What is in front of this woman?

In this video the woman has a huge furry thing in front of her. Is that part of her coat? Or is it some sort of ridiculously oversized cover for the microphone? †Dismas†|^(talk) 14:10, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it is a microphone cover, that's probably used because it makes the microphone less susceptible to wind noise. - Lindert (talk) 14:14, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The video wouldn't play for me, but a ridiculously oversized, furry cover for a microphone sounds like a dead cat: [1]. StuRat (talk) 14:16, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I didn't know it had such a colorful name! †Dismas†|^(talk) 14:38, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Never let it be said that audio engineers don't have a sense of humor (though it's often a bit juvenile). General Ization ^Talk 17:40, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
