RODE Microphone Deadmouse-Pin Windshield for PinMic

PinMic Windshield for Outdoor Recording

The Rode Deadmouse-Pin is a professional-grade windshield built specifically for the Rode PinMic lavalier microphone. It uses artificial fur to minimise wind noise while remaining acoustically transparent. The accessory is designed for high-wind conditions where exposed capsules would capture excessive turbulence. It targets field recordists, broadcasters and content creators who need clean dialogue outdoors.

Upgrade from Foam Windscreens

Standard foam windscreens supplied with lavalier microphones only handle light breezes. This fur-covered deadcat replaces that basic protection when wind noise overwhelms the foam layer. The jump is worth it whenever recording in open environments, near traffic or during fast movement where air currents hit the capsule directly. It adds negligible bulk while extending the usable weather window significantly.

Handles Strong Gusts, Not Hurricane Force

The windshield comfortably manages sustained wind and sudden gusts typical of location shoots, interviews and action scenes. It preserves high-frequency detail because the fur is acoustically transparent. Extreme wind events or direct blasts from vehicles will still overload the capsule despite the shield. Users needing maximum isolation for severe conditions should consider larger blimp systems instead.
