Maybe I'm just out of shape (I am :) but I also find the breath sounds
I get while walking any distance to be distracting, with my little omnis
clipped to my eyeglass temples.
BTW, I used my CAD M179 / AKG C480b/CK61 / modified (read: kludged)
Rycote combo this weekend and the last. With string-wound hair ties for
support, it's *incredibly* sensitive to handling noise. And it's HEAVY.
3.5 lbs with windscreen. Hell on a boom.
I've ordered a sheet of Sorbothane from Edmund Scientific to try to make
suspension bands out of.
