Replacement for OEM wind shield

By William
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-09-27

Had to replace the OEM wind shield because it literally fell off somewhere in Universal Studios Orlando. This one seems much more robust in fit and finish.

A tight fit

It fulfills its purpose fine. It's a tight fit for its designated mic, so you have to be careful when putting it on and taking it off, and also when plugging and unplugging the cable on the inside.

Does this fit over the foam or is it used in place of the foam?
Asked by: Anonymous
It fits over the foam. Blocks wind noise very well.

I've heard of some issues regarding wind when using this on the video mic go. I was wondering if anyone had practical experience with it in things such as wildlife photography or hiking. Specifically, I was wondering if the deadcat helps when it comes to the wind, and if it effects sounds such as birds chirping, or distant animal noises?
Asked by: Keyanv3
A deadcat for the Vieo Mic Go is absolutely necessary when outside in even slightly brezzy enviornments. It will help in reducing or stopping wind noise. It is designed to be "acoustically neutral" meaning it will not color or change the sound at all.

question

I lost the foam shield that came with the Rode VMGO Video Mic GO Lightweight On-Camera Microphone. What can I get as a replacement? Foam shield, dead cat, whatever fits.
Asked by: Anonymous
Try wrapping some foam (packing type) around it.

question

The answers below conflict. Some say this goes over the existing foam. Some say it replaces the existing foam which means it must come with foam inside. Can someone who's actually seen this answer does it come with the foam or just slip over the existing foam?
Asked by: Bob O.
You must take the existing foam off in order to put the windscreen on.

question

Does this wind shield also provide some degree of pop filter like filter effect?
Asked by: Joshua W.
I'm sure it would function that way to some degree, but you typically wouldn't use a shotgun mic close enough for plosives to be an issue.
