DeadCat GO Windshield for VideoMic GO Artificial Fur Wind Shield Furry Cover

I bought the dead cat for my Rode DDCGO DeadCat Go and it fitted all snuggly. It helps with the wind for sure, not sure about those 100mph + gusts of wind though so, if anyone got into that kind of environment, please let me know what was your experience. I use this mostly indoors next to my window on my workstation for vlogs. I also did used this on parties with loud DJ's the mic alone does a really good job but, this has helped it even more with crispy sounds. PROs: - Does what it is intended to do for the winds - Looks cool and literally looks like a dead cat Cons: - Calling it dead cat in public with cat lovers sounds like I offended them

I shoot video for weddings and action sports and this dead cat has become a necessity in my bag. I rely on it almost always if I am filming and recording onboard audio. Its great in less then perfect conditions and really works out well. Some complain that you have to have the original foam screen that comes with your Rode mic. I like that it slips over the foam because it gives me an added layer of protection against wind. I love this product and highly recommend it to anyone need to record audio in a run and gun type of situation.

I tried out the standard VideoMic (not Pro) before and was unimpressed by the build-quality and overall bulkiness. I've also tried a DSLR-geared XLR shotgun mic running into a Tascam DR-40, but found the sound to be tinny and full of hiss (I'd suggest using the Tascam's built-in mic instead). I decided to try the Pro model of the RODE VideoMic when I saw the cross promotion that RODE was running with Red Giant for a free copy of PluralEyes. If you need a compact, high-quality shotgun mic for DSLR video work, I'd say this is definitely the one to get. The +20dB gain feature on the mic is a huge asset – as others have noted, if you turn the camera's audio level down to about four clicks from the bottom and turn on the +20dB gain on the mic, the resulting audio is nice and clear. The Pro is considerably more compact than the standard VideoMic and seems better made overall. I've not had the chance to try the windscreen in appropriate conditions yet, but I can definitely vouch for the mic itself. If you need a versatile, easy to set up audio solution for DSLR video, I'd say this is the microphone to buy.

Ger knappt någon skillnad i brus när man sätter på den här.

Works great for general outside use and some light wind. Also looks better than the third-party options in my opinion.
