You might want to consider the Rycote Softie, which is pistol grip and
hairy wind protection / still air cavity in one. I use this with a
ME66 - it is cheaper and lighter than a full basket system. The latter
would work in higher winds byt the softie is okay in up to about 8-
12mph winds and I find the wind rusting in vegetation limits what can
be done in higher winds anyway.
You can homebrew the shockmnount and wind protection but it tends to
end up heavier than commercial alternatives. Which is fine for a fixed
mount but not so good for a handheld rig. The Softie was the right
price/performance for me, and a lot cheaper than the equivalent full
basket rig.
