“I like to have the smallest footprint possible because that attracts the least attention, which is important when you are recording wildlife, the best way to achieve this is with a lavalier microphone and a Windbubble.”

“I really like the Bubblebee Concealer products for lavalier microphones. The rubber mounts...and the metal guards stop friction noise from reaching my mic capsule.”

“I used a lavalier & a Windbubble and the result was fantastic, despite the wind blowing directly onto the microphone. You couldn't hear it at all. It was such a relief to have equipment I could trust.”
