Simple addition that will eliminate wind noise
Could be a little more durable but for the price, just buy 3

You need these when you need them, and you will be DARN sorry if you don't have one when the time comes! Used this during a VERY windy wedding and while the pastor's mic was having loads of trouble in the wind (along with the decorations and flowers!) this little guy kept the groom's lavalier mic clear the entire time. Saved my entire video! Buy one and never be sorry.

I have a very small wireless lav (Sony ECM-88BC) and I bought this windscreen based on recommendations that it fit small mics. You definitely need a small initial windscreen on the mic first and then fit the windjammer over that. Does it block wind? Absolutely. But the fit for small mics will need some adjustment.

happy with performance

I personally use my wireless mics in many situations. I've attached them to skaters on halfpipes, Priests during weddings and interviewees at trade shows. This windjammer was the best thing I've used yet to stop the mic from scraping against clothing and to block the wind. I didn't have any trouble at all finding the opening and it slid right on my super small mic. No complaints.

I bought two of these to replace a Microcat windjammer I had for many years. Yesterday on a job outside on the water I attempted to use both of these to stop wind noise on my 2 Tram lavaliers. First, finding the opening on these things was next to impossible. Yes, they are smaller than my old Microcat but they are so small the entire head of the Tram would not fit into them. And, they did not stop any more wind noise than the foam windscreen that comes with the Tram.

I wish some manufacturer would figure out how to make one of these wind screens that will stay on and can be fastened inside clothing well enough so they don't fall off the first time the talent moves.

I am very dissatisfied with the quality and performance of these items. If they didn't get so destroyed trying to get the Trams into them and affixed inside the talents clothing I would attempt a return to the manufacturer.

My advice - spend the little extra and get the larger other-manufacturer version of these things.

If you don't already own one of these, then do yourself a favor and get one. Cuts the noise right down to a usable level. Only downfall is it's ugly and not that easy to conceal without a major loss of sound.

Hard to hide, but works great. Eliminates wind noise

It was hard to fit the first time, but easyer when it has been used ones!

Nice little fuzzy to give you a little added protection from the wind. Kind of hard to keep up with. For the money I would buy another one!

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Lavalier Microphones (Black):

They are smaller then other fuzzies but work pretty good in light winds. Make sure you attach them to the mics because they will pop off easy.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Lavalier Microphones (Black):

I really needed one of these because it's very windy here on The Outer Banks Of North Carolina and I do quite a few weddings along with my commercial and other work. This is a destination wedding location and weddings on the beach can be challenging with the wind.

The only issues I have with it are that it's kinda hard to put on the mic itself as it's a big ol ball of fur with actual opening and elastic kinda difficult to find in all that fur. Also, it's a bit larger than I thought it was so it's harder to hide it or make it less noticable. The price is a little high for such a simple and small item as well.

Overall, I would still recommend this item.

This little piece of fluff looks worthless, but it has made a big difference in our sound quality. We make videos next to a busy highway with lots of truck traffic that use jake (exhaust) brakes. Before this product, a truck going by would completely overwhelm the camera's microphone, and make the audio narration disappear. Now, a jake brake sounds like a pop-pop-pop in the background - easily 1/4 as loud and easy to ignore. Amazing!

Also, windy days used to sound like we were recording inside a tornado. Now it has been practically eliminated. This product is totally worth the asking price.

Used outdoors on golf course to shoot demos and instructional videos.
Need to keep careful track of this little fella as it could easily be mistaken for a piece of lint!!!

Used this for an outdoor shoot last week. It protected our Senn. ME2 lav element from about 15-20 mph gusts and delivered great-sounding audio. It may work at a higher wind velocity than that. It's a huge relief since our lav normally sounds nasty with any hint of a breeze. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's very hard to hide, and looks like a small 1-inch tribble has latched onto your talent's collarbone. Wear black!

I use the windjammer for interviews outside in even high wind. The first day of using it, I had an interview on a boat in the Gulf (Oil Spill story). You could hear perfectly even with the boat travelling at high speed. One negative; make sure you have a way to secure it to the mi lavalier. I also lost the windjammer to the sea on the first day!

I shoot all over the world and at a lot of outdoor windy places. Mountain tops, beaches, safari, etc. These fat muffs knock the wind right out of the equation. Plop one or two wireless lapels with these muffs and you can record great audio of a group or a single person. Kind of pricey but they work.

Great for cutting out wind noise.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Lavalier Microphones (Black):

Does a great job of deflecting wind noise but it look like a giant fuzzy button. It's impossible to hide and unless you're just recording audio, not recommended for video shoots.

if your going to have a wireless mic and video outdoors this is a must for everyone
