For wind protection, it does the job well, a huge improvement over any stock foam. Rycote build quality is excellent. This product will last. The fit is great on all mics I've used, snug, and doesn't introduce it's own noise. It's far larger than a foam screen, increasing the chance of your mic being seen by the camera that it's mounted on. Take a look at your rig before purchasing. Don't expect hurricane-proof results. You'll need a blimp for any critical sound on breezy days. But this is the best realistic option for on-camera shotguns.
It works and secures to the Sennheiser MKH50, it arrived with a combing brush; entertaining. This works perfectly well for blocking wind noise, I can use this with my MKH50 for outside use. The fit is snug but not too much so, feels like it was actually made to fit. It is hard to justify the very high cost of this; Rycote had the the product compatibility better know this item may have otherwise not been considering as simply a Unique sizing. This is the only item that I have found that fits correctly for the MKH50. Most other options being too small (with one item that can be force fit for 4 times lower price) and others that are clearly too large. I'd recommend this as an option. So far this is the best option.
