DIY Windscreen / Deadcat from $6 ~ $9

Hello everyone, here is my latest DIY for a windscreen / deadcat for your shotgun microphone.  The best part is there is zero construction involved!  How you ask?  Well its simple, as I came up with the idea of using a furry seat belt pad as a windscreen itself.  All for only $6.30 at Meijer.  Now I did find one like this on amazon.com for about $6 in case you are unable to locate a local piece.  Below I have a video demonstrating it on and off in high speed winds so you can hear the difference!  I hope this becomes a popular alternative for some folks looking to film on the cheap.  Please make sure to comment on the video with any questions.  Thanks!
