Rode WS9-BLUE: The Color-Coordinated Wind Defense Built for the VideoMic Me-C+
The Rode WS9 in Blue is a deluxe furry windshield engineered specifically for the VideoMic Me-C+ and the rest of the VideoMic Me family — the difference between recordable outdoor audio and a take ruined by wind. The Blue color option exists for a reason: creators who color-coordinate their rig to a brand palette, run multi-camera shoots and need to identify which mic at a glance, or want a windshield that pops against dark scenery now have a windshield that fits the same purpose-built shell as the standard black WS9 in a color that actually shows up on camera.
Why a Furry Windshield Replaces the Foam Windscreen Outdoors
A bare microphone capsule or a thin foam windscreen has no chance against real outdoor wind — even a light breeze produces low-frequency rumble that ruins dialogue and forces editors to scrap takes. The WS9 uses long-pile synthetic faux fur over an open-cell foam inner liner. The fur breaks up moving air before it ever reaches the capsule; the inner foam absorbs what gets through. The result is dramatically reduced wind buffeting on the recorded track — vlogs shot outside, mobile journalism in city traffic, run-and-gun travel video, and event coverage in unpredictable weather all stay usable on the first take.
Slide-Over Friction Fit — Seconds From Pocket to Filming
The WS9 slides over the VideoMic Me-C+ body in a friction fit and stays put. There are no clips to break, no adhesives to leave residue, no tools required. It comes off just as easily for indoor recording or storage. Lightweight construction adds negligible weight to a mobile rig — the Me-C+ is only 0.95 oz, and the windshield keeps the phone-and-mic balance unchanged for handheld shooting.
The Blue Color Option — Why a Color Choice Matters On Camera
For most accessory categories, color is irrelevant. For a microphone windshield that sits in the camera frame at the top of the device, it isn't. The Blue WS9 is a true vibrant blue, not a muddy navy — it photographs cleanly against neutral backgrounds and shows up against dark scenery on evening shoots. Branded content creators match it to a logo color; multi-cam shooters use it to identify a specific mic at a glance in playback; outdoor reporters use it for visibility in low-light conditions. The acoustic performance is identical to the black WS9; the visual identity is the value-add.
Built for VideoMic Me-C+, VideoMic Me, and the VideoMic GO Family
The WS9-BLUE shares the same inner geometry as the standard WS9 and fits the entire VideoMic Me line — VideoMic Me, VideoMic Me-L, VideoMic Me-C, and VideoMic Me-C+ — plus the original VideoMic GO. If the on-camera or on-phone rig uses any of those mics, this windshield slips on, stays on, and does its job. Pack one as a spare in the kit bag or use it as the primary windshield when the visual color matters as much as the wind protection.
