Which windscreen for NTG-2?

[jaredgiese]

Does anyone have a recommendation and links for which windscreen I should get for my Rode NTG-2? Note: I am already ordering the blimp soon but am wanting a decent windscreen as well.

Well I did search around and have a couple options, but am not sure if either of these will fit the NTG-2 as I am unsure the length of how far up the vents go on the microphone:

And if nothing else I could get the RODE Deadcat, but I assume that wouldnt be as good as the K-Tek or Micover

Thoughts?

Both manufacturer's web sites have a guide to which version to buy for the NTG-2.

I'm inclined to believe The-Blimp from Rode would work quite well in this application. Feel free to send me an email if you wish to discuss pricing. Otherwise, they've been hugely popular, and quite a good value for what they give you:

I am having trouble finding micover's guide for the NTG2 as far as the puffin series, could you link me to it?

As far as the blimp I will be purchasing that as well, but I wanted an additional wookie too

The blimp, of course, comes with its own fuzzy cover - are you wanting an EXTRA? (If so, contact Røde) The deadcat is barely worth anything, in my experience. I have one and it's overbuilt and it underperforms in anything but the slightest breeze. My NTG2 lives in my Røde Blimp, only occasionally replaced by the NT4 for the odd outdoor stereo need.

Rode makes a windscreen which fits perfectly.

I don't have another windscreen to compare, but it works pretty well for me.
