of them show your face and it makes me connect to your video and channel more. keep em comin forest!
Amazing work man, I watched your video in order to learn how to disable my SKS and got hooked on your creativity. Keep it up! new subscriber. p.s. im waiting on a video with the SKS skills!
Three people bought a 600$ blimp for their field recorder :)
4 people now haha
@@jaynailerz7304 23 people lost Mr Whiskers, and thought this was him.
Amazing !! Now I must search for all those accesoires and fix it fot my H4pro. because I lost my cat ...greatigs from Antwerp!!
Epic video, thanks
Nice job!
thats amazing bro.
your an awesome dude great videos!
yes great videos, I suppose you are a good engineer.
great tutotial, thanks for sharing, would this improve a parabolic mic set up?
Nice '68 Mustang man
if anyone is interested, i have used fake fur and tested it and made a clear sample video with different scenarios. this is proof that it really does work en the guy above is telling you some good information !!👍
although i made mine from only fake fur and placed it in my backpack i should give you a good indication on how much it's actually helps.
Awesome job!
Liked and subscribed. Great video
Nice job
Like that stang in the background.. make a vid on it. Thanks for sharing this by the way.
Who's old bike/What kind is it? I'd love to see a 30 m.p.h motorcycle test with the dead cat. Good videa & ideas.
I imagine there is space between the mics and the cage, does that help? I mean I was going to make a deadcat with just fur which would touch the mics. . . . not a good idea?
in my experience those little mics pick up literally ANY amount of physical contact. I have to be super careful even when I have mine on a mount because just the sound of my hand moving on the mount is loud AF. So yea make sure nothing touches the mics.
Muchas gracias!! :)
good video. thank you
Very nice end result. But all that travel time to the stores, dealing with the public and then the assembly. Wow! I do put a value on my time, I will just spend the $30 and buy the correct one for my rode pro from Amazon. Thanks for the video
Sorry to disappoint, I'm a 21 year old who still lives with my parents. But hey, going to school full time so I have no complaints, meal on the table when I get home, oh, and no debt.
I actually don't wanna know why you keep women's stockings in your basement.... But thanks for sharing your construction tips! Very helpful indeed! :D
Nice work. Note: I have seen u use the same camcorder as I have: the Panasonic HDC-SD9. About the camcorder, have you solder I microphone input? I ask this cause as you know has I no 3.5 microphone input jack but as well 5.1 surround audio. Luc
omg that made a great difference
Did anyone just noticed the date when this was published?
Kool
Il have to make one
Job on making the windscreen seriously
Amazing.
Luv it. That's how Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin started out!!! Hope you invent something that makes a difference and makes U a billionaire!!!
Do you have a video where you make a windscreen or sound muffler for something like a gaming headset's microphone? I just want to block out sound like maybe that of a fan or some background noise
great!
i luv ya vid man and can u plz (IF U CAN) make more vid and put then up quicker
Ps watched ur vid since 2008
Thanks again man!!!!
Yep, got lots of them around here.
Thank you!
Nice tips bro....Thnks...!!
MAN, DEH MUSTANG!
Wtf are you talking about?
nice editing haha.
can you use a beer can for the frame if you cut the beer can and use some inch or 2 thick foam as a substitute for the fur ?
No you can't. It would affect the sound too much imho.
Can you link me this fur? I can't find any good fur, because I have one, but it's not as thick as I'd like it to be..
good youtubers make quality videos because they enjoy video production as well as creating the highest quality content for their viewers. I would much rather people have some fun enhancing their channel rather than filming videos with their potato phones and calling it good to make a few bucks.
Did you try the dead cat without the nylons? What made you feel that both should be used?
i've used the fake fur only and a have a sample video ;)
Are those crows in the background?
very successful beautiful
Seriously I noticed a decrease in quality when you switched over in the beginning.
You sound exactly like Jesse Eisenberg...
I don't have a pet, what else can I use?
use your mom's wig
Someone else's pet.
Do you have a Ford Mustang?
xlnt!!
you are dreamy
Why do you do all this? Just for making youtube videos, or do you use your cameras and recording equipment for other project besides youtube? Because to me it seems like an awe full lot of work for the occasional video...
It cuts high frequencies.
Olena Deorditsa What type of instruments would suffer if it cuts out high frequencies?
wow the quality went from like a 2 to a 10
Looks like a furry cup holder
you can buy it for 10$ on ali
i always thought that you were a older teenager who sill lived with your parents.no offence
