Does it fit Rycote windshield #4?
Does it fit Rycote windshield #4?
We have not tested the Rode DeadWombat with the Rycote Windshield #4 (B&H # RYWS4) to be able to confirm compatibility, but it seems like it would be larger than desired for the Windshield #4. As a gauge for comparison, the Rycote Windjammer WJ4 (B&H # RYWJ4) is designed specifically for use with the Rycote Windshield #4. The WJ4 has a length of 500mm and an outer diameter of 125mm. The Rode DeadWombat is slightly longer and much wider than the Rycote WJ4. The DeadWombat has a length of 515mm, an inner depth of 508mm, and an outer diameter of 170mm. Rycote notes that a Windjammer is most effective when it fits tightly over the Windshield. Their Windjammers are designed so that their approximate length is about 50mm longer than the corresponding Windshield.

Does this Windjammer provide up to 50dB of Wind-Noise protection like the Rycote Windjammer for Rode Blimp(B&H #RYWJRODEBLMP)?
Rode has not provided an exact spec for the amount of wind reduction provided by the Rode DEADWOMBAT in dB, but it is a professional-level windjammer and will provide similar levels of wind reduction to other windjammers of this size.

question
How many inches long is the windshield - I have a shotgun mic (Azden SMG 2x) that is 10 inches long? Will this windshield cover it?
Hey Kurtis,The dead wombat goes over the Rode Blimp. The dead wombat wouldn't do you much good on it's own. You mount your shotgun inside the Blimp, then cover that with the Dead Wombat on windy days. If you just want wind protection, check our a windjammer (I think the link is below!)
