  1. geowel

    This product is price well. I partnered it with my Rode microphone. It really do it’s job. Well made and useful especially in using an outside coverage. Highly recomended

  2. Jeff

    This deadcat windshield worked flawlessly when use with the Rode mic.

  3. Mags

    This accessory has been a great addition to our camera experience. It has greatly enhanced the outdoor photography.

  4. Aradaw

    It’s expensive but fast delivery and it does the job

  5. OAlonzo

    Simple, nicely design, and durable! this products does what it was created to do, nothing more and nothing less to say about this product.

  6. Will

    I used this for my rode mic and I’m glad that I choiced this one.

  7. Stateofmind

    I felt like it didn’t really block out wind noise.

  8. mikeraw

    Easy to install, and works great! It does exactly what it say it does.

  9. Bigmep

    It is hard to fit it over the mic but it does really help quiet wind noise.

  10. WGRIII

    The fit of this product over my rode mic was pretty tight. It did a decent job blocking out “normal” Oklahoma wind noise, but if you are going to be in a super windy situation and require absolute cancellation, you may want to consider stepping up to the blimp. But, if you are looking for something cost effective for a majority of windy situations, this thing does the job.

  11. Oneluvoneheart

    Dead cat For my roads microphone work great during windy conditions filming a video

  12. PizzlesTechTime

    I thought this was the dead cat that would replace the original microphone cover, however it just goes over the original cover on the videomic pro. I’ve been recording using this indoors just to test the audio and it seems to get the same great audio the mic gets usually.

  13. TyWills

    This is very good if I was there recording it blocks the wind very well providing a crisp beer sound I do recommend it

  14. Keon

    Ain’t anything better than this won’t be disappointed at all

  15. Tony

    Good product didn’t fit what I needed for overall k

  16. Dominic

    Very good mic works right out the box without having any issues easy to set up

  17. Gekek

    Seems to help to get a better sound when it’s windy outside definitely

  18. Mezo

    This, thankfully, doesn’t smell like a deadcat. It is a little big for the VM Pro, but it works like advertised. Don’t worry about the wind, just the strays that look at you funny holding this thing. Not really an audio expert or taxidermist, but this works like it should and is easy to put on, unlike my stuffed cat, that just sits there.

  19. xthexundyingx

    I love Rode mics, and this deadcat helps alot to cut down wind noise

  20. Customer

    Works great, no interferences and comes in clear. Use it for parties and ads

  21. Jakedean33314

    It works great to cut out wind and really not that expensive

  22. Ceasar

    It Is not compatible with Pro Plus. . I have to Purchase a different one.

  23. BHCo

    Essential for shooting video in windy environments.

  24. TechSFO

    Good product, quality and price for professional jobs.

  25. Jbrewerohio

    this will help to muffle any background noise. worked nice

  26. LiamPhotoATL

    A friend who shoots tons of video suggested I get this to help with background noise while shooting Youtube videos for my abandoned buildings project. It seems to help with wind noise but doesn’t seem to help much is traffic noise.

  27. gutestudio

    Feels like a real cat! It was a little difficult putting it on my Rode Video Mic Pro Plus but a how to instruction video on Youtube helped.

  28. DNPP

    Purchased this as an addition to the microphone and pleased with the item.

  29. Basit

    This dead wind shield is a beautiful look to be outdoor in public recording. Specially if there is a lot of background noise or wind, dead wind shield helps to make your recording smoother.

  30. BinkyBarns

    Yessir, this thing deadens all wind noise. Even though the product code is impossible to understand, it does fit the Rode VideoMic Pro. It is a snug fit. You leave the foam cover on the mic, and put this over the foam.

  31. AmbitGuy

    Local photo/video stores didn’t have this item, and I needed it before some online warehouse could ship it to me. A quick online check at BestBuy.com and I found a local BB store that had two of these items.
    Went to the store and asked the guy at the entrance where I could find a “Deadcat”. Of course he thought I was joking. I got help from another person, returned to the entrance watcher, and showed him that indeed they sell a “Deadcat”.

  32. Kevin21

    I love to use highly recommended for really enjoyed

  33. tStep

    Fit and works great on the mic. Cuts the wind like butter.

  34. JohnThreeSixteen

    Fits like a glove on my videomic pro. Glad to have it on hand whenever I am outside shooting video.

  35. jkalman25

    It definitely blocks out wind noise effectively. While it helps it is also not a cure all – if it’s super windy you will still have some effect from the wind. Considering the price point it is a good place to start if you are encountering wind noise issues while shooting outdoors

  36. Matt

    It works, but not as well as you’d think and many of the reviewers say. Sometimes, wind is gonna win out. My tip is to try and remember to keep wind at your back, using that as a shield, if you can, with a smaller camera.

  37. Austin

    It helps with the wind like it’s supposed to. This isn’t a capsule though and if you’re mounting on your camera, the mic is still susceptible to wind noise.

  38. Reviewer2020

    This was suppose to be included with my microphone which it wasn’t, best buy did the right thing by providing credit to purchase one and it works wonderful. It blocks unnecessary wind and makes for even an interview mic, very professional sounding.

  39. Freddy

    Makes the sound better when outdoors easy to put on

  40. TomP

    Excellent addition to the Rode VideoMic Pro+. No matter how good your microphone is, you’ll want to cut down on the wind noise for better sound quality. This DeadCat was made especially for this microphone and does a good job.

  41. Awesome

    This really elevates the sound quality on your microphone when shooting outdoors.

  42. Deej

    Great product definitely would recommend for anyone to buy this product ASAP

  43. Darrin

    Works as intended. It’s just a dead cat after all. Could be cheaper.

  44. Duck

    As described. Will come in handy, even for a novice like myself!

  45. BILL

    It does what it’s supposed to, cut down on wind noise. Not much else to say, it’s a very simple product.

  46. Dappersons

    Overpriced should be included in purchase of a $200+ mic

  47. Max1030

    If the wind is blowing you need it.. Appreciated the name brand quality

  48. Mickel

    My favorite mic to this day. I love how compact it is for everyday travel.

  49. user884615

    Exactly what my grandson wanted for Christmas. He was thrilled.
