Re: Wind/LF energy through tripod/stand

["E Karel" lerake]

Interesting point about going lower.  My sense of this had always been to 
approximate the height of a human head, but I haven't tried comparing 
head-height with knee-height.  Wouldn't the 'reach' of the mics be somewhat 
less down low?

I've been surprised by the LF content in recordings I've made in wind, with 
full Rycote zeppelin/windjammer, and also wondered about the effect of the wind 
on the stand itself, and the cables.  Going lower is one remedy, but does 
anyone wrap fur around their stands or anything like that?
