Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this work on the Zoom H6?

A: Yes.

Q: 2. Will this fit the Videomic Pro+ ?

A: No, this Rycote Mini Windjammer is intended for use with a different mic. For the VideoMic Pro+, you can use the Rycote Mini Windjammer for Rode VMP+ (B&H # RY055470) or Rode DeadCat VMPR+ Artificial Fur Windshield for VideoMic Pro Plus Microphone (B&H # RODEADCATVPP).

Q: 3. Will this also fit the Sennheiser MD42/46 mics?

A: For the MD42 & MD46 we'd recommend a foam + Windjammer combination. 35/50 Reporter Mic Foam, 104404 & 35/50 Mini Windjammer, 055377

Q: 4. Would this work on the Sennheiser ME2?

A: Hi Timm,I believe it will work, although our official recommendation based on testing is the following:a href= http://mymic.rycote.com/products/lavalier-solutions/lavalier-windjammer/black-lavalier-windjammer/ target= _blank http://mymic.rycote.com/products/lavalier-solutions/lavalier-windjammer/black-lavalier-windjammer//aThere is a slight difference in capsule diameter and length, but the 4080 Mini WJ should cover everything as intended. Please note that you probably won't be able to use the supplied clip with the ME 2 if you use this solution.

Q: 5. If you mount this item like pictured, what is the point of the velcro? It has no way of latching. It seems like it is supposed to cinch around the mic part itself, but then there's way to much room in the front. Also, am I supposed to leave the foam on?

A: The wind protection works best with the foam in place. When I tighten the velcro around the barrel and then pulls it back into the notch between the barrel and the body, I get a very nice and snug fit.

Q: 6. Will it fit a Rode Reporter mic?

A: The correct windjammer for the Rode reporter would be B&H# RYWJ3550FW. You may also consider the Rycote FWS-35/50 foam screen for an extra layer of protection.

Q: 7. Is this compatible with the Tascam Portacapture X8?

A: Although similar in form factor, the Zoom H5 Zoom H5 4-Input / 4-Track Portable Handy Recorder with Interchangeable X/Y Mic Capsule is roughly 0.5" smaller in width than the Tascam Portacapture X8 6-Input / 8-Track Handheld Adaptive Multitrack Recorder. As the Rycote Mini Windjammer for Zoom H5 Digital Recorder is made specifically for the size of the Zoom H5, it may have trouble fitting onto the Tascam X8 in a similar manner.

Q: 8. Does this completely replace the stock foam windscreen or do you use them both together?

A: This replaces the stock one completely. It fits very snugly over the microphones.

Q: 9. Would this work over the Sennheiser MZW 64-PRO Foam Windscreen? If not, is there another slip over Windjammer that would?

A: The Rycote Special 90 Mini Windjammer (BH # RYMWS90) is too small to fit the Sennheiser MZW 64-PRO Foam Windscreen (Black), BH # SEMZW64P. The WindTech Mic-Muff Microphone Windshield MM-8 (BH # WIMM8) is recommended.

Q: 10. Would this be a good accessory for the Zoom H6?

A: Yes. I use this with my Zoom H5, and the hand grip and suspension dramatically cut down on the handling noise. The fur also makes a huge difference on distortion from wind or any small breeze.
