I’ve shot on that same windy beach and wrapped felt around that same type of mic. Works like a charm and costs you about 50 cents at a fabric shop.

I have a shoot for a doc tomorrow and have been expirmenting with the Rycote “Undercovers”; machanically, they work just like they claim; but clothing noise was still a major problem. The only thing that has worked for me (as far as hiding the mic) is using the sticky triangle method. Since I’m using Sanken COS 11x’s tomorrow, I might try using the rubber mount it comes with, along with some Topstick. I’ll let you know what I come up with :o)

Tie a knot in the cable just below the capsule to eliminate clothing noise. Sounds weird, but it works.
