Have you tested this against the 1st generation? I have the 1st gen large cyclone and I find it unusable in moderate winds as the wind whistles though the joins in the basket. And recently while filming on a super windy beach with the fur cover on I was hearing wind noise through it too even though my Sanken CS3e had a foamie  on it inside the basket. The fur itself has been brushed so it should be at its most effect but it seems to have gone downhill pretty quickly overall since I bought it. Very disappointing considering as the 2nd gen is now a lot cheaper new than the 1st gen was. Considering whether I should trade in the baskets or just switch to cinela.
