I feel this is a must have if you plan on using the H1 outdoors. I've used it to record an outdoor concert and for filming. It makes a world of difference.
The mics on the H1 are excellent, but very sensitive. Speaking straight into the recorder at any less than 12" produces serious pop and peaking. Trying the same with the windscreen produced perfect results. I keep the windscreen on all the time now and I can trust that any audio I capture will be fine. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it is a pain to get on and off. It also covers the record light and peak meter when it's on. Other than that, I highly recommend it!

this wind screen provides some protection but hasn't performed quite as i'd hoped, in that the zoom h1 still registers wind noise when the screen is on in only light/medium winds. i found it nearly impossible to squeeze the screen over the zoom h1 on top of another foam cover as i have seen suggested, but even after i managed to do so i still get some wind noise in my recordings. there are times when i wish it were a bit more discreet, as well. interestingly, there's a word in the product name that can't be mentioned in this review.

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
Being a documentary filmmaker involved with a number of projects each year, I am constantly faced with the situation of recording outdoors at a moments notice. Since we use the ZOOM H1 extensively in our work now, the MM-52 has become an indispensable accessory. It cuts out virtually all wind and extraneous hissing, humming and buzzing, leaving a crystal clear voice to go with the interview visuals.

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
I've been testing this for a while now and have come up with pros and cons.
PROS:
Reduces wind noise to a minimum in IDEAL conditions (see CONS). Makes audio clear and audible, and makes external audio worth fiddling with. :) lol Fits Zoom H1 quite well.
CONS:
Doesn't reduce noise on highway (but who films with their camera sticking out of the car going 80 on the interstate??? lol). And the fur/fuzzy stuff can fall out sometimes in little strands, but as long as you don't pull on in hard it stays on the windscreen.
So recap: Works great, but doesn't work if you are in wind conditions over 25-30MPH. Overall I love it and am satisfied with my investment.

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
Pretty much what you expect. Its a wind sock for a Zoom H1. It works perfectly. Its a little bigger than you might think too. Its also hard to put on the first time because the elastic band is so tight. But once its on, it ain't comin' off.
Its perfect for Weddings. We use it when we do our video Guestbook for Weddings.

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
I just finished shooting a short film with this wind screen outside in a windy desert. Winds were nowhere near 20 mph and you could still hear some slight wind noise coming through. That being said, the wind noise was not anywhere near distracting levels and just about all my recordings we're very useable. If you want to use your H-1 outside you absolutely need wind protection, this is well made and will work as advertised for most situations.

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
Works great on GH2 and in front of my Schoeps Mk41. On the GH2 you flip up the flash and place it over it where the mic is. Works good on a light wind day.

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
The sound is very great, are some options very good (44,48, 96 kHz, 16 or 24 bit), easy to use and small.
The body is of plastic, so you need to be carefull 'cause anything you do (move finger, touch some thing) makes a "clap".

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
looks like a mix between a dead mole and boxing promotor Don King, easy to add on and let it stay on. Not so sure about the efficiency in a windy environment but the occasional fan and the brezze is almost in-audible,
But heavy winds - forget it...
For a Zoom HN1 it works so well, also as a physical protection...

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
Knocks the wind noise down much better than the foam one that comes in the HI accessory kit. It doesn't quite do the 20MPH wind as advertised but it works.

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
This was a recommended accessory from B&H when I selected the Zoom H1. It appears to do what it states. It reduces wind noise that is under 20 mph. The design is of the type where it loses hairs over time - that and the price you have to pay for these things are the only two cons so far.

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
I use the MM-52 on my H1 on outdoor interviews. And although it kind of makes your H1 look a little Don King-ish, the sound quality is outstanding. I haven't had any wind noise in my interviews.
It can be quite difficult and somewhat frustrating getting this thing on and off the H1; so I end up just leaving it on, which does protect the mics and makes the H1 easier to locate. All I need to do is look for that little plastic troll with Don King hair in my bag.

Comments about WindTech MM-52 Mic-Muff for Zoom H1:
Does a good job of controlling wind noise (but you already know that if you watched any of the demos on Vimeo). The only thing I didn't like about it was that it was difficult to get on. The bell shape of the H1 and the elastic not being so "stretchy" ensures a tight fit, but I worried the entire time trying to put it on that I would break my H1. I'd prefer a simple pullstring tie!
