Wind muffler for NX500

I've seen various wind mufflers around but none that would seem to work that well with the nx500.

I was wondering if one exists that can attach to the hotshoe, like on the Sony ZV-1? I've googled it and there's nothing like it out there. Incidentally the ZV-1 wind muff fits the nx500 but only covers one mic. I'm guessing that this could be a partial solution if I remove the sound from the other mic in post?

I'm thinking I could maybe make my own version, would this work?

Any other solutions to stopping wind noise?

Just use some easily removable adhesive and stick some "dead cat" material (I used to use a part of my wife's old thick scarf and some white adhesive aimed at attaching posters to walls without damage). It worked ok, but I ended up with Zoom H2n and syncing in post. YMMV.

It is quite easy and I have done it to mine.

Just buy a special one from Rycote (don't remember which one I bought, I believe there is a round universal one), slice it in two (scissors)  and put one half left and one half right. It's done!

I have it for 2 years now with heavy use and they are still there!
