I just used the BBG with a furry Windjammer on my 50 (Low cut ON) in an INV-7 HG MKiii shock mount and I had zero issues with wind and handling noise. Very clean. I'm extremely happy with this set-up.

(I use the Invision 6 as well) Re: "Without the fur there is wind noise in very gentle winds" Hhhmmm. That's disappointing. Haven't tried it yet, but I just ordered it online. It was cheaper than B&H, so I could sell it if needed. With 'very gentle' to moderate wind, would you say that there's more or less wind noise than the original Softie?

Cameron, what don't you like about the BBG? Just curious. Thanks.
-
Great. Thanks, Chris. Other than the water soaking, it does sound like Rycote made some improvements in this newer design. Very helpful to watch this. Cheers, Paul

Thanks, guys. All your input is really helpful to me. Rich and RPSharman, you saved me from making a purchase I really didn't have to make. Along with my video test, your experience using the 50 outdoors has given me some peace of mind and confidence in using mine outside as well. With a limited budget right now, I'll use the 50 + Rycote BBG + INV-6 (which I already own). *Some folks are dead against using the INV-6 and recommend the INV-7 instead. But I tested both and the stiffer lyres on the 7 created more handling noise. But if anyone has tried this set-up and disliked it, do let me know. Cheers, - Paul - Thanks also for the WS2 recommendation. It's on my list now. -
Yes, good point, Marc.

Hhhmmm, great to know, Rich. Re: the zeppelin you use...I was considering using a BBG on it for light to moderate wind. Is that what you're referring to? When recording dialogue with the 50 outdoors, did you need to bump up the gain a bit? Or was it a non-issue and the reach was just fine?

Hiya kid. I knew I'd catch you here at some point. The 50 is the only mic I own at the moment. Love it. Have never used it outdoors, but in a situation when the subject is stationary and the mic can be around a foot away consistently, I really wouldn't hesitate to use it. Have you EVER used it outdoors?

Re : "Pull the mics away 3 ft..... then do the test again...Real world is not always 12 inches." Good point. We should've thought of that.

Hello guys & girls I thought you might like to see this outdoor test we did with some microphones, a few of which are not generally considered to be used outdoors at all. The results here may surprise you. Despite YouTube's compression, I was still surprised that to hear that the Sound Devices mixer did not totally blow away the Beachtek going straight to camera. I thought the difference would be night and day. It wasn't, to my ears. Just my opinion, obviously. Check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpTT8_B-MBk - Paul - Your thoughts?

Olle, I love my 50 for interiors but I've never used it for exteriors. I was considering saving to get the MKH60 for that, but perhaps my 50 will suffice in most cases. Have you noticed any particular issues with using the 50 outdoors??? Have you used it in noisy environments?

For what it's worth.

Paul at the Sound Room did reply when I asked them that, too. "The low-cut filter part of a more expensive kit that is $50 more."
-
Thanks, Zach and Christian.
-
Thanks, Zack. If you have any audio samples, I'd love to hear them with the low cut on and off. If you have time.

Where did you buy it?
