Noted .. shall do as pm in future

@kronstadt .. my apologies I searched for the wrong one .. yeah .. and just looked at prices.

I buy quite a bit from BHP .. and often face the same dilemna when I am after something rather cheap.

Currently I have 2 items in my cart. The first I added is $28 (a short hihat locking handle) The freight comes to $32.

It appears that BHP have a intelligent freight system - based on both weight and volume.

I have added a cheap Hitech (cokin 85mm sized) low contrast filter for $27. The freight remains at $32.

I am pretty sure I can add several more items before the freight goes up.

I have seen in other forums that Adorama can be contacted by email where shipping is an issue and will investigate and/or send via economy UPS, rather than premium.

Those approaches are all I can suggest. Other than perhaps getting somebody local to you to order it in .. but the best price I found for a UK retail shop is 39 GBP

I have a WindTech Mic-Muff. Not sure if it's as good, but it's a lot cheaper than a Rode or Rycote.

My favorite DIY baby blimp for Oktava MK-012 and similar mics, 8:12

Do not forget to activate sub translator. This tiny blimp made of 7,2cm golf training ball and 20mm ID Grommet. Just make two 25mm slots for grommet and hell of smaller randome holes. Used dremmel (be careful, watch your fingers).
