This is another area that Walt and I don't agree on and that is OK.

Windscreens are an area where you can build your own and come up with
good designs that work well and can easily exceed some very expensive
designs. Feel free to invest $20.00 and try out your own and see if
you can beat the $1,000 designs.

I prefer a Shopvac filter element bought from a hardware store, some
high tech rubber bands for the mic suspension and a couple food
strainers with the handles cut off for the ends.  Then you can find
either single layer knit hats or hand sew some fake (faux) fur for a
cover.  I use 1" aluminum bar stock with washers and small bolts to
mount to a handle or tripods.=20

There has been many posts here with very fine home made designs and a
little play will get you going in style.
