Rode DeadCat VMP+ Features:
- OUTDOOR WIND CONTROL: Tames the gusts and buffeting that flatten the stock foam windscreen
- ACOUSTICALLY TRANSPARENT FUR: Long synthetic pile scatters moving air without dulling high-frequency detail
- MODEL-SPECIFIC FIT: Contoured exclusively for the VideoMic Pro+ body, not the older Pro or Pro-R
- SECURE RUBBER BASE: Grips the microphone and seals the rear so air cannot sneak into the pickup
- PLOSIVE TAMING: Softens breath pops and hard consonants on close-up dialogue
Rode DeadCat VMP+: Usable Outdoor Audio for the VideoMic Pro+
The Rode DeadCat VMP+ is an artificial-fur windshield made specifically for the Rode VideoMic Pro+, engineered to tame the outdoor wind noise the bundled foam windscreen simply cannot handle. It slips over the microphone and surrounds the capsule in a layer of long, soft synthetic pile that intercepts moving air before it ever reaches the diaphragm. The result is the difference between a shot you can use and one ruined by low-frequency rumble the moment a breeze picks up. If you shoot outdoors with a VideoMic Pro+, this is the small accessory that quietly saves takes.
How a Fur Windshield Actually Stops Wind Noise
Wind noise is not sound the microphone hears from a distance; it is turbulence, the pressure chaos of air physically striking and rushing past the diaphragm. Foam windscreens slow that air only slightly, so they cope with a gentle indoor draft but collapse against a real outdoor breeze. Artificial fur works on a different principle: the thousands of fine fibers create a deep, broken boundary layer that slows and disperses moving air across a much larger area, so the gusts lose their energy before they reach the capsule. Because the fibers are open and acoustically transparent, the pressure waves that make up actual sound pass straight through, which is why a good deadcat cuts rumble dramatically while leaving dialogue and detail intact.
When You Reach for the DeadCat VMP+
Pull the DeadCat VMP+ on any time your VideoMic Pro+ leaves a controlled interior. It is the essential layer for run-and-gun street shooting, travel and vlog footage, outdoor interviews, event coverage, and B-roll captured in open air, anywhere a breeze would otherwise turn clean audio into a wall of low-end noise. It also earns its place indoors for close-up dialogue and narration, where the fur softens the plosive bursts of breath that hit the capsule on hard P and B sounds.
Who the DeadCat VMP+ Is For
This is for the VideoMic Pro+ owner who shoots outside and refuses to gamble on the wind. Note the fit carefully: the VMP+ deadcat is molded for the VideoMic Pro+ only. If you run the older VideoMic Pro with the Lyre suspension, the DeadCat VMPR is your windshield instead. Matched to the right microphone, it is the inexpensive insurance that keeps every outdoor take clean.
