The AWRVM1 Airo Windscreen for Rode VideoMic from K-Tek is a slip-on furry cover and touch-tab fastener with artificial fur that fits snugly over the foam windscreen of the Rode VideoMic and NTG1, or Deity D3 and D3 Pro microphones. This muff reduces wind noise when recording in windy conditions. The simulated-fur outer layer works in tandem with the acoustic foam to protect the microphone element from air burst without muffling the sound.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. In addition to my last question, my mic and boompole (which come from the same kit) do not mount properly either. I was wondering what I am doing wrong?

A: On the boom pole at the top there should be a male threaded piece. If you turn the Rode Video Mic upside down and look in the bottom of the shoe mount you will see a hole. That hole is 3/8 and it will screw onto the end of the male thread on the end of the boom pole which is also 3/8. I hope this helps.

Q: 2. Is there a recommended travel case for this mic? I haven't been able to find any zipper like cases to keep it protected while in the camera bag.

A: You may be able to use a padded bag like the K-Tek KGBM1 Medium Gizmo Bag (B&H # KTKGBM1) or perhaps something like the Ruggard Lens Case 6 x 4.5" (B&H # RULCY16X4) or the larger models. As long as the mic will fit, it should provide the protection you need.

Q: 3. Will this work on Canon R6 Mk II? Can it be used off camera or it has to mounted on camera?

A: Yes, the Rode VideoMic Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone is compatible for use with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera. The microphone can be used on or off of the camera.

Q: 4. My question concerns any or no compatibility issues between the Rode VideoMic while using the Tascam DR-40 as a recording device. Has anyone experienced problems with both devices simply not working at all together or has experienced unacceptable audible frequency noise due to incompatibility issues?

A: When using the Rode VideoMic with the Tascam DR-40, connection requires an adapter allowing the mic to be input to the XLR jacks. Rode offers the VXLR which is a mini jack to XLR adapter. a href= http://bhpho.to/1AuVVW8 target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1AuVVW8/a The mic will still require the 9 volt battery for power. There should be no issues with compatibility between the 2 units.

Q: 5. Is this compatible with Canon Rebel T3i and with Canon 70D? Also, while connected, does it cancel the camera's audio or does it record 2 audio channels into the SD card? Is the sound then recorded together with the image or on two separate memories/folders?

A: Yes, it is compatible with the T3i and 70D. While connected, the camera's internal audio is cancelled. So be careful...if the mic is plugged in but it's power is turned off, the only audio you'll get is a low hiss. Upon recordings, the audio is automatically synced with the video into a single .MOV file.

Q: 6. Nikon d5300

A: Yes, the RODE VideoMic Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone Kit with Dead Cat Windshield is compatible with the Nikon D5300 DSLR Camera.

Q: 7. Will this mount to and work with my Sony FDR-AX100?

A: Yes, the Rode VideoMic is compatible for use with the Sony FDR-AX100. You may want to use a bracket such as the Vello Dual-Shoe Bracket with Grip (B&H #VECB550) to attach the mic to the camera. The Vello bracket uses the camera's tripod mount socket and also allows you to mount the camera on a tripod or other stand with the mic attached.

Q: 8. Will this mic pick up well from ceiling-hung speakers, or does it do better with speakers on ground level?

A: As long as the microphone is on axis with the speaker, it shouldn't matter.

Q: 9. Does this microphone do well with preventing, or lessening, light hum (e.g. overhead lights, such as fluorescent lights) when shooting indoors? My built-in mic on my D7100 will pick up a lot of hum. Is there a good on-mic setting for limiting hum?Also, does this microphone produce a hollow sound indoors (especially in hardwood rooms)? Again, my built-in mic is a culprit with this matter.

A: It is better in both regards but still not perfect. It really excels in very loud setting however

Q: 10. What is the country of origin for this product?

A: The Rode VideoMic with Rycote Lyre Suspension System is manufactured in China.
