osa Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 On a show using a combo of sanken 11d's and 4063's mostly outside. Mics hidden button down shirts etc. where fabric layers are working to my advantage, but high winds in later afternoons flairing up and hiting 4063s hard. The sankens i am using the larger high wind screens the size of a marble with great success wrapped tight in makeup sponge moleskin combos. New to dpa's and not having equal success with my available accessories. Is there a dpa equiv windscreen non foam but rigid metal like the sanken i am possibly overlooking? Considering trying to modify one of these sanken high wind screens to fit a dpa grill cap and testing that as an option -Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Try using one of the "Rycote little furry disc windshields" stick ons using the Rycote sticky.... These work really well and can help out a lot depending on the mounting options available.. You can cut these down a bit if need be..

Johnny Karlsson Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I’ve had good results using the small Bubble-bee furries with the DPA lavs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 The Rycote Overcovers (little furry disc windshields) work wonders for wind issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Miller Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I second the Bubblebees. I’ve had a talent on a boat, facing into the wind, full dialogue with great success. Also, good success with the Rycote furry too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
