Wind noise is always a potential nightmare, but as suggested you need to create some still air-space between the muff and the mic. My own camcorder built-in mic now fitted with a small metal gauze and faux fur is quite acceptable up to modest wind-speeds ( but NOT "blows yr hat off" levels ).
If you can shield the camcorder from the incoming wind, that will gain you extra protection.... i.e. just standing in front may do the trick. However, if you are trying to interview folk: move them to somewhere there is much less wind ( but beware a hedge may itself add noise! ).
It would help if you can tell us your typical filming subjects and what you've done to reduce wind-noise.
IMHO expensive mics compound the problem due to their extra "performance" . . . but rarely do I find I need one as I carry a hand-held digital recorder for those "difficult" situations . . . or for "Ambience", etc. as their file-sizes are much smaller than with a picture.
Whilst so-called "noise-reduction" may help, all it is doing is reducing the camcorder LF gain. . . far better to really fix the problem. You may have seen sound engineers using a "Blimp" ( like a tube covered in faux fur ) - these are really expensive, but if you are DIY-practical, you might be able to make your own.
Good Luck. |
