Testing Custom Dead Cat

Testing Custom Dead Cat

I purchased some faux fur and made a custom dead cat to fit over mics and my recorder. It was a pain to sew but hopefully helps in windy conditions. I added pull cords to ensure a snugger fit. I plan to build a DIY blimp soon which was also the reason for such a big dead cat. I used SE 7 matched pair with […]
