There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So I finally bit the bullet and bought this 'deadcat'. It works. And now I wish I had bought it a while back. Small breezes that used to sound like crackling thunder are no longer even heard. Strong, hat-holding, wind sounds like ... wind, and voices can still be clearly heard above the background wind noise.
Cons ... I did have to trim back some of the dead cat hair as it would hang down over some of my lenses, especially on a windy day, but, really, that's a non-issue. And the dog thought it was a toy for him when it arrived ... that almost ended badly for the dead cat and the microphone inside it when I left it on my desktop. Lesson learned there.
Bottom line ... it fits my Rode boom mike with room to spare. It works. It's worth the price. Hope this helps.
Only complaint is that some of the "fur" sheds. Keep it in a ziplock if you keep it with your gear or else you could get cat hair everywhere. Just like a real cat.
I chose a phantom powered XLR input Azden mic. (SGM PDII)
This rode wind muff popped up in related products to i figured it was the same size.
i found out later it was a little bit too long, it comes into view , so either invest more money into a shockmount that hopefully works or give it a good haircut.
The product itself does help reduce wind noise pretty well.

そりゃ、長い方が風は抑えれますが、抜けた時に大変なことになります。
これは経年劣化して、毛が抜け始めたらすぐに捨てた方がいいですね。
しかし、目的は十分に果たしています。屋外での収録時は風切音を提言してくれますし、ショットガンマイクが少し画角に入ってもデザインがもふもふなのでバレにくくなりました(笑)
ということもあり、毛が長いのは商品自体の特徴なので、星4です。
