Topic: AT U853 windscreen help

[PaulCayard]

I've recently buyed a pair of AT U853 and I've noticed that I can't use my AT853 windscreens (Shure RK183T1) over AT U853.
I think that official U853 windscreen (AT8153) is too long for my configuration, so I'm looking for another windscreen model...
Could you help me to find a windscreen that could be use over AT U853 but not as long as official AT8153?

Thanks a lot in advance for any suggestion :-)

In my opinion, the AT8153 works perfectly for the old 853 caps, I thought the new caps are the same size?

Thanks a lot Humbug for the pics! Now I'm sure that AT8153s are too big for my (stealth) configuration.

I'm looking for something like Shure RK183T1 that fits perfectly over my AT853 but it doesn't fit over AT U853 (it is slight bigger than AT853).

When I'm running stealth, I don't use screens unless outside. And if I'm outside it's usually a huge venue where I'm less likely to be spotted :-)

Sorry can't make any more suggestions!

Not sure if measurements match but maybe?

I have not ordered from this seller but everything ive ordered from China always comes pretty quickly actually.

Thanks a lot Beatkilla for your help in this thread and for PM messages!
I'm going to order the Shure RK261BWS because they are very short and I think that they will be good for my purpose.
I'll write here when I try them
