The wind-baffling quiff for your latest Canon G7, G7X, Panasonic GH2, Panasonic GH5, Panasonic - Lumix TZ95, Lumix LX100, FZ1000, Canon 650D etc!
Micromuff ® SKINNY uses Velcro ® brand fixings for a dependable and long-lasting fix which is easily detachable and reuseable.
Micromuff ® SKINNY uses the best quality, high-density, close-pile acoustic fur for the best wind baffling qualities with minimal sound colouration.
Kevin Cook from the Institute of Videography on the Velcro fixings:
"The Micromuff actually consists of two parts – the furry wind jammer with a Velcro friendly base and then a self-adhesive, ring-shaped Velcro pad which is permanently stuck over the holes on the camera which conceal the onboard mic. My first thought was, “Do I really want to stick something to the body of my shiny camera?” Well I did, and I don’t think I ever want it to come off now that I’ve had a chance to use the Micromuff. Should you really feel the need to take it off don’t worry, it doesn’t leave behind and nasty glue residue."
Getting the best out of your Skinny on a CANON G7X, Panasonic GH2 or Canon 650D
Unless you are standing in some bizarre thermal updraft or building induced downdraft, wind tends to flow horizontally to the ground. With top mounted microphones like on the Lumix range of cameras, sitting a Mircomuff Skinny on top of these certainly helps, but you can improve the effect dramatically with a little 'hairdressing'.
Pushing the fur
down over the front of the microphone area - like a fringe (or bangs if you're from the USA) - really improves the performance of the SKINNY. The more you encourage the fur to do this, the more it will stay in this style and the better protected you will be.
So, before you shoot - check your hairstyle!
