  Q: 4. It's compatible whit Deity S mic 2s?

  A: No. The Rycote 033202 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mic (5.9" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter) is too long for use with the Deity S-Mic 2S Short Shotgun Microphone. The S-Mic 2S is 5.83" (148mm) long and the inside depth of the windshield is 5.9" (150mm) long, so which is longer than the length of the microphone. The Rycote 033201 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mic (4.7" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter) [B&H # RYSS12M] would be a better option. The inside depth of this windshield is 4.7" (120mm).

  Q: 5. Can this also be used for the ME66/K6? I have both the 416 and the ME66.

  A: Yes, it can also be used for the ME66/K6. The 18cm Super-Softie (19/22) featured in this kit is our recommendation for both of those mics.

  Q: 6. Hi does anyone know if this would work with a Deity S-Mic 2?

  A: I am not seeing this is made for compatibility with S-Mic 2. The closest model I am seeing that is would be the Rycote 18cm Super-Softie Wind Shield for Shotgun Mics (Standard Hole). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1044553-REG/rycote_033203_18cm_super_softie_standard_hole.html

  Q: 8. Does it fits sennheiser mke600?

  A: Yes, the Rycote 033203 18cm Super Softie Wind Shield for Shotgun Mics will fit on the Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone, but it is 7" deep and the mic is 10" long, so it may cover too much of the microphone. A better match is the Rycote 033202 Super Softie Windshield for Shotgun Mics (B&H # RYSS15M). which is 5" deep and also lists compatibility with the MKE 600 in the product description.

  Q: 9. What's the difference between this and the Rycote Baseball? Does this offer better wind attenuation to warrant the price difference? Or is one intended more for indoor/outdoor use?

  A: The Rycote Baseball is built with faster, immediate movement in mind to avoid 'swooshing' or movement sounds, when the boom pole needs to make a sudden shift or movement, as well as plosive reduction. The Rycote Super-Softie is made with weather resistance in mind, with a high immunity to rain-soaking and an ideal solution for just about any electronic news gathering application.

  Q: 10. Can I use this with a Rode NTG5?
