An Official Accessory Designed for the VideoMic GO II
The WS12 is part of RØDE's range of accessories dedicated to filming and mobile recording. It complements the VideoMic GO II with a "ready-for-the-field" wind protection solution, designed to preserve voice intelligibility and clarity of ambient sounds during real-world recordings.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for videographers, journalists, content creators, and sound recordists who record outdoors, the WS12 helps secure recordings when the wind picks up. It is also suitable for indoor use to reduce plosives on vocals while remaining discreet and easy to install.
Wind Protection Without Compromising Capture
Acoustically Transparent Design
The combination of open-cell foam and synthetic fur is designed to reduce turbulence while maintaining a natural sound. The windshield remains acoustically transparent to minimize impact on clarity and high frequencies, a key point for clear voice capture and usable recordings in post-production.
Windproof Seal for Better Airtightness
The synthetic rubber seal blocks unused connectors (USB-C or 3.5 mm) on the microphone, preventing air from entering at the rear. A practical detail that improves consistency of results, especially during moving shoots.
