From Manufacturer
The RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote Kit with Fur Windshield from B&H adds an artificial fur windshield to the camera-mount microphone to provide an outdoor-ready solution that can stand up to high-wind conditions.
The Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote from Rode builds on the success of the Stereo VideoMic Pro with a few improved upgrades such as a Rycote Lyre shockmount, higher-sensitivity X/Y capsules, denser foam windscreen, better RF shielding, and a thicker Kevlar braided cable. The microphone retains all of the switch locations and other features as the previous model, for use as an on-camera DSLR and camcorder microphone for video applications.
The integrated Rycote Lyre shockmount system protects against handling noise. The Stereo VideoMic features a high-pass filter switch at 75 Hz for minimizing low-frequency noise, and a -10 dB pad for maximizing headroom on behalf of capturing loud signals without distortion. The +20 dB level-boost switch is specifically designed to provide a higher-quality signal with DSLR cameras. When activated, the camera preamp level is reduced, resulting in a lower noise floor and a much clearer recording.
The RODE Dead Kitten Artificial Fur Wind Shield is designed for use with the RODE Stereo VideoMic, RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro, RODE Stereo VideoMic Pro Rycote, RODE WS4, and RODE NT4 microphone. It's specially designed with artificial fur that minimizes wind noise, while also remaining acoustically transparent. The Dead Kitten is actually the exact wind shield included with the Stereo VideoMic and is designed to suppress noise caused by high wind while outdoors.
