How To: Making a DIY Blimp Microphone Enclosure and Fuzzy Windscreen with Boom Pole and H4N mount

I waited a LONG time to make this video! In this DIY video I show how I made my Zeppelin or Blimp Microphone enclosure and also a fuzzy windscreen (AKA "Dead Cat") I also show what I use for a boom pole, All parts purchased for less than $50. ALSO - I show a solution for using the Zoom H4N in monitoring the audio while operating the boom pole. (I came up with a way to mount it so I can have it readily available while operating the boom mic). (EDIT) Here are some links, but if you don't have a Menard's close by, you will have to go to your local pet or hardware store for something SIMILAR.
