With some speakers the wind just covers our voices, with others it is loud. This video wasn't a major project, but more a a spontaneous collaboration and experimentation. Future videos (like Tristan's, linked to at the end) will correct this problem. Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, the wind noise is a problem, but I read in other comments that you've figured that out, so I won't go on and on. The location is amazing! Beautiful, dramatic, but not so busy that it distracts from the fighters. And you have fixed the noise problem, you should film here often.
I like a lot your techniques performance and clear explanation, Scenery is lovely, but I strongly suggest to remove the sound and do voice over. Listening to the wind is painful.
Easy way to kill the wind sound. Tape a piece of gauze over the front mic. The mic is a small hole in the front. The tape goes around the edges only, not over the hole. Only the gauze goes over the hole. This acts like a windscreen. A piece of pantyhose or other fine mesh will also work but can be a pain to tape down. The wind sound is the wind entering and bouncing off the edge of the mic hole.
I liked it, never the less. It has been a while since I've seen much from you all, though I think MEMAG has changed substantially since I spoke to you all last!

Tristan (the other fencer in this video?) has a HEMA channel? I'd like to check it out, but the links in the video don't work for me.
is the usual hit locations are head, neck and arms ?

brainplay Thanks! While filming we didn't realize how much distortion it was going to cause; we'll definitely take this advice next time!
You brought swords to a mountain? 🤔🤨

Michael Eversberg II Thanks. That is the reason I no longer get into internet debates. My work can speak for itself.

Michael Eversberg II Thanks! I'm not sure we've changed all that much. Some things make more sense now, however!
Beardbro has no sound.
