DeadCat VMP+ Wind Cover
The DeadCat VMP+ is a deluxe furry wind cover for the VideoMic Pro+, designed for use in windy environments. Designed to reduce wind noise when recording outdoors, the DeadCat VMP+ combines an open-cell foam surround with an outer layer of acoustically transparent artificial fur. A rubber base prevents any wind noise from entering the rear of the microphone pickup area, whilst ensuring a secure fit specifically suited to the VMP+ Microphone.
The DeadCat VMP+ is only compatible with the VideoMic Pro+ (sold separately).
Our Review
RØDE DeadCat VMP+ — Consistent Audio When You Film Outside the Office
The gist: A precision windshield that keeps outdoor wind noise out of VideoMic Pro+ recordings — protecting audio quality when filming location content, event coverage, or client testimonials away from a controlled studio.
- Acoustically transparent design: Artificial fur over open-cell foam blocks wind turbulence while leaving the mic’s clarity and frequency response unchanged — no post-EQ needed to compensate.
- Rubber rear-entry seal: A form-fit rubber base closes the rear pickup area against wind — the failure point that cheaper universal windshields miss.
- Secure snap fit: Engineered specifically for the VideoMic Pro+ housing — stays in place during handheld b-roll walks or extended outdoor interviews without readjusting.
- Minimal kit impact: At ~$20, it prevents expensive audio reshoots caused by wind-contaminated takes on a single outdoor filming day.
B&H Photo customer reviews confirm the DeadCat VMP+ delivers professional audio quality outdoors, blocking wind interference while maintaining the mic’s voice-clarity characteristics.
Best for: Video content creators and freelancers who use the RØDE VideoMic Pro+ and film regularly in outdoor or semi-outdoor locations. Skip it if: You own the original VideoMic Pro (not Pro+) — the fit is not interchangeable. Runs ~$20 — check the current price before buying.
