I agree that should work for things like insects. Loss of flexibility
would not be a big problem for me, but the increased weight would be a
problem as I record mostly hand held.
I more or less fixed most of my problem when I bought the portadisc. I
do most of my recording in the dark, out recording with the Sony walkman
MD I used before, I'd have to use my headlamp to see the timer and
metering. That attracted insects even if just used briefly. With the
portadisc came a lighted display so I don't have to use my headlamp
except for watching where I step when walking around, which I don't do
while recording. The portadisc's bug light yellow display light does not
seem to attract insects at all. So, since getting the portadisc I'm more
likely to record the whine on a mosquito flying by the mic than a insect
hitting the dish.
