I just bought a Rode NG-1 from eBay. It did not include the windscreen. I'll use it on a boom occassionally, but mainly it will life on camera for picking up ambient - in case I want to use it.
I imagine for windy, outdoor shoots I'll purchase and use the Dead Cat Wind Muff that Rode offers (similar to the Rycote Softie). I'll probably use this on the boom also.
Is there any reason to purchase a standard windscreen for on-camera use? Should I just use the Dead Cat for everything? I've not owned one of these high-wind windscreens before, so I'm looking for advice.
Thanks,
