Artificial Fur Windshield for Rode Shotgun and On-Camera Microphones
The Rode DeadCat Wind Shield is a high-performance artificial fur wind cover designed to reduce wind noise when using compatible Rode microphones such as the VideoMic, NTG-1, and NTG-2. It fits securely over the microphone to limit air turbulence around the capsule, helping capture cleaner, more intelligible audio in outdoor or draft-prone recording environments.
Effective Wind Noise Reduction for Outdoor Recording
This windshield is engineered for use in windy conditions where standard foam covers are not enough. The artificial fur construction slows down fast-moving air before it reaches the microphone capsule, significantly reducing low-frequency rumble and wind interference. This makes it a reliable accessory for outdoor video production, field recording, interviews, and location sound work.
Acoustically Transparent Material Preserves Sound Quality
The synthetic fur used on the DeadCat Wind Shield is designed to remain acoustically transparent while controlling airflow. This allows dialogue, ambient sound, and environmental audio to pass through naturally without dulling high frequencies or altering tonal balance. The result is wind protection that maintains clarity and detail in recorded audio.
Designed for Secure Fit on Compatible Rode Microphones
Shaped specifically for Rode microphones such as the VideoMic, NTG-1, and NTG-2, the DeadCat Wind Shield provides a snug, stable fit that stays in place during handheld use, boom operation, or camera-mounted setups. This secure fit helps ensure consistent coverage and dependable performance during active shooting conditions.
Useful for Both Outdoor and Indoor Airflow Control
While primarily intended for outdoor use, the DeadCat Wind Shield is also effective indoors where airflow from HVAC systems, fans, or open windows can introduce unwanted noise. It provides consistent protection across a variety of recording environments, making it a versatile tool for content creators and audio professionals.
Lightweight and Practical for Mobile Production
The DeadCat adds minimal weight or bulk to your microphone setup, making it suitable for portable rigs and mobile workflows. It can remain installed during transport or be quickly added when conditions change, supporting efficient production without slowing down setup time.
