WS-R30 Professional Furry Windscreen with Acoustic Foam Technology for Zoom H4n, H5, H6, Tascam DR-40, DR-100 MKII & Sony PCM-D50 Portable Digital Recorders

I was amazed at how the microphones on my Tascam DR-40X could discern the smallest amount of wind noise and then amplify it seemingly way beyond the sounds that I was trying to capture. Pop one of these wind shields over the end and all was solved - immediately. It's a good fit, although it's very close to the headphone socket on the Tascam and it's better if you use a right-angle connector into the socket as that lets the wind shield slide down a bit further. Thus far, I've been impressed, and for a resonable price this has just got the job done and lets me get on with the more difficult job of capturing those ambient sounds. Handling noise still needs to be dealt with, but that's easily done with a decent tripod and the Manfrotto one even double as a handle. With the recorder mounted on one of those, and with the wind shield on, I can scare passing motorists when they think I'm pointing a speed camera at them, rather than collecting samples for Autobahn 2020. Oh yes, and the box is definitely worth keeping as it says that it's a "Dead Kitten".

First off, this comes in a box that is marked "Dead kitten". I've taken immense pleasure in showing everyone the box and take comfort in the fact that if I ever have a small dead feline, the box can serve a dual purpose. Secondly, more importantly to its performance - this is a good windshield. I recently set up a Zoom H4n recording in a small divot on a beach to record a wedding ceremony and it did a brilliant job. It fits on the H4n like a glove and is also nice and cuddly. If you have a Zoom H4n, this is a no-brainer.

I'm using it with my Zoom H4N. After three recordings I have to say it works brilliantly for indoor use. I've done a test shot outside in moderate wind with good results as well, but can't comment on that just yet. However, it reduced any breathing sounds I was experiencing with my narrations before and so it works perfectly for me. The quality appears to be very good, it's well made and very fluffy!

Excellent materials and construction. Very good wind protection too. Only criticism is that because the Zoom H5 and H6 now use interchangeable microphone modules which have the gain control mounted on the module, the Movo windshield partially covers this gain control if fitted snugly. This wouldn't have been a problem with the Zoom H4n. Maybe a re-design to accommodate Zoom's newer recorders is now required to turn this good product into an excellent product - hence the 4stars rather than 5. But I would still recommend this even for the H5/H6 as it's far superior to the windshield supplied by Zoom with the H5 and H6.

Have used it once, recording with Zoom H5 in about 15 - 20 mph wind, on the ground, recorded perfectly clear, no wind noise at all. Fits easily over the included mics. A lot cheaper than the own brand ones.

Fits my Zoom H4n Pro perfectly and does an excellent job of blocking out wind noise (e.g. I like to record by the sea). Combine this with low-pass filters on the Zoom. And it's nice and furry like a very much alive kitten ;-)

Movo WS-R30 windscreen is well made, well thought out and reasonable value. It is a more-or-less standardised size, useable on many handheld recorders. I use this on an original Zoom H2 (I'm a bit of a fan) and a Zoom H5 and it works very well. Like most effective windscreens the Movo creates space around the top mic capsules with two stage protection: an inner mesh of plastic nylon and an outer cover of 'fur'. My only possible concern is that when fitted on an H5 (or similar recorders) the wind-gag covers the top X-Y mic rotary level control (potentiometer). As I usually set mic levels before recording - according to situation - for me this is not a major concern. Nevertheless, its design does mean that for this type of recorder, the user has to push the front of the wind-gag up a little to set recording levels, and then replace, before beginning to record. For compulsive volume twiddlers this might be a problem. Would recommend.

Secondo me funziona alla grande all'aperto. Con un po' di vento la registrazione è venuta pulitissima. Ancora non lo provo con vento forte, ma sicuramente finora vale i soldi spesi! Lo uso con lo zoom h4n e non ha i problemi che ho letto nell'altra recensione, perchè lo zoom ha i mic rivolti verso l'interno (altrimenti sì, lo spazio sarebbe piccolo: ma penso che questo varrebbe per tutti gli antivento).

Sieht fluffig aus- fühlt sich so an und ist auch echt gut verarbeitet. Bisher hatte ich keinen "Haarverlust" an der Deadcat. Funktioniert soweit super und tut was es soll. Klare kaufempfehlung :)

Article de bonne facture, s'adaptant parfaitement au zoom H5 et efficace. Testé dans plusieurs environnements, il s'est avéré très utile dans la prise de son dans un canyon durant un jour assez venteux.

El producto es lo que pone y sirve para lo que sirve. Se nota enormemente la diferencia cuando se usa que cuando no, es sencillo de utilizar, se entregó el día que señalaron y, francamente, no veo de momento nada malo, aunque bien es cierto que tendría que usarlo un tiempo para opinar ya que una cosa es la primera impresión y otra la efectividad a medio y largo plazo. En general, lo recomiendo.

..it replaces the foam windscreen that I lost and is under $20, whereas the foam replacement is $12 - for a piece of foam? I LIKE it because it looks professional, cuts out the 'Ps' and 'Bs' and moderate wind noise, and attaches easily enough. Unlike other mics I own, where the furry windscreen covers the already attached foam windscreen, this one does not. However, the fit is questionable as to whether it will, at some point (itself) make noise if shook. Just a thin piece of the foam/rubber slips over the mic heads to hold it on; whereas, the foam holds firm against the mics themselves with no wiggle room. We'll see how this works out in time. The rubber does collect hairs and dust, etc. So that's something to consider. It is large on the H4N, like the foam (but larger) so some may prefer something slightly smaller (if it exists) But I'm happy with this purchase and look forward to testing it some more in stronger wind conditions.
