Rycote windscreen part II

Lyre suspension

Last week I paid a visit to my supplier to talk about my experiences with the Rycote windscreen kit. Over the phone they explained to me that we could try some options. So now the Rycote is fitted with the new Lyre suspension. Because of the fact that is a mono suspension system they developed some foam clamps (see picture) to combine my Mid/Side system. They told Rycote of this foam solution. So now Rycote is testing this for futher approvement of their system.
In my tests I also noticed that the whole setup with tripod is fairly sensitive when touching the tripod. In a field recording situation it is quit common to use high preamp settings. In this light we talked about makeing some fleece sleeves for the tripod. So it would become less sensitive to wind noise. An other option would be the Ambient floater. This device would decouple the windscreen from the tripod. And at last the most expensive one the Cinela ZEPHYX Windshield.

So I started with the 3 euro fleece sleeves.
