Rode Dead Cat Wind Muff for NTG-1 and NTG-2 Microphones

Comments about Rode Dead Cat Wind Muff for NTG-1 and NTG-2 Microphones:

If you can't afford a full zeppelin, go with this cover. It doesn't fit many other mics but if you have an NTG-1 or 2 this is a cheap solution for high wind situations.

I bought this to cover up my Rode NTG-2 microphone that I purchased from the B and H used section and I find that it is a hit or miss. The little bit of filming that I have done outside I must admit has been pretty wind free, but if you have the mic hooked up to a camera that is on a car boom like I had it, it allowed for a good amount of wind to come through. The audio quality was still great it was just obnoxious.

As I own a Rode NTG-2 this was the perfect accessory. Yes there is a cheaper one available, but I would rather buy from the manufacturer of the microphone so I don't miss a beat. I know it will fit and work well.

Works fine, but the hairs keep coming out.

You are planning to shoot outdoors and there is no way in the whole universe that you have the power to control the environment?
Let me tell you one thing:
Wind will happen.
And putting some kind of cloth around the mic will make things worse.
So instead of gutting that teddy bear you had since you were two, buy this.
You won't regret it.

Great sound reduction when outside.

great for eliminating wind gusts from outdoor shots... i use the wind protector on the rode videomic mounted on a Sony HDR-XR500V camcorder and Sony VCLHGA07B Wide-End Conversion Lens for Camcorders w/Quick Attach. very sweet indeed.

Even though I'm against animal cruelty, this DEAD CAT is a must buy if you serious about shooting outdoors. It performed flawless even at sea with strong winds.

My mistake.

I used the Dead Cat on a Rode VideoMic on a Canon Vixia HV-30 with the Canon wide-angle lens.

Only after flying back from the windy outdoor shoot in Denver did I discover what looks like whisps of long hair flitting across the top of the frame! Because the Dead Cat's long hair is very light colored, I couldn't see it in the LCD camera monitor during the shoot, but they sure are noticeable on a large monitor. Ruined my outdoor interviews... and it actually shed hair all over my camera case!

However, the windnoise certainly was minimal, but that doesn't matter if the shot is ruined.

Use only on a boom, or when the mic is well away from the camera lens.

seems expensive but works great. fits well over the foam on my Videomic. I even use it inside to cut fan noises, it does cut a few db of the voice but its to be expected.

it protect win noise,

Comments about Rode Dead Cat Wind Muff for NTG-1 and NTG-2 Microphones:

Works well for cutting wind noise and pops. Rubs the chassis of the Videomic and causes horrible noise. Easy to correct by banding the end of it with velcro or similar to keep it from touching. More of a design issue with the Videomic than the deadcat.

Keeps the wind sound down at a great price. Easy to use.

Bought this to use with a Rode Videomic on Sony VX2000. The VX2000 is not know for its great audio quality. Major improvement with mic. The Deadcat windmuff drastically cuts down annoying wind noise. I keep on mic all the time.

[...] It is synthetic fiber, but it still works great. I use it with my Rode Video Mic and it muffs the wind something fierce!

Good product although the hairs do shed a bit. (For the record, Rode claims it is made of synthetic hairs and no animals were abused in the making of this product).

Seems to really do a great job in those windy shots. I guess Dead Cat is a well know thing to call these but I just think it is funny. I'm glad I have this in my bag!

Cut off the wind pretty good!
Lose a bit of fury but it's normal.
I recommand it.
