stealthy and windproof?

Hi again,

Stealthy I can do. Windproof I cannot. Opencell foam balls just turn compression distortion into ghost moaning, and denser material clips the highs and gives that hey-this-is-muffled effect.

What to do? Do you just forego taping outdoors on 20+ MPH days? Or is it going to require something 3" thick and forget about both stealth and 10kHz up?

side question: What do activtity tapers do? skateboarding, MTB downhilling, etc? Where you have to shock mount and be wind isolated, and they have to be pretty small just because of the situation. (maybe not stealthy, but...)

Thanks.

Answering my own damn questions... Anyone know of a more active MD taping community board?

Basically "stealthy" and "windproof" are mutually exclusive. There are some commercial wind suppressors that are very small (MicroCat) but it looks like you have a Troll Doll's head sticking off your mics. Not very inconspicuous, damn sure aren't stealthy. (or cheap!)

If you want to see a nice mic/wind rundown, try:

I'm going to try constructing micro-zeppelins. I can't believe this hasn't been run into before, every taper has this issue. So why do no searches of the Live Recordings threads come up with anything? Someone has to have done some.
