Need help with a kit I'm making up.
Mic/Boom stand: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/2904...Boom_Stand.html
Audio Technica AT897: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/4008...Microphone.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/4815...Microphone.html I can't tell the difference between these two other than the little cord that's included in the second link and costs shipping and handling. Wind muff: I need help finding a cheap effective wind muff XLR Cables: Not sure about these cords, so I need one that is at least 25' (ft) long. So if anyone could recommend a brand or just a good cord let me know please? Like I said I don't really know a whole lot about this, so help is very much appreciated and thanks every for answering my lavaliere thread. |

For wind protection Rycote http://www.rycote.com/products/full_...em/windshield/ is the standard but is expensive. I try to get away with using the supplied foam shield and a Dead Cat with my Rode NTG-2 but beware http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=119442 There are some also cheap Rycote imitations - do a search. If you are fairly new to XLR cable matters could I suggest you have a look at this: http://stagecraft.theprices.net/gallery/cablewrap/ It's quite easy to damage long audio cables if you don't know how to coil them properly. |

You reckon this would be good for cutting out wind for a Audio Technica AT 897 mic? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...hield_Kit.html

I can point you to the seller for the one I got (it is a business store). It was about $27 for a fur cover for my AT897 and for a hand held Azden. |

Softie is the way to go. Call B&H and ask which model for the AT897. The size of the hole is critical. Lightwave and K-Tek also make versions that are well regarded. Haven't used the K-Tek, but I prefer the Rycote softie to the Lightwave. Not knocking the Lightwave. Lots of people like them, but when I've compared the two, the Rycote seemed like it had better construction to me. Also, I have a recent catalog from B&H that shows a new slip-on type windscreen made by Rycote that doesn't have fur. Don't know anything about them, but it's worth investigating. Don't settle for an untried off brand. If the fur gets matted easily, it will interfere with the effectiveness of the interference tube of the shotgun. While the things look simple, there's more to them than seems obvious.
