Hello,

I am trying to find a wind screen for the on-camera microphone as well as the Panasonic AG-MC200G shotgun microphone. Any recommendations?

Sincerely,
Bill
 
Rycote makes a BUNCH of different "Windjammers" for all types of microphones. There may be a better version available, but the version for the Sony PCM D50 works perfectly on the 130/160/250! You just double up the neoprene elastic inside the fuzzy part and it fits snugly. It's cheap, it's black, and it's what my dealer had at the time. I'm sure there is a version for the mini shotgun you can find by measuring the microphone.

Nate that's really helpful, thanks, I've been thinking about getting one of these and didn't realise Rycote had this range.

They have literally dozens of versions of their Windjammers, though, do you know exactly which one it is for the HPX250? I can't find any references to the PCM D50 on their website to use as a reference.

Thanks

Neil
 
I contacted Rycote after I got my HPX250 and after providing measurements of the microphone they recommended the Mini Windjammer -- it is a poor fit and not secure, and I am still looking for something more suitable. I don't thnik they have anything in their current lineup that works well.
 
Thanks for that! It looks like they have four existing products specifically for the HPX250, and at about half the cost of what I paid for the Rycote.
 
She's pretty good about customer service too. If it's not working for you, she'll find something that will.
 
Thanks Nate.

Also thanks Kevin, that's a great link to Windcutters, she has a good range, good prices and an easy to use website :)
 
After reading the product line I ordered one (should have gotten green or red now that I think about it). Looks like a great product and should really help, Will most likely get some for my wireless units also. I was impressed with their shipping charges very reasonable.
 
I'm going to order green AND red for my two HPX250's, to remind me which one is left and which is right when they're on the 3D rig he he :)
 
FYI, on the off chance anybody picks up the Panasonic AG-MC200G microphone for on-camera, I found out that the 12 cm standard Rycote Softie (RYS12M) is the right one to use for this microphone. (Thank you B&H!)

Sincerely,
Bill
