I like it ...
Size: Einheitsgröße Style: DeadCat Windshield
I put off buying this for about a year because of the price ... $39 seemed expensive for a fuzzy sock. However, I began doing more interviews in the field for short videos related to a non-profit I volunteer for. The wind noise with my Cannon 70D was a real issue ... people thought it was thunder when they heard the audio - and where I live wind is almost always a factor. I needed to do something. Searching through the internet for solutions kept bringing me back to this product. So I finally bit the bullet and bought this 'deadcat'. It works. And now I wish I had bought it a while back. Small breezes that used to sound like crackling thunder are no longer even heard. Strong, hat-holding, wind sounds like ... wind, and voices can still be clearly heard above the background wind noise. Cons ... I did have to trim back some of the dead cat hair as it would hang down over some of my lenses, especially on a windy day, but, really, that's a non-issue. And the dog thought it was a toy for him when it arrived ... that almost ended badly for the dead cat and the microphone inside it when I left it on my desktop. Lesson learned there. Bottom line ... it fits my Rode boom mike with room to spare. It works. It's worth the price. Hope this helps. ... show more

Size: Einheitsgröße Style: DeadCat Windshield
I bought this for a skit i did for youtube and it works. I was recording outside on a windy day and you couldn't really hear the wind, and it doesn't muffle sound so the quality of the video is still good. CON: The only bad thing was that the wind was blowing the "fur" down and you can just barely see it at the top of the video. If you were making a more professional video that fur in the video could be a problem. Overall i recommend it. ... show more

Great accessory to have in the bag
Size: Einheitsgröße Style: DeadCat Windshield
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. ... show more

Works great
Size: Einheitsgröße Style: DeadCat Windshield
Despite what the name of the product is, this is not a real dead cat. I was hoping for an actual dead cat when I ordered this, but when I received the Deadcat Wind Muff, I actually realized, "Hey, I have a Rode NTG2 Microphone this would work on." So instead of giving a 1 star because it wasn't the dead cat I was looking for, it gets 5 stars for being a very functional wind muff. Only complaint is that some of the "fur" sheds. Keep it in a ziplock if you keep it with your gear or else you could get cat hair everywhere. Just like a real cat. ... show more

Works better than advertised
Size: Einheitsgröße Style: DeadCat Windshield
Simply fantastic! After a few video projects that were marred by poor audio, I knew I needed a wind muff for my outdoor jobs. Since I had a Rode microphone, this seemed to be the logical answer to my problem. I expected it to work seamlessly and it did. Really, there is not much to say beyond that. The cover cuts down wind noise nearly completely, and left me with fantastic audio at the end of the shoot. I really cannot say enough about how well this cover works! ... show more

my mistake
Size: Einheitsgröße Style: DeadCat Windshield
seems slightly thin, i thought it would be thicker. i feel like it should have been made of something like one of those fur coats (or fake fur). some of the hairs were falling out. but doesn't matter anyway, i bought it because i couldn't find one for the azden mic i bought so i bought this while cringing at the price. if you don't have the Rode mic this was designed for don't waste your money. it might be great for the Rode mic, but i wouldn't know. ... show more

Highly recommend if you do any recording in noisy
Size: Einheitsgröße Style: DeadCat Windshield
I was a bit skeptical that this would change the noise when I use my Rode external mic but I tested it in the wind and the results were impressive. Without out it you can hear me talking but you can also hear the wind. With it on, the sound of the wind is basically gone. Highly recommend if you do any recording in noisy, windy conditions. ... show more
