I have a pretty decent setup with my camera (Sony Alpha a58) with a standard starter lens (18-55mm). Which can do for now since i currently have no money. A Fly cam nano and a Røde videomic. in the past couple months i have been recording a lot of skiing and getting some great shot but my mic picks up a bunch of wind. I have looked into buying a new windshield (currently just have the on that it comes with) like the "Rode Microphones WS6 Windscreen" which I have heard works pretty well for the price of $50-$60. Should I buy the windshield? Should I buy a new microphone? thoughts?

Adding to what I said earlier about how my mic picked up wind, Even when I am standing still it still picks up wind that is barley a breeze

The WS6 I don't think will even fit that mic or is at least not made for that mic. I use a Micover VMP cover for my VMP and that works great and I know they make one for the standard videomic. A few of my friends also use the MoVo deadcat for their videomic's and is pretty decent as well.

the deadcat is what you need for the videomic
