I bought two of these for an outdoor shoot in the park where audio was critical, and I was very impressed. We fit them over the cheap foam windscreens that came with our shotguns (the kind that only work up to about 3 mph). One size fits all, although it takes a little squeezing and pushing to get them on, they do fit well and seal with velcro. We had gusts that felt like about 20 mph, and there wasn't a hint of wind noise recorded. They allow voice to pass through fairly well -- I didn't notice any impact on voice quality, at least for conversation.
I'm not sure if this would work in a 30 mph wind, but it's a great alternative if, like me, you can't afford a blimp system for every microphone.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Shotgun Microphones - 7":
I have two Windbusters for two matching Azden SGM-1X mic's, and they are mostly used for documentary filmmaking in Latin America.
The fit is good, they are definitely not any more distracting than the microphone itself to people who have never been on camera.
As most indoor locations in, say, Guatemala are dark, we do a lot of outdoor shooting and the sound is definitely better.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Shotgun Microphones - 7":
I use this product to cover my Rode Video Mic (shotgun mic) and it significantly reduces wind noise. However, the two don't fit 100% perfectly, and it does look a little awkward. I'm not sure that it affects performance though. Also, the little fibers/hairs fall out fairly easily.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Shotgun Microphones - 7":
I used this windsock over a Sennheiser ME66 microphone with its standard foam windscreen. It works reasonably well and I don't think it interferes with sound quality. It is a tough squeeze to get it over the foam windsleeve, but once on it it stays on.Good value for the price. I'm sure the Rycote windsock/blimp systems work better, but they also cost 5-10x as much.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Shotgun Microphones - 7":
I bought this windbuster for my Rode NTG-2 shotgun mic and so far it does exactly what it is designed to do, and that is to limit wind noise. It does this very well. My only complaint is that the little "hair" fibers on the windbuster seem to far out easily. I'm concerned that over extended use that too much of the "hair" could fall out and impede its performance but I won't know that until it happens.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Shotgun Microphones - 7":
This product does exactly what it is supposed to, although it is a pain to put on and it sheds some of the fur the first time, it is worth it for the wind protection. Definitely a good investment if you are shooting outside.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Shotgun Microphones - 7":
I used the Windbuster in my Rode shotgun microphone for a recording session in a reserve. The day was particularly windy and I thought that even with the windscreen, maybe there would be wind noise but, for my surprise, it worked! For the price I paid and the quality, it's a most!

I put this wind jammer on my shotgun microphone the first time out on a boat on the ocean doing a duck hunt. And it worked great! I could not believe how it stopped the wind noise. This was a steal for the money.If you do any out door filming, this wind jammer is a must.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Shotgun Microphones - 7":
I bought this Fuzzy Windjammer to reduce wind noise, which can be considerable here in the San Francisco Bay Area, with my AZDEN ECZ-990 Shotgun Mic. It attaches with Velcro and easily fits over the existing foam wind screen while providing considerable further reduction in wind noise without a corresponding reduction in sound pick up. I needed to add 1" spacers in the microphone clamp to prevent it from partly blocking the lens a low zoom, about $2 at the local hardware store. It folds flat and easily fits in my camera bag. Overall I am very pleased. My thanks to B&H for suggesting this item.

Comments about Pearstone Fuzzy Windbuster for Shotgun Microphones - 7":
Fits relatively good over the Rhode shotgun Microphone that I am using on a Canon EOS 60D DSLR. Is 30% cheaper than the rhode accesory so it was a goot buy. Used it in a windy situation. No buffeting, no windnoise whatsoever with still very clear pickup. No difference in sound when it is on, at leas what I could tell.

Not as good as a blimp, but very effective for the price. Cuts out most wind noises and protects the delicate diaphragm from stray gusts.
