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?
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.
Hi, yes this is a replacement for the original foam supplied with the VM GO, and a much better windshield option for recording outdoors. Hope that helps!

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?
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?
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.
