Description
The Windkiller is a premium fur windshield for shotgun microphones, providing professional-grade wind protection for boom operators and field recordists. The multi-pile faux fur uses varying lengths to gradually slow down wind particles before they reach your mic—the same proven technology as our Windbubbles, scaled up for shotgun capsules.
Available in both long-fur and short-fur versions. Long fur provides maximum wind protection for heavy outdoor conditions, while short fur offers a lighter option for moderate winds with slightly better high-frequency transparency.
Multiple sizes fit the most popular shotgun microphones from Sennheiser, RØDE, Schoeps, Audio-Technica, and more. Check our size guide to find the right fit for your mic.

Trusted by the Best
Hear from the sound professionals who rely on BubbleBee gear.
No Time To Die (James Bond), Guardians of The Galaxy, Les Miserables (Oscar Winner)
“This kind of bespoke customer service alongside the fantastic products Bubblebee design is why I’m so impressed with the company. Thank you!”
Formula E (BBC, Eurosport, Mediaset), Goggle Box (Studio Lambert)
“Our presenters (Nicki Shields & Vernon Kay) were very happy with The Sidekicks and were able to wear them for long stretches of time because they were so comfortable.”
Dune Part Two, Planet Earth III, House of the Dragon
“I like to have the smallest footprint possible because that attracts the least attention, which is important when you are recording wildlife, the best way to achieve this is with a lavalier microphone and a Windbubble.”
Bound, The Kill Room, Los Cos
“I really like the Bubblebee Concealer products for lavalier microphones. The rubber mounts...and the metal guards stop friction noise from reaching my mic capsule.”
Photographer of the Year AAP 2021, International Photography Awards 2021
“I used a lavalier & a Windbubble and the result was fantastic, despite the wind blowing directly onto the microphone. You couldn’t hear it at all. It was such a relief to have equipment I could trust.”
FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
How do I know which size fits my microphone?
Each Windbubble size is designed for specific microphone diameters. Check our size guide to find your mic model — most popular lavaliers from DPA, Sennheiser, Røde, and Sanken are listed. If your mic isn't listed, contact us and we'll help you find the right fit.
Will the Windbubble affect my audio quality?
No. The fur and mesh construction is acoustically transparent, so your mic's natural frequency response stays intact. You get full wind protection without any muffling or loss of clarity.
How do I mount the Windbubble correctly?
Spread the opening gently with your thumb and forefinger, then slide your mic capsule in at a slight angle. Once it's inside, pull back 2–3mm so the capsule isn't touching the inner mesh — this "dead air bubble" is what makes the wind protection work. See our mounting guide for a video walkthrough.
What's the difference between the original Windbubble and the Windbubble PRO?
The original Windbubble works with both omnidirectional and directional lavaliers. The Windbubble PRO is designed only for omnidirectional mics and includes a rubber mount for a more secure fit and better wind protection in extreme conditions. If you're unsure which to choose, contact us.
Which color should I choose?
Pick a color that matches the wardrobe or skin tone of your talent. Black is the most versatile and hides well in shadows. For lighter clothing or fair skin, try Beige or Off-White. We offer 6 colors so you can blend the Windbubble into almost any shot.
Can I wash my Windbubble?
Yes, but gently. Rinse with lukewarm water and a tiny drop of mild soap if needed. Reshape the fur with your fingers and let it air dry completely before using again. Avoid wringing, heat, or machine washing — this can damage the fur and elastic opening.
Will it fall off during a shoot?
No. The elastic opening is designed to grip your mic securely without damaging it. Once mounted correctly, Windbubbles stay put — even during fast-paced shoots or active talent movement. Just make sure you're using the right size for your mic.
How long does a Windbubble last?
With proper care, Windbubbles last for years of regular use. The fur is durable and maintains its wind protection properties over time. We include a metal storage tin to protect it when not in use. All products are backed by our 2-year warranty.
Does it work in heavy wind?
The original Windbubble handles light to moderate wind effectively. For extreme wind conditions, we recommend the Windbubble PRO which features a rubber mount and optional foam core insert for maximum protection.
Can I use it together with a Lav Concealer?
Yes. The Windbubble attaches to your mic capsule, while the Lav Concealer mounts separately to clothing. Many sound professionals use both — the Concealer for secure mounting and rustle reduction, and the Windbubble for wind protection. They're designed to work together.
