Just got my Redhead windscreen in the post yesterday for my Zoom H4 which has made a vast improvement on the quality of my outdoors recordings.
I always liked the quality of sound from my H4, but was getting frustrated by mic bump due to the Zoom-supplied shield which was just a basic piece of black foam which slotted over the mic – meaning it never shielded it fully, and was always falling off – which was how I eventually lost it while out recording one day.
Whereas the Redhead fits snugly over the top of the device – cutting out mic bump even on a windy morning down by the beach. And it doesn’t fall off in the wind! I tested it this morning on a fairly windy day, and got some very nice clean samples of waves. They are available for the H4, H4n and H2 – the blog on the website features some impressive demos of video and audio recording out on the beaches in Maui, where the products are hand made.
And yes, I got mine in wine :). The only thing I need to worry about now is children and dogs trying to play with it.
