Contour Video Camera Foam Microphone Windscreen

I made it at Techshop. http://www.techshop.ws/


With the microphone on the front of my sports video camera; I needed to get something to reduce the wind noise.  I looked on-line but did not like what I saw.  I did not want to glue something on, just to peel it off.  So, I came up with a clip on foam wind noise reducer.

Foam and Paper Clip

Using foam from head phones and a coated paper clip.

Simple Paper Clips

The top clip is a finished one.  Basically by bending out the paper clip and cut to equal lengths to form a U shape.

Basic Tools

Basic tools are side cutters (aka wire cutters) to cut paper clip to length and small needle nose pliers to form the loops on the ends.

The clip snaps over the foam and into the grooves of the sports camera.
