Aaron uses a WHB/N Windscreen
http://www.sonicstudios.com/access.htm#whb I'm not sure if Leonard
sells just the mount-windscreen or not but you can see how his design

Leonard at Sonic Studios does sell the windscreen and mount separately. A
shout out to Aaron X. and we would probably get him to explain how to design
your own, out of the wire off of wine bottle's corks and baby socks to form
a mesh bubble surrounding the capsules.
Warm Regards,
