The Auray WSW-Series Custom Windbusters provide dual-layered wind protection, substantially reducing unwanted broadband wind noise and vocal pops with minimal high frequency loss. The Windbuster has been custom-made for the VideoMic Pro with the Rycote Lyre Shockmount and the VideoMic Pro Plus and is designed to be used over its existing foam windscreen. The simulated fur outer layer works in tandem with the acoustic-cloth inner lining to protect the microphone element from air bursts without muffling the sound. The velvet back cover with locking drawstring offers protection to the microphone, as well as easy access to the controls.

When used on the VideoMic Pro, the Windbuster is effective in minimizing wind noise and plosive sounds. It is most effective in light-to-moderate breeze conditions (4 to 17 mph), and users can generally expect a 30 to 40 dB reduction in wind noise with modest dampening of high frequencies. For most applications, the modest high-frequency dampening is a worthwhile exchange for the substantial wind-noise reduction. In addition to dual-layered wind protection, the Windbuster helps prevent moisture and dirt from damaging your microphone.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. This doesn't work with my d5200 Nikon camera but it seems to have the correct input thingy, I don't know what is wrong?

A: The Rode VideoMic is compatible with the D5200. It is difficult to determine what your issue may be. You may check the battery is fresh and inserted correctly into the mic, and powered on. You can also check that the cable is fully inserted into the camera, and audio settings are correct in your camera.

Q: 2. Does this work on a Nikon D800?

A: As long as your D800 has a mic input, it'll work. Great mic. I have three of them.

Q: 3. In addition to my last question, my mic and boompole (which come from the same kit) do not mount properly either. I was wondering what I am doing wrong?

A: On the boom pole at the top there should be a male threaded piece. If you turn the Rode Video Mic upside down and look in the bottom of the shoe mount you will see a hole. That hole is 3/8 and it will screw onto the end of the male thread on the end of the boom pole which is also 3/8. I hope this helps.

Q: 4. Does it work on G1 Markiii?

A: No. Canon's G1 X Mark III does not have an input to connect an external microphone. However, you can use a separate audio recorder to capture audio using the Rode VideoMic and then sync the audio with the camera's video in post production.

Q: 5. I am starting to do interview type video and want to improve my sound. Will I be able to use this mic on my 5DIV's and also on a boom placed over the subject or would I be better off buying a lapel mic?

A: A boom mic, such as this model, is usually considered the best option for audio quality of your productions, especially if you do boom the mic in close to the subject. The Rode VideoMic & Micro Boompole Kit with Custom Windbuster, BH #ROVMRK4 would provide you with the cable extension required, as well as an outdoor windscreen at a reasonable bundle price.

Q: 6. Does this mic work with the Canon C100 MKII? I tried using the Videomic Go with the camera but that wont work.

A: If you are interested in using the 1/8 mic jack on the camera body, you will need a battery powered mic. The Rode VideoMic is powered by a single 9V battery and is compatible with the Canon C100 mkII.

Q: 7. Will this work on the new RODE VideoMic Pro+?

A: Yes. The Auray WSW-VMP-R Windbuster will work with the new Rode VideoMic Pro plus.

Q: 8. Does this microphone work well with a Tascsm DR-22WL audio recorder?

Q: 9. How can you tell the battery is about to die?

A: The LED indicator that is green will turn Red

Q: 10. Will this mount to and work with my Sony FDR-AX100?

A: Yes, the Rode VideoMic is compatible for use with the Sony FDR-AX100. You may want to use a bracket such as the Vello Dual-Shoe Bracket with Grip (B&H #VECB550) to attach the mic to the camera. The Vello bracket uses the camera's tripod mount socket and also allows you to mount the camera on a tripod or other stand with the mic attached.
