Gordon Hempton's setup for recording wind

[stephenvitiello]

 Has anyone constructed a setup similar to what Mr. Hempton describes in hi=
s book? I would love to see a photo as some part of the description confuse=
s me. Does it mean the stand is upside down and omnis suspended below? I fe=
el like it's obvious and I'm missing something but any guidance or a snapsh=
ot of what this looks like would be very much appreciated. Thank you.







 My DIY windscreen is a 5 foot tripod (fully extended) with the center colu=
mn inverted and the microphones hung below. The entire setup is then covere=
d with a layer of either mosquito netting, foam or both. While this looks l=
ike an embarrassing costume, no one is there to see you. The large enclosed=
 area between the microphone and the windscreen preserves fidelity and does=
 a remarkable job of imaging.
