Rode DDC-GO DeadCat Go Artificial Fur Microphone Wind Shield for VideoMic GO, Black | Acoustically transparent artificial fur with noise reduction for VideoMic GO, outdoor recording and indoor use

I bought the dead cat for my Rode DDCGO DeadCat Go and it fitted all snuggly. It helps with the wind for sure, not sure about those 100mph + gusts of wind though so, if anyone got into that kind of environment, please let me know what was your experience. I use this mostly indoors next to my window on my workstation for vlogs. I also did used this on parties with loud DJ's the mic alone does a really good job but, this has helped it even more with crispy sounds.PROs:- Does what it is intended to do for the winds- Looks cool and literally looks like a dead catCons:- Calling it dead cat in public with cat lovers sounds like I offended them

I was doing videography in a marina when I had enough of the foam cover included with my RodeGo Mic - voices were drowned out by the light breezes in the area. Used this for the first time today (against fair winds), and the difference is clear. With a snug fit, this dead cat feels secure on the mic and, when scrolling through the footage, found voices (standing about 5 feet away from these individuals) to be noticeably clearer.Overall great quality product! Would recommend to anyone with that $26 in their price range.

Funciona

Perfect fit.

I use the Rode VideoMic Go that came with my Canon 80D Video Creator's Kit.The VideoMic Go ships with a foam mic cover with "RODE" written all over it. It doesn't work very well against the wind--so I bought this DeadCat.First I took off the RODE foam cover.Next I tried to slide on the DeadCat. However, it was a very tight fit. Initially, it seemed like I wouldn't be able to get it all the way on. Then I figured out that inside the DeadCat is a foam cover--the same as my original RODE foam cover (just without "RODE" written all over it).What was happening, was the foam cover was getting all squished inside the DeadCat when I was sliding it onto the mic--preventing me from getting it on all the way.I took the foam cover out from inside the DeadCat, and put it on the mic.Then I put the DeadCat on over the foam cover.It took some fiddling--but I eventually got it on.I took it to my kid's football practice, and shot some video with my Canon 80D. There was a 10-15mph breeze that day. In my video clips, I can hear some muffled wind noise, but overall, it's 90% better than shooting without the DeadCat.I recommend getting this if you've got the Rode VideoMic Go, and plan to shoot outdoors. It isn't expensive, it fits very snugly, and it gets rid of 90% of the wind noise.

Does the job

Great quality and it does exactly what it is supposed to do. I recorded my son's band playing outside with my Canon 80D with a RODE shotgun mic. I used the "Dead Cat" to quiet the wind. The cover not only quieted the wind but allowed the sound to be captured. It did its job and I'm glad I made the purchase. Note: Don't be in a huge hurry to get the cover. I think it took just over 2 weeks.

The way of using it should have been bit easy. Should have the slot to insert the shot gun mic vertically. Because of side access it gets torn quickly.

Pour l'aspect général, j'aurais préféré une couleur plus sombre plutôt que du gris... ça donne un aspect un peu sale... Mais je chipote. Je craignais que ça sente un peu mauvais, comme certaines appréciations sur des produits d'autres marques, pas du tout, ça ne sent rien, aucune odeur. Les poils tiennent bien. Pour l'installer, il faut enlever l'étui en mousse d'origine sur le micro. Il s'adapte facilement sur le micro.Pour ce qui est de l'objectif de diminution du vent, difficile à comparer et à évaluer, il semblerait bien que ça fonctionne, mais je ne peux pas dire dans quelle proportion, je dois le tester davantage.Le produit est globalement de très bonne qualité, je recommande.

The Røde go mic is very great for indoor use, however, the Røde mic is very unsuited for recording outside due to the slighest bit of wind. But the Røde Go Deadcat wind muff fixes this issue greatly. The item is of high quality and build and basically says what it does on the box. My only niggle is I think this muff should be able to be bought in a bundle with the mic itself, but this is not really a problem. If the price may put you off, the product is defiantly worth the money as you are limiting the capabilitys of your mic without it.

Arrivato in tempo, calza a pennello sul VideoMicGo, riduce il rumore del vento ma non aspettatevi miracoli, è sicuramente un prodotto valido ma va abbinato ad altre accortezze come il posizionamento della camera rispetto al vento, la modifica delle impostazioni della vostra camera e la post produzione. Se sperate di piazzare la telecamera a favore di vento (con raffiche forti) o fuori da un finestrino in un'auto in corsa e non sentire nulla, siete fuori strada!Per riprese esterne in giornate con poco vento è perfetto!Lo consiglio, è un accessorio da avere se si possiede un microfono esterno.

Sehr angenehm zu montieren, orginalen Schaumstoff runter und neuen überzug aufstecken. Fertig ist es.

Fits the RODE Go Mic perfectly! Amazing to use, reduces wind and other noise as indicated effectively. Although the hair does come off frequently but small price to pay for a product that works this well!
