Tim,
thanks for sharing feedback on the DPA Windpac.
I'd been looking at these myself and hoping one would
show up on ebay someday since it's so darn pricey.

does it work well, minus the handling noise?
my use would mostly be in conjunction with
a video camera mounted on a tripod (I need my
hands for the camera controls) and so
I might could trade off the handling noise
for small (packed) size and light weight.

I'd be using it with a 20/30 combo for now,
and either 40 or 50 with the 30 later.

cheers,
clay
