So, As like many of us, I hate wind noise with a passion.

So I set out on a Journey to buy a "Dead Cat" for my Rode Videomic, When I saw that its 30buck plus shipping for one, I automatically said to myself "F*ck that, I'll just make some of my own." And I did.

Compared to the ones that rode and other companies sell, mine are:
Cheaper (10 bucks or more cheaper)
Fuzzier (Cuts out more wind noise)
Made In Canada! (Not some Asian country)

They Are 17$ Bucks shipped to North America, and 20$ Shipped Overseas.
They also come with a lifetime warranty, so if it ever tears or something with it goes wrong, just mail it in, and I'll send you a new one.

Here is a picture:

looks awesome man and i would love to buy one if i had a rode but it would be nice to get some test samples/ comparison to real ones so were not paying for $17 for a duster.

No wind noise at all, just a bit of hum from the horrible AGC on my 7D.

I know you said theyre for Rode Video Mics but do you think this would fit on an Azden SMX-10?

Looks like it would fit, the azden looks a bit smaller than the rode so there shouldn't be an issue with it fitting in.

Inb4 that's what she said joke.

For those of you who want better audio quality and less wind-noise that do not have a mic, I'm working on a deadcat/wind muff for DSLR on-board mics. So far its working pretty good and isn't bulky or awkward.

It will fit over the mic, but it may need to be cut shorter, but that shouldn't be an issue at all, it can be done with a pair of scissors.

Some of you guys will be getting grey coloured ones because the fabric store ran out of white fur. But, It'll be a suprize as to who gets them because I lost track of what colours got sent to who. haha

Going to have to cut it a fair bit shorter to fit on my videomic pro. Hope it doesn't fray or anything if I do.

I'm all out, and both the types of fabric are sold out at the local stores... so I ordered some more but it should be a few weeks till I get it in.

I do still have the Micro-muff style ones still though!
