Q: 1. I lost the foam shield that came with the Rode VMGO Video Mic GO Lightweight On-Camera Microphone. What can I get as a replacement? Foam shield, dead cat, whatever fits.

A: Hi, yes this is a replacement for the original foam supplied with the VM GO, and a much better windshield option for recording outdoors. Hope that helps!

Q: 2. I've heard of some issues regarding wind when using this on the video mic go. I was wondering if anyone had practical experience with it in things such as wildlife photography or hiking. Specifically, I was wondering if the deadcat helps when it comes to the wind, and if it effects sounds such as birds chirping, or distant animal noises?

A: A deadcat for the Vieo Mic Go is absolutely necessary when outside in even slightly brezzy enviornments. It will help in reducing or stopping wind noise. It is designed to be "acoustically neutral" meaning it will not color or change the sound at all.

Q: 3. Is it the original rode deadcat ?

A: Yes it is made by Rode. This model is made for specific compatibility with the Rode Videomic Pro Plus.

Q: 4. Does this fit over the foam or is it used in place of the foam?

A: The Deadcat GO is designed to fit over the existing foam windshield.

Q: 5. Would this fit the Sony ECM XM1 microphone?

A: The WS11 windshield is specifically designed to fit the Rode VideoMic NTG which has a 21.6mm diameter and is 171mm long. The Sony ECM-XM1 has a 21mm diameter and is 162mm long. It is possible that the WS11 may fit the ECM-XM1, but we have not tested it with the Sony mic to be able to confirm that it will fit correctly. Rycote makes the Rode windshields and they list the Rycote Mini Windjammer Special 105 (B&H # RYMWS105) and the Rycote Standard Hole Softie Windscreen with 19-22mm (0.74-0.87") Hole Size (B&H # RYS10M) as the compatible models to use with the ECM-XM1. As another compatible option, you can use the Auray WSR-2012 Stuffed Rabbit Windscreen for Shotgun Microphones - 12 cm (B&H # AUWSR201).

Q: 6. This DeadCat for VideoMic Pro Plus? In the picture is not VideoMic Pro Plus. Can it fit VMPR+ ?

A: Yes it replaces the foam mic on the pro plus.

Q: 7. Does the deadcat windshield that comes with the Rode VideoMic Pro Plus fit properly?

A: Yes it does.

Q: 8. Does this fit over the regular foam windscreen included with the mic or is made with the foam integrated with the furry similar to the rode videomicro's? Thanks!

A: This has open-cell foam inside to go right over the VideoMic NTG specifically.

Q: 9. Will this fit on either versions of the Video Mic Pro? I have the first version, with less effective shockmount.

A: The Rode Dead Cat VMP is designed to fit the original (first) VideoMic Pro with rubber band based mount only.

Q: 10. Does this wind shield also provide some degree of pop filter like filter effect?

A: I'm sure it would function that way to some degree, but you typically wouldn't use a shotgun mic close enough for plosives to be an issue.
