{"product_id":"saramonic-vws","title":"Saramonic VWS","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSaramonic VWS - Wind protection for microphones up to 380 mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Saramonic VWS combines a furry windscreen with a suspension system for shotgun and pencil microphones up to 380 mm long. It’s made for sound recordists who need to take a microphone outdoors in strong wind, while also wanting isolation from movement and handling noise in quieter settings. The fit covers standard microphones with a diameter of 19–23 mm, including Saramonic’s TM1, TM7 and NV5 models. Outdoors, the VWS’s acoustic-transparent furry cover provides a protective outer layer for recording in difficult weather. Indoors, the suspension system is suited to boom work, a stand or handheld operation using the integrated grip. That range of working positions makes it useful for location sound as well as controlled indoor recording. Rather than being just a removable furry cover, the VWS brings wind protection and microphone suspension together as one system. The microphone itself isn’t included, so you can use a compatible mic you already own. For anyone choosing a windscreen system, the key checks are microphone size and how it will be held; the VWS gives clear size limits and supports several common ways of working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"features\"\u003eWhy it is useful\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension isolates the microphone:\u003c\/strong\u003e The shockmount is intended to reduce unwanted vibration and handling noise.

I’d look closely at the fit before choosing it: your mic needs to be 19–23 mm in diameter and no longer than 380 mm. That makes this a considered option for owners of a compatible shotgun or pencil mic, rather than a universal cradle. For outdoor dialogue, use the furry outer layer to add wind protection; for indoor boom work, the shockmount and internally routed coiled XLR keep the assembly together. I also like that the mount angle is adjustable, so you can set the mic’s position for the recording. Bear in mind that the microphone is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"extra\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle’s base has a 3\/8-inch thread for attaching the system to a boom pole, and a 1\/4\"-20 thread adapter is included for other mounting options. The VWS comes with a carrying bag. It’s supplied as a windshield and suspension system, not as a microphone kit, so plan to use a compatible microphone you already have or source one separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaramonic VWS Professional windshield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaramonic VWS Professional suspension system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Saramonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: VWS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Professional windshield and suspension system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone types: Shotgun and pencil microphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone compatibility: Standard microphones, including Saramonic TM1, TM7 and NV5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum microphone length: 380 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrophone diameter: 19–23 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWind protection: Removable, acoustically transparent furry outer layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable: Integrated short, coiled XLR cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting threads: 3\/8-inch base thread; 1\/4\"-20 adapter included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Saramonic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453515669844,"sku":"VWS","price":212.17,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/VWS_01.jpg?v=1791321424","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/products\/saramonic-vws","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
