Detail 01
Synthetic fur, not foam
Fur breaks up moving air far better than a foam sleeve, which is why it works outdoors where foam fails.

RODEDead Cat VMP Windscreen
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Furry windshield for the RODE VideoMic Pro. For outdoor shooting where wind noise ruins otherwise good audio.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Outdoor interviews and run-and-gun video in breezy conditions
- Handheld shooting where moving air hits the mic
- Documentary or event work outside a controlled room
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Indoor studio recording, where it only dulls the top end slightly
- Owners of other mic models — this is shaped for the VideoMic Pro
- Anyone needing gusting-wind protection at the level of a full blimp
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Slips over the mic body
No tools, no adapter. It stretches over the mic and stays put on its own.
Detail 03
Model-specific fit
Sized for the VideoMic Pro. On a different-diameter mic it will be loose or won't go on.
Detail 04
Gray colorway
Less visually distracting on camera than black fur under bright light, though it still reads as fur in frame.
Detail 05
Passive wind protection
Works on the air hitting the capsule. It does nothing for handling noise or traffic and crowd sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Microphone not included — this is the windshield only
- 02Confirm you have the VideoMic Pro, not another RODE mic
- 03Expect a small loss of high frequencies; that trade beats wind rumble outdoors
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I still need the foam windscreen?
No. Use one or the other. The fur goes on for outdoor work; the foam is fine for indoor and light air movement.
02Will it fit my other RODE mic?
It's cut for the VideoMic Pro. Other models differ in diameter and length, so fit is not guaranteed.
03Does it muffle the sound?
It takes a little off the top end. Outdoors that's a much smaller problem than the low-frequency rumble wind creates.
04Can I wash it?
Treat it gently — brush out dust and debris rather than machine washing, which mats the fur and hurts its performance.
