I was videoing on a lake today when the winds really picked up. I loved the sound of the winds through the trees, but knew it wasn't going to translate well with my wide open mic holes. So I decided to cover them. I picked a couple of medium sized leaves, folded them into thirds, covered the holes and used a rubber band around the camcorder and the leaves to secure them. Worked great! I was quite happy with the results overall.
Anyone else have any thinking Outside the Box ideas that's worked for them that they'd like to share? |

LOL...sounds like an easy fix except for the fact that if I did that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have captured the wonderful sound of the winds blowing in the trees that really made the nature video I was after.
Besides that, I do well on P5 with sound clips, and my nature sound clips are the most popular. |

I do both too. I will use the video of the wind blowing the trees and then I will also extract the audio and submit it as a sound clip to P5. That's why it was important to get the clear sound of the wind and not the open mike crackling. The leaves worked wonderfully.
I have a Zoom H2 that I use occasionally, but since I'm usually videoing, it's easier just to extract it's audio. The Zoom is great for voice audios when I need them though. |
