Hi Walt,
Sorry to disagree but...
The 815 Is the same length as the 816.
I think you may have it confused with the 415 ( same length as 416)
I know because I have owned both 815/816. as for noise, its not an
issue as with all the mkh series,I've found it comes down to the pre
amp more often than not. Currently I use a SQN 4S series 4 mixer and
have no problem with noise at all.
Regarding wind protection, I've found that the rycote softie is the
most economical way to go and does a good job in most conditions but a
full gale. Personally I use a full rycote blimb rig as my main line of
work is doco's for film/tv, and I don't have much control over shooting
conditions/locations.
