Hi Tom,
I did get the shock mounts with the NT1As, but I have been looking at your =
NT1A setup here....
http://www.pterodaktyl.co.uk/tag/rode-nt1-a/
Looks good! I'm not up to speed on some of the basics of wind protection. =
Like how much is too much, i.e., doesn't a cover of fur or fleece etc muff=
le the sound? And, does there need to be an air space around the mic? Wha=
t would happen if I just put a fur "sock" snugly over the mic?
I have a Valbon tripod though I might get something smaller and lighter for=
hikes. I have thin bungie cord (3 mm) I buy by the foot that might work f=
or shock lines.
I'm trying to keep it simple and portable and easy to set up. Any more inf=
o on your setup ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

so can definitely see the advantage of more mobile equipment. I'll need t=
