For those of you audio experts:
Recently I purchased a Sennheiser ME66 shotgun mic with the K6 power unit and a standard velour foam windscreen. I use it on a Philips 700 series DVCPRO camera. Overall it is a great mic. It is sensitive enought to pick up the sound of the camera humming if I mount it directly. My problem comes with very loud noises or wind. I have to turn the audio on the cam as low as possible and it still overmodulates or the sound "pops" off.
For the most part it has been great but I am concerned for when I have to do an important shoot in a noisy place like an airport or a loud factory.
Should I invest in a "Fun Fur" wind screen and set the camera to "line" instead of "mic" in loud conditions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
