Thank you so very much... My search was specifically "best deadcat for rode videomic pro plus" because I am considering the VMP+ for vlogging purposes (and, in getting the exact info I was looking for, I've also discovered your channel, so I've just subscribed)
What a great find Adam! Shame RODE do not stock their own?! Very strange indeed. Thanks so much for nice words regarding my channel mate!!! Really appreciate it! :)
Hi Adam! What's the length of this deadcat? I'm out of country with limited options but there's a store offering me a Rycote in either 10 or 13 cm. Do you think either of those would work?
awesome. I'm using the link you used. thank you so much. seriously... for that I am subscribing. thank you and keep it up! I'm going to start my channel soon =)
Awesome! Thank you so much. I had to cut up a dead cat I had just to fit on my Pro+ and still got some wind noise through the back. After a few google searches I'm surprised how not easy it is to find a deadcat the fits the Pro+. You'd think Rode would make one. Anways thanks for answering my question. Just ordered one!
I know - I'm as baffled as you are. However, Rycote and Rode are closely affiliated - the very shock stand that the Rode Videomic's are using, are the Rycote Lyre stands - so there's definitely a cross-over there. The problem is, it's being advertised under the "Rycote" name, so it's not intuitive to find! They really need to clarify that.
I'm in same situation now. Also has pro, traded for Plus, can't be any more happy. Plus sounds same as many say, but it's the added features that make it for me.
If this work? you have just save my vacation videos. I purchase a death cat that didn't fit on my new Rode Mic+. I immediately started searching on youtube for this problem. Your video pop up... and OMG... Same problems... I ematatly order the death cat you mention in your video. I only hope to get it before our trip to Aruba... You just gat a two thumb ups and Belts and wissels... Thanks
I am STILL looking for the RODE Deadcat for the PLUS, Rode has told me it's shipping but I don't see it anywhere. I don't trust Rycote's to actually dampen the wind sound, based on my experience with them in the past.
Oliver J Hughes Hey Oliver I got mine at a local store in Melbourne, Rode started shipping them I think a few weeks ago so you should be able to have one soon. Cheers.
Rode did release a dedicated one, but I've done multiple videos in VERY windy conditions with perfect performance, so the Rycote is absolutely worth the expense - it really comes down to price in the end which one you chose.
good to know, I was going true the same because I bought the mic but I was not sure that the amazon deadcat was going to fit. so now I know XD Could you make a video about the best settings in the mic to vlog ? i own a canon 80D so it would be great to know what works best.
would you still recommend the Pro plus at $299 vs $173 (bestbuy onsale) right now ? i am debating about going the Pro since it is 173, but with deadcat it will be 213 total before tax...
The sound is pretty much identical - you have to make damn sure you turn it on and off I love never having to worry about turning it or off - that to me is worth the cost right there But it’s a considerable difference in price so I’ll leave it to you to decide on that one For me, I’d definitely get the PLUS
Adam Duff LUCIDPIXUL ty for the response . Still debating hard lol! Because the gap on price. :( Want to get for my 80D to do some vlogging as well. I can definitely understand how frustrating "off mic" user error can be to footages you can never get again.
Well this video was shot on the 80D as reference. (although I feel I underexposed the video a bit). If you're looking to save a few bucks (that you could invest towards the mic), look into picking up a second-hand 70D - the difference is quite negligible unless you're really pixel-peeping - they both shoot 1080p, they both have duel-pixel focus
Adam Duff LUCIDPIXUL I already own the 80D for more than a year now. Been thinking all morning, I think I may just take your advice on the pro plus. So I don't have to deal with rechargeable 9volt batteries and charger ( which I have to buy if go Pro. ). The ability to use USB to charge and included rechargeable battery seems nice . So I guess better just pay up and get the best,instead go cheaper ver and contemplating on upgrading later on . Thank you for the responses.
My comment is kind of irrelevant but I feel I should get it out of my chest. I have watched all of your videos. You are an artist & a Life coach at the same time. Also, you are the only Pro Artist using real office chairs....I have notice the steelcase gesture & now...a vertagear triigger maybe...Instead of looking at the rode I was looking at the headrest...I am not a subscriber, I prefer to become one of your students instead.
Alexandros Makris Sketchtherapy well well! You have quite a sharp eye for detail! Yes indeed it was the Gesture, but I recently sold it because I felt it was designed for a body slightly shorter than mine - the lumbar wasn’t adjustable on mine and it was a constant annoyance I also felt the seat didn’t have enough cushioning which puts pressure in the sacrum after a while The seat I’m on now is a temporary crappy chair, looking towards the leap or the Aeron now - or another quality ergonomic chair And apart from that - thank you so much for the kind words, you are more than welcome to join LUCIDPIXUL when you’re ready :)
Heyyy so I actually just posted a video of me getting the deadcat that’s dedicated to the actual rode Pro PLUS!! Go check it out! Cuz I know you’ve been looking for something that actually fits !
I was only able to find one retailer that claimed the rycote mini windjammer is dedicated to the pro+, so I checked Rode's site and sure enough, there is only one that's actually designed for the pro+ en.rode.com/accessories/deadcatvmpplus
well it took them bloody long enough. Regardless, the one I've been using is perfect, fits perfectly, performs perfectly. So it really comes down to price in the end. And thank you very much for sharing this tip with me Riccardo
Thank you so much dude, I was very confused why it was so difficult to find a deadcat for it, glad I wasn't alone.
Adam, thanks so much for this video! I've been looking all over for the dedicated deadcat just like you were, so I'm thankful you put up this video!
My pleasure Heather :)
Dude, thank you so much! Was literally having this exact issue and couldn't find it.
Thank you for the video! Was looking everywhere for this dead cat.

Awesome Vlog bro! I've also got the Rode videomic pro plus and have been looking for a suitable deadcat, which I've now found thanks to you :)
You are most welcome Sandman :)
Thank you! Couldn't find this info anywhere else!
Thanks for the tip of the deadcat for the vmp plus. Rode is in the making of a deadcat for vmp plus they said when I emailed them some time ago...
Thank You. Very Helpful.
I bought the Pro+ and I will never go back
Thank Adam, I am sold! I only vlog, but VideoMic Go really messes with me. I can't handle having bad audio..
I'm in same situation now. Also has pro, traded for Plus, can't be any more happy. Plus sounds same as many say, but it's the added features that make it for me.
THANK YOU! I just bought the microphone and I'm getting mad looking for this deadcat! C'mon Rode, put it on AMAZON!!!
Thank you bro so much!!!!
Thank you! Saved me!

Top man....top vlog.... I’m getting mine....👍

Hey
What camera did you use for this shot? And what lense? Thanks for your help in advance?
I believe that's my Canon 80D with the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 Art
Thanks a lot.
Where’s your link, I’m about to buy the mic.
I am STILL looking for the RODE Deadcat for the PLUS, Rode has told me it's shipping but I don't see it anywhere. I don't trust Rycote's to actually dampen the wind sound, based on my experience with them in the past.
