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+ — Outdoor Wind Protection for the VideoMic Pro+
The gist: A precision-fit furry windshield that keeps wind rumble out of outdoor recordings — the purpose-built companion for VideoMic Pro+ users who film at coastlines, mountain viewpoints, and open markets.
- Acoustically transparent fur layer: Artificial fur sits over an open-cell foam core, blocking wind turbulence without muffling or coloring the mic’s frequency response.
- Rear-seal rubber base: A fitted rubber surround blocks wind from entering the rear pickup area — the most common source of low-frequency wind rumble that the windshield alone misses.
- Precision fit for the VMP+: Designed specifically to secure cleanly onto the VideoMic Pro+ shape — no slipping or repositioning mid-shoot.
- Lightweight outdoor addition: Adds negligible weight and bulk to a camera-mount mic kit for beach, rooftop, and garden filming sessions.
B&H Photo customers consistently note the DeadCat VMP+ makes the VideoMic Pro+ “very professional sounding” outdoors, with one reviewer confirming “it blocks unnecessary wind” while preserving the mic’s character.
Best for: Outdoor travel filmmakers and vloggers who use the RØDE VideoMic Pro+ in windy conditions. Skip it if: Your microphone is the original VideoMic Pro (not Plus) — the DeadCat VMP+ is not cross-compatible. Runs ~$20 — check the current price before buying.
