I have an R-09 too and use better gear as well, but it's nice to have a dec=
ent pocket
recorder. Why not try this as a cheap windshield for the R-09: Use a rubber=
band to hold
in place... and cut some panty hose. Stretch the hose over the top of the u=
nit covering the
mic elements and put the rubber band over it. The elements are actually und=
er those
silver/black covers so the panty hose would act kind of like a pop filter. =
Double them for
stronger winds. I haven't tried this yet, but it seems like it might work s=
ince the mic
elements are underneath the outer covers. The hose over those covers would =
create a kind
of "dead space" and cut down on the wind hitting the elements.
If it doesn't work, you can always stretch the cut hose over the lens of yo=
ur digital
camcorder. When zoomed in, the hose act like a lens filter making for a nic=
e soft image.
Best,
