Hi, I have a tascam dap1 mostly to record outdoor fx's in any conditions. In the last years, I used a rode nt1a and a rode nt4. Both of these mics were great to capture sound effects but I think I would be better off with a shotgun mic. I need a mic that can resist to wind blows as well as avoid sound artifacts from too much shaking. I dont intentionnaly capture sounds in bad weather conditions but sometimes i goota do what i gotta do.

I need advice on good mics that could capture pristine sound effects as well as somewhat resist to wind blows in diaphragms and too much shaking.

any idea people?

tx

I have used a Sennheiser MKH60 with a blimp windscreen and found it the best solution for outdoor sound fx recording... Very popular with Film Location Mixers...

"Hire" a good Microphone for the gig. Save for a rainy day.

yeah I guess it's a good advice smile.gif ...It could be done, maybe for my north forest trip. But I'll purchase one sometimes this year... cool.gif

Does anyone makes field sampling? what mics are you using?

I've been recording in the field, sometimes in very bad weather conditions for several years now, with a DA-P1 and a couple of AKG Blue Line's in a MS configuration in a rycote system, they work really nice (not so good as the Sennheiser, but they're much less expensive), you could try the C 480 B comb-ULS/61 with a shotgun capsule CK 69-ULS, wich is more expensive, but not as much as the Sennheiser(that can handle anything).
