Make sure to add a top end boost as this muffles the higher frequencies slightly - a know pro tip when using dead cats. If you're looking for total wind isolation in windy conditions i would reccomend the Blimp, but this is great if you're on a budget. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Windshield *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 April 2014* Great windshield, fits the Rode NTG 2 perfect on my Canon XF305. Great noise reduction on a windy day. Go out and get one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Essential for outside audio *by T***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2012* Bought mine for my Rode NTG-1 that attaches directly to an expensive Canon XA10 camcorder and with an extra short XLR cable, video productions are now professional looking and sounding while shooting outdoors. This dead cat can help minimise that annoying hidden wind rumble that occurs when recording out in the open air and with a bit of gain control via the camera, wind blowing over the mic with this dead cat attached can be better controlled.It's a tight snug fit over the NTG-1 microphone, to a point where I'm probably going to leave it attached permanently to the mic and camcorder. Having this dead cat attached to a pro-camera seems to draw a great deal of attention when out filming, where many approach asking what I am filming /recording, more so than not having the dead cat attached.Mine got delivered from France to the UK and upon ordering the supplier immediately sent a message they were currently out of stock but expecting a new batch to arrive. I got mine in less than 10 days and pleased they let me know of stock levels and happy to wait as it's sort of crucial to have for outside recordings. Not much more to really say about this product apart from it's built to fit NTG-1 & NTG-2 and an essential attachment for out side recordings, just like the pro's have. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48450969-ws6-shotgun-microphone-windshield](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/48450969-ws6-shotgun-microphone-windshield) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
