Using A Seat Belt Pad As A Wind Blocking Deadcat

Chad Bredahl just sent in this smart tip about using a seat belt pad as a deadcat. (Deadcats protect microphones from wind, so if you are shooting video outdoors, it kills a lot of the wind noise).

Deadcats are not that expensive to begin with, but I guess auto part shops are easier to find if you are on a hurry and need a quick solution.

If you think this is crap, skip to 2:10 to see/hear the effect of the pad on wind noise, I was surprised on how nicely it works.

Thanks for the tip, Chad.

Give me a break

Oh the windscreen. If you so cheap you have to use a seat belt pad for a windscreen.
You really don't need to own any audio equipment. No wonder 9 out of 10 podcasts sound as bad as they do with sugesstions like this.

Bu the way the wind noise is terrible with your windscreen on. FAIL.
