Much better at wind resistance than the Rode foam as the material does an excellent job at minimizing noise especially in exterior areas when it comes to wind and other sounds

Wow! What a difference the wind shield makes! No more pops and snaps of wind bursts over the builtin microphone!
It's easy to use and has survived 6months+ of abuse in my camera bag.

This is a great shotgun mic for the price. It's not perfect, but is a large improvement over internal mics for DSLR/Mirrorless cameras.

Originally i wouldnt use a deadcat for my shotgun mic...but recently I had a wedding where it was very windy for the first look. The bride/groom were not mic'd and i couldnt pick up very well what they were saying. The deadcat has fixed that issue for those situations

Don't be fooled. This does NOT fit the Rode VideoMic Pro. This particular dead cat is for an older microphone, no longer produced, the Rode Go mic. There's no way to even McGyver this over the newer mic.
If you have the Go mic, this thing is excellent. They deaden wind noise absolutely. A requirement if you are recording sound outdoors.

I needed this fur cover for my rode pro mic so I could record outside without pesky wind whipping in the mic. I film for gardening so I have to film outside and it’s usually very windy where I am. I am excited to take it on the go and capture moments!

Great at blocking out wind noise, which this mic is very sensitive to. The only downside is that it adds a lot of size, making it more difficult to pack up.
