Included Windjammer
The included Windjammer facilitates wind attenuation while preserving transparent audio transmission

Had a MKH416 for about a year plus and only just invested in this. Loved the build of it and all the extra things that came with it. Quality wise it did as advertised.

Does this have enough clearance to mount an MKH ...

Does this have enough clearance to mount an MKH 418?
Asked by: Girard
No. The Rycote 010324 Windshield Kit is intended for use with microphones that are 9.84" (250 mm) long and between 0.75 to 0.98" (19 to 25 mm) in diameter. The Sennheiser MKH 418S Stereo Shotgun Microphone is 11" (280 mm) long with a 0.75" (19 mm) diameter, so it is too long for this particular windshield. As a compatible model for the MKH 418S, you can use the Rycote 086069 Modular Windshield Kit WS 3 with XLR-5F and Connbox CB4 (B&H # RYMWS3STKIT).
