RODE WS12 Deluxe Windshield for VideoMic GO II

The fur-topped shell slides right over my VideoMic GO II and snaps into place without any fiddling, which I appreciated on a windy afternoon shoot. Recorded a podcast outside by a busy road and the plosives and gusts were basically gone from the audio.

Swapped out the stock foam for this furry layer and the difference outdoors is night and day—wind noise basically vanished during a breezy park shoot. The synthetic fur fits snugly over the mic without any fiddly clips, and it doesn’t add much bulk to my bag.

Finally got around to testing this on a breezy day, and the open cell foam with the fur layer completely killed the wind rumble. It fits snugly on the mic without being a pain to slide on.
