Q: 3. anyone have a preferred softie windjammer for this mic that doesn't add too much bulk to it? lots of the ones listed for accessories here are for regular length shotguns. thanks

A: Given its extremely small size, presently there is no softie windjammer available. The best way to shield the Schoeps MiniCMIT against wind noise is by using a windshield kit; BH# RY086072.

Q: 4. Since the MiniCMIT lacks built-in filters, can anyone comment about this mic paired with the low cut filter in the Rycote Nano Windshield system?

A: The Schoeps MiniCMIT Short Shotgun Microphone is compatible for use with the Rycote Nano Shield Windshield Kit NS2-CA for Microphones up to 6.1" Long (B&H # RYWKNS2CA264). The low-cut filter on the Nano Windshield should work effectively since it will function in line with the microphone.

Q: 5. Will this fit to audio Technica 4053b ?

A: Although specified for another microphone, the Rycote Windshield Kit for Schoeps MiniCMIT should also accommodate the Audio-Technica AT4053b Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone, as its physical dimensions are almost identical to the Schoeps MiniCMIT this product is designed for.

Q: 6. Will this fit the Rode NTG5 ?

A: The W 140 foam windscreen is designed for use with the Schoeps CMIT5U and MiniCMIT microphones which both have a 21mm diameter while the NTG5 has a 19mm diameter, so the windscreen may be too loose. The W 140 is 5" long and the diameter for compatible microphones is listed as 41 to 50mm (Schoeps has confirmed that this information for the diameter measurement is correct, though it does seem unusual). We have not tested the W 140 on the NTG5. Since the chroma green W 140 is a special order item that is not returnable, you may want to hold off and test out one of the black or blue W 140 windscreens first, which are eligible for return. You may also want to try contacting Rode to ask if they have a chroma green foam windscreen available that will fit. You can reach Rode by phone at 562-364-7400. Their US offices are based in California.

Q: 9. Does this work with Sennheiser MKH 8060?

A: The Rycote Windshield Kit for Schoeps MiniCMIT is designed for use with the Schoeps MiniCMIT Short Shotgun Microphone, which has a slightly different physical form factor than the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Shotgun Microphone. A more preferable windshield product for the MKH 8060 is the Rycote Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL for the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Microphone (BH #RYMWS1MZLKIT): https://bhpho.to/3NPFL44
