In order to use it outside you need wind protection. Rycote S Series $350
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/497431-REG/Rycote_010301_S_Series_300_Windshield_Kit.html

or the K-Tek K-Zepp

A few cables (good)

Your mixer will need a bag )and you may as well get the bag for the 302 now).

I am not saying you have to buy it from this vendor, but it is nice to have links with pictures and model numbers all from one place.

Wow! Good list. I recommend instead the K-Tek windjammer/shockmount setup instead for the AT4073a.

But otherwise, this is an awesome list and should become a sticky, asap.

 

[Leo Versola]

Yes, great starter list. I pretty much have every item listed on it and I definitely recommend a 302 over the MixPre if it can possibly be fit in one's budget.

Couple of other options to maybe consider in same price/quality range:

Hypers:
1) Audix SCX1-HC

2) Audio Technica AT4053a

Shotgun:
1) Audio Technica AT875r
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...ica_AT875R_AT875_Short_Condenser_Shotgun.html

Headphone:
1) Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/240764-REG/Sennheiser_HD280PRO_HD_280_Pro_.html

Bag:
1) Portabrace MXC-302

The same K-Tek K-Zep Wind System mentioned and linked at Trew Audio:

Save 50 bucks and better photos of the insides and parts a lot of people mistake this for a closed meshed system. But STILL great deal heh =)
