IMPORTANT: The conditions of this demo are *Extreme* -- significantly more extreme than you would would encounter in real world scenarios. The fan is high velocity and less than a foot away from the Blimp, creating a combination of constant noise and airflow that you are unlikely to encounter outdoors. The Blimp is designed to block airflow, not excess noise, which it did remarkably well. When listing to this video on my phone speakers, which are biased towards high frequencies, there appears to be a constant, high-pitched "whoosh" that sounds like wind, however, it is actually mechanical noise from the fan blades and/or grille; no air is penetrating the Blimp. (Note: When the fan is turned off, the sound drops rapidly but the blades are still spinning, moving substantial volumes of air, which the Blimp effectively shields against.) There will definitely be more opportunities to demonstrate this Blimp in real world conditions so for now, view this as a worst case scenario. The true stars of this video are the microphones and preamplifier, which performed much better than expected under these awful conditions.
the only difference here from using it outside is that it captures the sound of the electric fan and you cannot somehow notice its wind noise reduction function.
I find this video interesting and informative.
