windscreen for vx-1000?? also, what is a good, all purpose external microphone?? Can't Post

hello-
I am looking for a windscreen for the onboard microphone of the vx-1000, does anyone have any suggestions where i can find one? ALso, could anyone recommend a good, resonably priced all purpose external microphone(i have the beachtek adapter). I have heard the sennheiser ME-80 is a good start. thanks so much

you can call 411 and they will fax you a sheet that will breakdown what you will get paid for what.
my friend left working full time for progression for reasons relating to money, and went back to freelance filming for 411.
thats all i know.
as far as skate filming, i was wondering how many people would be interested in a site similar to this forum, especially for skateboard filmers? i am working on the foundation of it right now. what are all the important things you would want to find on it?

I use the Rycote special 60 mini windjammer for my VX-2000. I can shoot in 30 mph wind without the mic noise. I got it from TAI Audio in Orlando, FL for $50. Rycote is a British company specializing in windjammers.
However you may be able to get by with wrapping something like insulation material around the mic. I haven't tried this but it is certainly worth a shot.
