Softie Windshield
The Softie Windshield is a slip on open cell foam, with an integral fitted fur cover. The Softie will reduce wind noise and protect your microphone, and is the standard world-wide in TV.

• A robust and practical windshield (70mm in diameter) performing as well as a standard windshield (without Windjammer).
• The Softie alone provides a fast, flexible and cost effective solution for ENG on camera microphones (see Camera Mounted Softies).
• Constructed of an acoustic foam base covered by a specially designed synthetic fur fabric together with a separate shockmount with its own bracket and either pistol grip handle or boom adaptor.
• 30mm long fur, giving protection up to 25dB wind noise reduction.
• Available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular microphones.

Softie Mount

• The main component of the Softie mount is a one piece EPDM diaphragm shockmount. It is extremely robust and has been tested in all environments to ensure it performs.
• Comes in three sizes:
• Small Hole 19-20mm diameter
• Medium Hole 21-22mm diameter
• Large Hole 24-25mm diameter
• The mounts are 58mm diameter x 56mm long, and support short to medium length shotgun microphones.
• The Softie mount will only fit shotgun microphones. It cannot be used to mount microphones that taper.
• The longest Softie Windshield has an internal length of 32cm (12-1/2")

The mount is simple but effective.

The attachment below the mount is determined by the intended use of the mount:

Pistol grip handle 

Multimount V2 hotshoe mount

CCAv2 Dual purpose adaptor for boompole or camera clamp mounting. 

 Camera Mounted Softie

Internally, exactly the same as the standard Softie Windshield. The Camera mounted Softie just has a shorter fur. The shorter fur allows the Softie to be mounted close to the camera lens without causing unwanted shadows.

• Specifically designed for camera-mounted microphones.
• Constructed of the same acoustic, open cell, reticulated foam and snug fitting end cap.
• Designed to avoid unnecessary shadows when working in camera-mounted conditions. Closely cropped dark grey synthetic fur, just 10mm high, offers lower profile and a more compact design without severely altering the efficiency of the Softie.
• Available for the same range of microphones as all standard Softie windshields.
• Previously known as Short Haired Softies. Camera mounted Softies are also available in the standard length Softie fur (30mm).
