Giant Squid Underwater Camera

The Giant Squid lavalier microphones are very good inexpensive mics. However, a big however, they come with one teenie tiny windscreen that easily falls off. The very first time I used a GS outdoors, my talent lost the screen in the grass and I ran all over town looking for a replacement to no avail. Incredibly, Giant Squid does not have replacements. But they did recommend Amazon's Tetra-Teknica MNWSDP Mini-size Lapel Microphone Windscreen. So now I have a dozen of them in the drawer that do NOT fit the GS because the hole is too small and is not stretchable. The WLF-038-3 Foam Windscreens for 3/8 Diameter Microphones (3 Pack) from B&H to the rescue!! They actually fit the GS mic, but are considerably longer than they need to be; and are easily trimmed with a scissors. They are sorta thickish windscreens and might not be able to always be used underneath clothing without being seen. However, I haven't found that to be a problem yet. I bought a 3 Pack to test them and will definitely be buying more.

This is good if you want to plug a lavaliere like the Rode Lavaliere Go (or in my case, Giant Squid) into an XLR interface with phantom power. In my testing so far, I tried both a Rode Videomic GO Ii and my Giant Squid and turned on phantom power, and I did not have any problems getting it to work. The clip makes connection kind of awkward, but you really need to connect it to a cable instead of straight in your preamp.

I took shots at dark. The camera saw what I could not. It is going to be quite useful in my underwater adventures.

I need this product in my sealife underwater camera

keeps the dreaded underwater camera fog at bay.

This little giant is just awesome!

I highly recommend this if you have an underwater camera and want to make sure you don't lose it.

Use on O-rings for underwater camera housings

Phenomenal little giant
