Any recommendations on wind screen to use? The one answer was deleted by Amazon. Thanks

Commercialy available wind screens or any loosely woven furry material from a thrift shop or store will do. Should experiment for your specific conditions. If you are lucky maybe a toy animal with a TAIL the right size will show up, if not a little sewing of loose, fluffy, furry material will fit the microphone. Trade-Off between volume loss and wind noise suppression with different materials and wind velocity. Different suppressors for different conditions if you want to have a "wind kit" of several items for ready use. Some that go on top of each other for extreme cases. It's sort of an art more than a science. Commercialy available wind screens or any loosely woven furry material from a thrift shop or store will do. Should experiment for your specific conditions.

It was okay as it is, but I just made my own, look it up on YouTube. Hope this helped

Although I have switched to a Rode external mic, I was able to eliminate wind noise from the internal mic by placing two layers of Blenderm tape over the mic. (one layer is enough if the wind isn't too bad) Blenderm is a very thin, clear medical tape. For what I was using the camera for, the tape did not drown out the sound at all but got rid of the wind noise. Having said that, switch to a Rode, you'll be glad you did.

glad you got things figured out. I'm still not sure why you can't just copy from your SD card directly, but personnally, I prefer to use PhotoFunStudio, and only pull my SD card when I can't find the USB cable.As far as the wind noise, if you haven't already, go to the movie menu, and turn "Wind Cut" on.

Hey. So how did this go? I'd like to try this as well. Figure it would take dust etc out on the air even with the be best on. Any insight would be appreciate! Thx.

Try plugging your MSI Wind to an External monitor. Set the resolution on the external monitor and install (make sure the LCD screen on the Wind is off) When you're finished with installing, try running the program on the Wind. just a thought.

I would recommend removing the current one, clean your screen with a soft cloth and screen cleaner. let dry and then install the BoxWave. I love mine, I clean it every once in awhile. great product.

I didn't remove my window screen. Matter of fact, I find that it keeps bugs from climbing up the intake hose. As added security against bug antics, you could take a roll of window screen cut to the size of the hoses and clamp them over the end to give you double protection. BTW, I love this unit and it's worth every penny.

I have not had problems with wind on my unit. Will lose reception due to rain or snow, but that's a symptom of satellite TV. Could your unit not be anchored well, i.e., not correctly mounted or could your roof be flexing or rig move as others suggested as possibility, or could there be leaves or limbs blowing to impact the view of the satellites?

After much trial and error the ONLY way I was able to download my video was with PhotofunStudio. And then it was easy. Still have a hard time editing, no instructions that I can find. But what was the big shock was the wind noise!! Any clues on how to muffle wind noise?

It comes with a windscreen. Other wind barriers are available. There is a protective case for the recorder only. Cases for the kit are available. Best.

I purchased a roll of vinyl mesh screen(for a sun screen, not window screen) and I put the grommets along the top and tied them to my canopy on my deck to filter out the sun. Made them so I could roll them up. Worked very well and the grommets are real easy to use. Hope this helps.

In very windy environments, the foam windscreen that ships with it does not cut out the noise. I suggest a dead cat and have had great luck using these outdoors with heavy wind. Here is a sample of sound outdoors using the H4n with a dead cathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7gJNIX9gng&list;=PLj4BSJLnVpNznZykqlJht9kslOnu4JwHy&index;=8

Hi all,Does anyone have some experience with shooting in windy conditions? Is the microphone shielded in a way that it reduces noise caused by the wind?. What about the images when filming fast action. Does it get jerky? (Can both be tried out by shooting from an open car window)Thanks for your info.

I see another person answered that the breeze goes through it because it is mesh. It is mesh, but very tightly woven mesh. It does break wind gusts. It does not block air flow 100%, but definitely would break gusts. If you want 100% air block, tarp would be probably work better, But I think I know what you are doing, and this would work fine for a garden. Tarp would work, too. Which is cheaper?

If you contact Colemon, they will the warranty does not cover wind or rain damage. If you just bought it, Amazon may replace it.

Not sure how you went through 3 suction mounts! Make sure you clean your the area of the windscreen with an Isopropol (alcohol) cleaner before putting it on. We just travelled with our 660 around Australia (30,000Km) and it would occasionally fall off the screen due to the extremely hot temperatures - other than that it was brilliant. The maps could be a little bit better - I say that tongue in cheek as some of the places we went barely had roads and were 500Km from the nearest person :)

Can confirm that it works, using it this way right now. I hadn't been using the monitor jack just assuming that it'd mean I couldn't hear system audio without going through external speakers and I didn't want that. I actually came looking for windscreen options (besides the old sock missing it's other half I've got now) and came across this question/answer so I opened up the playback device properties and set the USB microphone speakers as default. Works like a charm.
