Directional windscreen for SONY a7iv - Hack (SUB ENG)

This is my primary camera!
It's the Sony alpha seven mark four, it's the best camera I've ever owned, not only for photos but especially for videos… And that's why I use it the most. And often when I shoot videos I have to face a rather sneaky enemy: the wind. In fact, this camcorder has excellent microphones: the voice you are hearing comes directly from this camcorder. And here whole minutes can go wasted because of a slight breeze
a few years ago for outdoor shooting I bought a fairly good quality shotgun mic, which I sawed and transformed, finally connecting it to a preamplifier and on which I built a wind suppression frame with a synthetic fur covering what is commonly call the dead cat. Write me in the comments if you are interested in a video dedicated to this… However, I very often have to do everything together: both shoot the videos and manage the microphone with its tripod and its recording support. Long story short: I want to be able to use the microphones of the camera outdoors by suppressing the effect of the wind! To go from this… In seconds! To this… Noise suppressed - noise present… Want to see how I did it?
