mics for parabola

["Eric V. Schmidt" <>]

Hello all;

I just bought a 24" big ear and have a couple of questions from the experts
here.

What is it good for and what do I have to lok out for in using it.

I read a couple of posts about the need for wind/ insect covers and loked
for some others to no avail.

Anyhow what is a good mic to place in the front of the parabola?

Are there any tricks to mounting it on a stand or handholding it?

How about taking the sound to videotape (I am a vidiot by profession)?

I am planing on goint to the mid-west weekend in May and will bring it with
and hope someone there has some experience ith it too.

Thanks.

Eric
