iPhone 6s. Taking a video outdoors. It sounds like a hurricane.

July 3, 2019 7:10 AM

I would love to take more outdoor video with my phone, but every video sounds like I'm Jim Cantore standing in the middle of a hurricane, when I'm really just on the beach with a slight breeze. Are there hacks to muffle the sound of the wind on my phone without resorting to a "dead cat" or one of those furry things that professionals use? A similar question was asked in 2011, in case someone has come up with a better but still stupid simple option.

Best answer: Generally, even a slight wind will create horrific noise on microphones unless they're shielded from it. Something like this might be doable to cut the noise.
