Re: Rycote Softie vs. Windshield
the diference is that i hate one motre then the other
the ZWPPWLIN ALLON HAVE MUCH BETTER TRANSPARANCY THEN THE SOFTIE , WITH THE FUR IT HAS BETTER PROTECTION FROM THE WIND BAMPS, THE WIND NEVER DYRECTLY HIT THE MIKE .
OTHER HAND FOR ENG STYLE , WHENE YOU HAVE TO GO FROM EXTIRIOR TO INTERIOR QWICKLY - THE SOFTY SYSTEM IS MUCH BETTER OPTION
THE RYCOTE SOFTY SUSPENSIONS - SAKS 9 AND EVERY YEAR YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE RUBBER _60-70 $ , TRY TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE
I USE OLD LIGHTWAVE SYSTEM FOR THAT METTER , SOME OTHER USE AT ADAPTOR

Re: Rycote Softie vs. Windshield
Basically it's simple.
Rycote (type) windshields are for on camera mics.
Blimp systems are for hand held or boom pole systems (not on camera).

thats complitly not true , the zeppelin cant be plased over the small camcorders ( beta digital is also small) , but more then ones i sow zeppelins atteched to big lence cameras for sport and car racing aplications
the softy can work on camera and boom 9 and even i prefer this style on run and gun shotes ,
for quality and transparency in drama , the zeppelin is much better choice

Interesting. So(lets say I only can buy one for now)the Rycote(softie, furry thing) would be the better overall option? What do you use on your mics?

Re: Rycote Softie vs. Windshield
Go with a Rycote type (soft), more versatile.
You don't say which mic you use, so take a look here for the correct model.

Re: Rycote Softie vs. Windshield
For now, I use a ME-66(I hear the boos already--everybody's 1st, right?), but I'm getting an MKH416 for my next film which I shoot in February, and hopefully a Schoeps by summer. Thanks for the link! Pookie, what does your "boomstick" set-up comprise of(pole, mic(s), shockmount, etc)?
