So I found out today (what I suspected...) that the stock wind screens on the KM184's won't suffice in moderately windy conditions. Any suggestions for better ones?
How large are the DPA's compared to the Shures?
Ok, I'm kinda looking for smaller... less to carry around. So the DPA's should do well in most normal windy conditions (i.e not freak storm winds or hurricanes), and the Shures will stand up to pretty much anything?

I pretty much only use them indoors these days and stick with the Shure A81WS outdoors. I know, it doesn't help that my experience is different from other UA0896 users. YMMV.
My Shures work great. I tape at Red Rocks all the time and they've withstood anything RR can throw at them. I think it was at Panic last year and I had to use 2 hands to keep my stand from blowing away. No issues on the recording at all.
Anybody have pix of the Shures on their mics? So I can get a relative idea of size?
