how big ya talking?  the dpas and the big ass shures fit.  the dpas are good but not great in windy conditions.  I've gotten noise when it really wasn't that windy.  however the shures are huge and could be over kill.  I keep both and the stocks in the bag for outdoors.

the DPAs are the ones I have been using.  Do you have part numbers for both these?

Brian (or anyone else): can you provide the approximate dimensions of the A81WS?  I've searched here and the 'net with no luck.

TIA
