chrisP Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 I use the same microphone configuration and can recommend the cinela pianissimo (piani2). Not cheap, but the best and lightest solution. I moved vom Rycote to cinela for my MS-Rig this summer and don't regret having spend about 900 Euros. It's very quiet regarding handling noise compared to Rycote ,and it feels lighter on the boom. The only drawback: it's a little bit larger in diameter. I took the short-hair option for the fur-cover and think is the sweet spot unless you work mainly in real highwind areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 You can try to find an older rycote setup on the used market but honestly you’ll probably have to upgrade it anyways since the old elastic will likely be no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
