You have no idea how helpfull this video was for me. Thanks. You do not just save my money but you open my eyes for doing something good from the start.
The cold weather, which I had not anticipated properly made me completely lose the fact that I should have given you all a sample of each without me talking...so I will make another supplemental video showing this and get it uploaded, hopefully this week. Thanks!
Hi Carlos, I quickly reached the same conclusion myself. I bought first the simple furry deadcat for my NTG1, then after reading reviews that said they worked well, the more expensive version that you show here. And even this latter one did not remove even light breeze wind noise in my own tests; merely reduced it a bit. So I do not understand how people have found them to be effective in any sort of wind. A blimp is therefore now on my shopping list.
Hi Carlos, yup, me again! Well, your comments make me think my hearing is not so bad! The blimp certainly improved voice clarity for me. I was n't so convinced it had reduced the wind volume but then the conditions were rather variable - and consequently true to real life. I wonder why the airship design is so much more expensive - perhaps there's not the sales volume with too many people buying the much cheaper kit. I never quite understand that, people will spend thousands on the camera and then skimp on the accessories. Surely better to reduce camera spend, use more effective support kit and get a better overall product? Cheers, and thank you. Bob.
Great video, I was / am I the same situation , I should have brought the blimp straight off the bat. Now how is it you use the blimp attached to your camera? Which is why I too use the foam and fur cover.
Thank you for the test. Have the same blimp. I'm just thinking about how i should work with it in real life. Agree with you that small deadcat is more useful in the most of situations.
This was a worst case example I know for demonstration purposes. Try using the talent/actor as a windbreak or put the mic in a place where the wind is blowing across axis as a shotgun mic rejects from the sides. Also another thing that works fantastically well is if you can find a pothole that will act like a parabolic dish. This works great if you're somewhere like a skatepark for example.
Would you have any tips for recording waves and beach noise on the beach? I have the rode shotgun and rode deadcat, but still getting gusts of wind with clipping auido on them... why?
Anyone else watch these to figure out where the next step is? Sure we know that we could shell out a pretty penny for the level we *want* but we aren't made of money and we are looking to improve the system we already have... basically we are all stuck in the system of gradual upgrade? Just wondering haha

Hi Carlos. Ah, much slicker start up! Grabbed my attention straight off. Bob

Thats what i did

At the 8:35 mark
It sounds great

Carlos, I have 2 say you have the best colors in your videos! Subed last week to your channel and keep up the awesome content for Us creators :) peace
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I could hear some wind rumble with the foam windscreen. The rest sounded fine to me.
Great video with excellent factual information well done for sharing, any advice on smaller setup for out door blogging with iPhones?
Would this help in say school gym school play for echo or say karate dojo with lots of echo noise from ki ahs? Thank You

The conclusion of his video is that in windy days, a deadcat alone won't be sufficient, you need a blimp with windjammer.

Not a good test, on a bun mobile phone you cannot hear any difference
