Windjammer for A1 microphone? at DVinfo.net

Jose Ortiz · March 26th, 2007, 08:14 AM

I’m trying to figure out if there is anyone already using on the A1 factory microphone a good windjammer device. I call B & H but they were lost on this type of recommendation. I know that they are selling one for the Sony FX1 that could work but the is just my judgment by the website pictures. I would like to now the size of the FX1 mic to compare with my A1 mic or if there is any that you guys know that should work.

Hey guys recommendations please!

Thanks

I'm just guessing, but it appears that a fat cat that fits over a standard hand-held mic would work. I just ordered one for my hand-held. If you still haven't got an answer by the time it gets here, I will be glad to try it on my built-in and let you know.

I've been using Rode's Deadcat on the A1's microphone. It's not perfect, a little too big, but some haircut and it's ok.

I'm using the Deadcat and a Rode SM5 - no haircut necessary this way!

I also use SM5/Deadcat with NTG1, but I thought the original question was windjammer for a factory microphone. You can't use SM5 with that ;)

Thanks for the sugestions!
I'm already ordering the deadcat to use it. This saturday I have a wedding at the beach here in tampa.

I will let you know later if worked out that day.

I have recently bought the Special 60 Mini Windjammer made by Rycote. Fits very well & I like the drawsring cord which holds it tight in place & tucks nicely away inside.
