 Bit pricey but works greateFeb 25, 2009
By Michael Simpson

I feel that the price is a bit high but it does keep the wind at bay when use on the Rode Video mic. Note that In real high winds I also have to set the lowpass filter on the Video mic to on.

For the windy situationsDec 01, 2007

Great wind shield to use on your mic while recording outside.
It cuts the strong wind, while getting good quality sound.

We do video. This is an excellent purchase. Works well. Thick, wraps sturdy and filters noise very well. Love it. Will buy more.

Works GREAT - from the front...Mar 05, 2011
By M. Scott Palmer
I bought this after an outdoor video shoot on a windy farm yielded a lot of audio ruined by wind noise. I was shooting with a Rode NTG-2 shotgun mic mounted on my camera with the standard foam windscreen, but no matter which direction I turned I couldn't get away from the constant wind noise caused by maybe a 5-10 mph wind, tops. Barely a good breeze to anyone else but me.
I got the Deadcat just in time for my second farm shoot on a nearly identically windy day. Worlds better. Almost all of my audio was perfectly clear, and any slight, occasional wind rumble that came through actually sounded like natural wind instead of jet blast.
However, and this is why there's no fifth star, the Deadcat has a weak spot: the opening. The whole thing just slips over the foam windscreen that you (hopefully) already have. If you don't have it, there's no way to secure it to your mic. But even slipped over the foam, there's no real way to tighten it down or cinch it up. The result is that the rear is still wide open, and any wind coming from behind is funneled straight into the mic. It took me a few shots to figure out what was happening, and I was able to stop that wind by simply reaching up and holding the Deadcat cloes with my hand. Next time, I'm going to have to bring an extra velcro cable strap, a rubber band, some Gaff tape, or something to close that up.
Finally, the thing really doesn't look like it should be as pricy as it is. Same as other reviews.
But for the most part, it works very well. Audio was far and away much better, and that's the point.

It's a Wind MuffJul 04, 2010
By Davis D
Work fine, stops the wind from killing your shoot. I use this with the RODE mono VideoMic, the best outdoor, under $200, setup you can get for audio.
