Sen - ME66 (JVC GY HD) - Outdoor usage?
Hi guys
I have a JVC GY HD110 + ME66 for primarily outdoor usage. I'm aware I'm picking up a lot of buffeting/wind movement noise. I am using a fluffy on the mic (on top of a sponge head). The fluffy is a cheap one although I'm not sure how much difference this would really make. I've also noticed the camera has a wind reduction setting although I havent tested it out yet and I'm wondering what folks think about features like this? Anyway I'm looking for tips/suggestions on good outdoor mic setup and usage? Many thanks Mat |
What's a fluffy?
I have one of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/207238-REG/Rycote_033052_Standard_Hole_Softie_Windscreen.html Wind noise is a thing of the past. In heavy wind, you might want to go to a full zepplin with windsock setup... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/478488-REG/Sennheiser_BS2_Blimp_System_f_ME.html Good luck... |
Though I'm not familiar with that particular camera the 'wind' setting would be a low-cut filter. (aka, hi-pass filter) It can help, as long as there is no low frequencies your want to capture. For instance, in an interview/dialog situation, the human voice has little energy below 100Hz., so using the 'wind' filter would be an option. As previously stated, a zeppelin set-up offers the best wind protection, but it's rather large and bulky for camera mount.

Mat:
I assume that you have the bass roll off that is present on the K6 power supply activated? That would be your first place to begin. I have the Lightwave version of the Rycote that Perrone linked to, works great even in high wind with the ME-66. Very little buffeting or wind noise. I also agree with Rick, the best setup is a full zeppelin but that is not practical for camera mounting. Dan |
