Windscreen for ME66

Hello!

This is my first post here. I've just bought a used DVX100AE, and a Sennheiser ME66 came with it.

I was looking around on www.bhphotovideo.com for a windscreen. All I have now is the foamscreen, similar to the one that comes with Rode VideoMic. Which windscreen should I buy to put on top of this to eliminate wind? I've tried the foamscreen, but it was useless in wind.
I don't have the biggest budget.

Thanks!
 
Thanks!

But another question: I tried to put the Videomic foamscreen with the deadcat on the DVX, and the deadcat came into the picture. Does this happen with other windscreens to? Do I have to use a shockmount so the windscreens doesn't get in the way?
 
This will happen with most windscreens when camera mounted - two solutions.

- there are risers that extend the hot shoe mount up and back 6 inches or so placing the mic/fur out of the shot

-(best solution) put the mic on a boom close to the source of the sound. will improve your audio tremendously and of course it will be out of the shot.
