Hola amigos---
I've got an outdoor recording gig coming up, and I'll be recording a 30 member choir and accompanist. I'll be setting up the PA and recording from the board, using 4 small diaphragm mics. But the one big thing that worries me is wind noise. I have cheapie pop filters for each mic, but I think I really need to be using something like a "Blimp" or "zeppelin" covered with fur like you see when they record a commercial or movie outside.

Problem is, I don't want to spend $50 each on 4 blimps for this one project. Can anyone give some ound suggestions on how you might be able to build something to isolate mics from wind noise?
 
your local music store probably has foam windscreens for a couple of bucks.
 
Although it may come down to $200 for zep's and a usable recording vs. $20 for foam and no usable recording.

You can probably rent some zep's from a AV/Film rental house.
