deadcat hair do
What do people do with their deadcat to get over the problem of hair showing on film, trim with scissors?

Hi Terry.....
|
I fluffed mine all up good then used an electric beard trimmer to shave the long single hairs off. These were the ones that were getting into the corners of the frame. Worked great.
|
would the rode sm5 also help solve problem.

I bought a Rode NTG2, SM5 & Deadcat for my XH-A1 and still suffered from wind noise even though the Deadcat was on top of the NTG2's foam shield on a recent trip to The New Forest in Hampshire.
I did not even realise that it was windy at the time as I was not wearing headphones. I did think about buying a Rycote Softie but they are very expensive and there is no guarantee that it will work. I don't think that there is a cheap answer to eliminating wind noise. Paul W. H |
If the mic, or the deadcat in this case, is showing you just have to pull it back, as simple as that. I use the Rode SM5 pushed into the mic holder from the back, no problems with Rode NTG-1 or Sanken CS3 with either deadcat or softie. Some people do not even come to think of attaching the holder "backwards" like this, but push the mic even more forward with the mount and then complain about it showing...
Deadcat or Softie is not enough in serious wind, or even medium. That's what the zeppelins & windjammers are for, but then you can forget on-cam mics. |
Yes, I was using the SM5 backwards with the mic pushed all the way back but the long hairs still reached the frame. Shaving worked like a champ. Having said all that. The whole set up isn't that great in windy conditions.
