Outdoor wind protection for VideoMic Pro

The DeadCat VMPR is an artificial-fur wind shield made specifically for the Rode VideoMic Pro microphone. It targets filmmakers, vloggers and audio professionals who record dialogue or ambient sound in open-air or breezy locations. The cover slides over the microphone’s existing Rycote Lyre shockmount to suppress wind gusts without muffling the wanted signal. Buyers who need a wind solution for a different microphone model or a larger shotgun will not be served by this accessory.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive fur cover the DeadCat VMPR adds no electronic noise, draws no power and generates no heat. Its dense artificial fibres absorb turbulent air before it reaches the capsule, lowering wind-induced rumble while preserving the microphone’s natural frequency response. The same material also attenuates steady indoor drafts from air-conditioning or heating systems during studio sessions. No batteries, cables or firmware are involved so there is nothing to configure or recharge.

Build quality and daily mounting

The shield weighs 0.07 and uses a stretch-fit opening that grips the VideoMic Pro’s Lyre mount securely during handheld or boom-pole work. Artificial fur resists matting and can be brushed clean after dusty shoots, while the synthetic backing resists moisture better than natural fur in light rain. Because the cover is tailored to one microphone model it cannot be swapped onto other Rode mics or third-party shotguns without a loose fit that lets wind leak through.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DeadCat VMPR on my VideoMic Pro, and what step do people often miss?

Slide the wind shield over the microphone capsule until it seats firmly against the Rycote Lyre shockmount; the step many miss is pushing it past the Lyre’s inner lip so the fur does not catch on the suspension rings.

What maintenance or replacement will the artificial fur need over time?

The fur collects dust and moisture; brush it gently with a soft toothbrush after each outdoor session and replace the shield once the pile mats down or tears, typically after heavy seasonal use.

What limit appears first when recording in sustained high wind with this shield?

At extreme gusts the artificial fur can flutter against the capsule, introducing low-frequency rumble that the Lyre mount cannot fully isolate.
