Impressive Wind Dampening
Really impressive at killing wind noise in low wind. Make sure to add a top end boost as this muffles the higher frequencies slightly - a know pro tip when using dead cats. If you're looking for total wind isolation in windy conditions i would reccomend the Blimp, but this is great if you're on a budget.

Great Windshield
Great windshield, fits the Rode NTG 2 perfect on my Canon XF305. Great noise reduction on a windy day. Go out and get one.

Essential for outside audio
Bought mine for my Rode NTG-1 that attaches directly to an expensive Canon XA10 camcorder and with an extra short XLR cable, video productions are now professional looking and sounding while shooting outdoors. This dead cat can help minimise that annoying hidden wind rumble that occurs when recording out in the open air and with a bit of gain control via the camera, wind blowing over the mic with this dead cat attached can be better controlled.It's a tight snug fit over the NTG-1 microphone, to a point where I'm probably going to leave it attached permanently to the mic and camcorder. Having this dead cat attached to a pro-camera seems to draw a great deal of attention when out filming, where many approach asking what I am filming /recording, more so than not having the dead cat attached.Mine got delivered from France to the UK and upon ordering the supplier immediately sent a message they were currently out of stock but expecting a new batch to arrive. I got mine in less than 10 days and pleased they let me know of stock levels and happy to wait as it's sort of crucial to have for outside recordings. Not much more to really say about this product apart from it's built to fit NTG-1 & NTG-2 and an essential attachment for out side recordings, just like the pro's have.

Stays on the shotgun
Less expensive wind shields have fitted loosely on my shotgun mikes and none of my attempts to prevent them sliding off have been completely satisfactory. This deluxe mike has a plastic fitting on the open end which self-adjusts to different widths of mike and grasps them securely. I have still to use it in testing conditions, but am impressed that it will help solve my problems with the cheaper wind shields. There seem to be two problems. Firstly, they are more expensive. Secondly, reviews suggest that the fitting does not last forever. My current impression is that the advantage greatly outweighs the disadvantages.

Makes a big difference
This is really helpful in light to medium windy conditions. It does a good job of reducing the wind noise. Haven't pushed it to the max yet in very windy conditions, but feel confident enough to do so. It's made a very positive difference to my filming. I'd say it's a must have if you're shooting outdoors.

Deluxe Windshield for Rode NTG2
Works great on my rode mic, much improvement over the standard one that comes with the mic. Excellent for outside use.

Seems pretty decent. Looks nice and well made.
Pretty good. Certainly doesn’t cut out all wind though. Haven’t done direct tests compared to the original foam shield (or cheaper alternatives) but i recommend it. Certainly get a blimp if you’re outside and need absolutely zero wind, no matter the conditions.

Climate Changer
Seems to have stopped any wind noise by somehow affecting the climate ... its been gloriously still every time I've shot outside since purchasing this, If Rode do umbrellas I will have one as it will probably never rain again.

These are popular for a reason
Notice how many of these you see used on TV interviews in the age of Covid? They are reasonably affordable and work in all but the heaviest winds. Then you'll need a blimp. Having said that I live in a very windy area but this has never failed to cut wind noise.Fits nicely on my Rode NTG2.

Buen anti viento hasta 25 km/hora.
Muy buen parabrisas y antiviento. Pero cuando en exterior el viento pasa de 30 km/hora aprox se cuelan los malditos ruidos tan indeseados. Es cuestión de mirar el tiempo (si no tienes otra cosa) y trabajar en función del viento que hará durante el día. Sí tienes un día que el viento pasa de 27 o 30km/hora mejor rueda en interior, pero en general cumple muy bien su función.

Filtert zuverlässig auch das Rauschen in der Waschmaschine
The media could not be loaded. Der Røde Windschutz WS-6 ist so ein Teil, über das man sich erst einmal beim Kauf ärgert, dass es so teuer ist. So ein kleines Teil für über 40 Euro zu verkaufen ist schon recht fordernd. Zudem bleibt es bei vielen Kameraeinsätzen einfach im Rucksack, da man es meistens gar nicht braucht. Wenn man es jedoch braucht, dann ist es plötzlich unbezahlbar, wenn man einen vernünftigen Ton aufnehmen will. Bei mir war dies das erste Mal in Innsbruck auf der Skischanze der Fall. Ein wirklich kräftiger Wind wehte dort oben und ich wollte unbedingt die Stimmung der Sportler aufnehmen. Wie gut, dass ich an diesem Tag den Windschutz dabei hatte und ich hierdurch den Live Ton aufnehmen konnte. Mit dem Standardschaumstoff hätte ich ansonsten nur ein Windrauschen im Ton gehabt.Seitdem habe ich bei vielen weiteren Einsätze (auch bei sehr starkem Wind z.B. am Strand) mit dem Windschutz gearbeitet. Die Tonaufnahmen waren bis zum heutigen Zeitpunkt immer exzellent bei einer minimalen Dämpfung. Windgeräusche sind quasi nicht wahrnehmbar. Lediglich das Eingangssignal an der Kamera habe ich teilweise leicht nach oben korrigiert.Bei der Verwendung mit einem Røde NTG4 ist zu beachten, dass im Weitwinkel der Kamera eventuell ein paar Franzen des Windschutzes im Bild zu sehen sind. Bei mir ist dies nur minimal. Man sollte dies vorab selber einmal bei seiner Kamera testen. Des Weiteren werden die Knöpfe (z.B. zur Dämpfung) des Mikrofones durch den Windschutz verdeckt, da dieser recht lang ist. Versehentlich aktiviert habe ich jedoch noch nie einen der Druckknöpfe bei der Nutzung des Windschutzes.Jetzt kommen wir noch in die Rubrik „Machen Sie das niemals nach!“:Leider ist mir mein Windschutz bei einem Wechsel auf den Standardschutz in den Dreck (Pfütze) geflogen. Daraufhin habe ich den Windschutz zuerst zu Hause getrocknet, den ersten Dreck abgekämmt und ihn anschließend in die Waschmaschine in einem Wäschesack gesteckt und gewaschen. Danach habe ich den Windschutz erneut im Wäschekeller getrocknet, ihn noch einmal gebürstet und er ist absolut wieder top. Das hätte ich nicht erwartet.Daher mein Fazit: „Hält mehr, als es verspricht und ist auch für den robusten Einsatz (auch in der Waschmaschine) voll geeignet.

The Deadcat is a waste of money, get this
Ok I got the deadcat 4 years ago and I boy was I dissapointed. Works in light winds but still picks up a WOOSH here and there. Thankfully this thing has dropped in price. It's WAY better. Great examples of it on youtube. If you already own a deadcat, I'd recommend figuring out how to wrap it around some tougher foam. There are examples of how to make cheap windscreen but if yo ualready ahve the deadcat material which is probably better than what you can get at walmart, than you are 90% there. Anyway if you don't have any windscreen, get this. It's GREAT.
