R-09 Fur Windscreens - Windtech or other?

[e.maynard]

Hey folks.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a fur type windscreen for my R-09.

This one:

Or this one:
http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/R-09-MM-22

Same price. Hmmmmmm.

Yes use a Rode Dead Kitten (designed for the NT4 and Stereo Video Mic)

Tested vs several others here - http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,108533.0.html

Thanks for the tips.
I knew I was in the right joint.

Pulled the trigger on the dead kitten (so to speak)
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DeadKitten

$24.95 & free shipping.

At some point I'll be looking into a preamp for the R-09 to use with mics I already own.
SM-81's Oktava 012's, maybe  EV 635's.

What's a good place to start looking?

lol, the R-09 fur on this site looks a lot like Ernie's (from Sesame Street) hair!

I would use the Rycote

I had a job at Rode making those, but after a while my wrists couldn't take it anymore.
