Skinny Wind Muffler

This micromuff was really easy to apply to my camcorder. I purchased it as my small Sony camcorder doesn't have the ability to attach an external microphone, and sometimes I'm out and about vlogging etc., and have to record without too much setting up time, so I decided this may help with the wind noise. I can notice a difference in audio quality, it definitely seems to cut out wind noise quite well when it is just breezy. For me if the wind picks up, or if there are gusts these still get through. But I don't expect a miracle from such a small and simple wind muffler. I leave it on my camcorder all the time. It is so small it takes no room up really, so there seems no need to take it off (and run the risk of losing it), although as it is attached with velcro (you place the sticky-backed velcro over the microphone holes - in my case I've got rectangular arrangement of microphone holes so bought the rectangular shaped muff, then the actual muff velcros to the piece stuck on the camera) it is easy enough to remove and replace, but this does seem unnecessary, and I suspect doing this often could result in gradually pealing the stuck down velcro off the camera which would then somehow need to be restuck...

I’m starting to get a grip of recording video with my Sony DSC-HX300, but the type of footage I shoot is normally outdoors in open spaces (motorsports), which often results in lots of wind noise. I should really have bought a camera with an external mic input, but I didn’t so I was looking for a way of reducing wind noise with what I’ve got. I stumbled across this item and whilst the price seems high the results justify it. You basically get a small piece of fur and some Velcro, which depending on your camera, might need a bit of a chop to get it to fit over your camera mic. Simply attach the fur bit on the Velcro and you’re good to go. I’ve tested this in some fairly blustery conditions and am really impressed with the performance. It cuts out the majority of the wind noise, whilst still picking up the audio you’re trying to capture. Remember, your camera mic is unlikely to be of great quality to begin with so this won’t suddenly transform your audio into broadcast quality, but will certainly improve it to a much better standard. Overall, a good item albeit slightly high in price.

This is a good product that really does work to reduce wind noise (By about 80%). The only downsides are as follows. (I am using this on a Canon G7X for vlogging by the way.) *You have to cut the velcro part that sticks onto the mic otherwise it is too long to fit and covers the pop up flash and power button. A quick trim sorts this out though and does not affect the "Stickyness" of the velcro. *When vlogging with the screen up to see yourself, the muff covers a large portion of the screen so you cannot see yourself properly. I find myself taking it off a lot due to this. I have though come up with a semi-solution. Flatten the muff as flat as possible over and over and the muff shall lay a lot flatter. This will reshape the muff and only cover the very bottom of the screen. *The Muff is no miricle worker, It will work in light wind, but not in heavier winds. It simply is not thick enough. For what it is though it's massively worth the money. I hope this helps.

this micromuff actually works! I use this on my Canon G7X, it picks up quite a bit of wind when out and about but this micromuff has definitely reduced the wind noise to a less annoying slapping sound to the mic to a moderate noise level, it certainly doesn't block out the wind completely but will make a noticeable difference and won't make your videos completely​ unusable :D

I took a chance and bought this for a Panasonic GH4 looking for a discrete windjammer for the very wind-prove on board mics.I had stuck customised ones on to the camera directly with limited success. I wondered if this velcro approach would be better. I had to adapt this also, with the GH4's hot shoe getting in the way. Regardless, this would never have worked as the design does not take in account of wind getting under the velcro and therefore across the mic. It is therefore useless and in my opinion a waste of money. These small windjammers even when they are stuck directly to the camera without velcro are ineffective. Wind will find a way to get in! You need to significantly cover the camera and block wind pathways. However, if like me you're still looking for a solution that works, you might like to try this: a Redhead Windscreen for Zoom H4n (available on Amazon) which I stretched (tight fit- some stretching will be needed) over the eye piece and front protruding part of the the camera. I loose the eyepiece, hot shoe and reduced access to the selection mode on top, and eye piece view has to be reselected so I get it on the LCD, but quality wise Redhead windscreens are very well made with super dense hair- check out the videos on youtube- I have one and it's fantastic! There is ZERO wind in light to average conditions and even blowing on the camera simulating a gale gives only a low rumble and voice is still heard. Impressive! If you don't mind your camera looking like a moptop Beatle (see photo) it's a very effective workaround.

FOR SUCH A SIMPLE LITTLE THING - THIS ACTUALLY WORKS! I USE A CANON G7X WHEN SHOOTING MOVIES AND THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR A MIKE BAFFLE AS EVERYTHING IS BUILT IN THE CAMERA SO THIS GADGET COMPLETE WITH "VELCO" STRIP IS JUST THE JOB, VERY EASY TO FIX IN PLACE [AND REMOVE WHEN NOT NEEDED]. I HAVE USED THIS IN GALE FORCE WINDS ATOP OF NOTTINGHAM CASTLE A COUPLE. OF WEEKS AGO ALSO AT YORK CASTLE [ALSO A VERY EXPOSED SITE] BUT ON PLAY BACK - NOT A SOUND, ONLY THE SOUNDS THAT I WANTED RECORDED. FANTASTIC GADGET!.

Not perfect, but takes away a fair amount of wind noise from my Stealth Helmet Cam. Added bonus of it now looking like a mini Don King.

This was the best accessory I purchased for my G7X. I live in a very windy location on the coast, so it has been thoroughly tested. You can barely hear any wind on the very windiest of days. My voice still remains clear on any footage. So impressed with this, I've already been recommending it to fellow vloggers. If you record video outside, you need this.
