Hello fieldrecorders,
i will get soon a stereo set MKH8020 for AB recordings and wanted to know what wind protections do you use on these mics. Cinela seems to give the best sound but it’s the most expensive and biggest in size. Are there any stable alternatives ?

Rycote
Rycote BBG is good for wide spaced mic pairs. There is an accessory furry windjammer to go with. Reasonably priced compared to the alternatives.
I use a pair of small Rycote Softies for mine. I like that they're easy to put on without any fuss, but if you're recording in very windy environments you might need something that offers more protection. Fortunately omni microphones are much less susceptible to wind than cardioids.

Personally I would suggest a pair of cinela Cosis. Fairly compact and in the same price range as rycote. A pair of small rycote baskets would work as well, but would be a fair bit bulkier.
Thanks ! i didnt look at the cosi until now. This looks nice. Do you know how they perform compared to cinela pia / piani ?
