Description
The Cub is a premium fur windshield designed specifically for small shotgun microphones and camera-mounted mics. It brings the same multi-pile fur technology from our larger Windkillers to compact mics that need serious wind protection without adding bulk.
The dense, carefully selected faux fur creates a dead air zone around your microphone capsule—wind enters, loses its energy, and exits without causing noise. Your audio stays clean while the compact profile keeps your camera rig streamlined.
Perfect for run-and-gun shooting, documentary work, and any situation where you need professional wind protection on a camera-mounted mic.

What Makes It Work
Tames Heavy Wind
Long-haired faux fur provides maximum wind protection for outdoor interviews and ENG work. The dense, fluffy material stops wind noise before it reaches your microphone.
Universal Fit
The elastic opening at the base stretches to fit most standard handheld microphones. No adapters or special mounting required — just slip it on and go.
Crystal-Clear Audio
The air enters the bubble briefly and exits without disturbing your microphone capsule. Wind passes through while dialogue stays pristine and detailed.
Two Versions Available
Choose long-haired fur for heavy wind conditions or short-haired for lighter breeze and a more compact profile. Both deliver professional results.
Designed in Denmark
Engineered and quality-tested at BubbleBee Industries headquarters in Denmark. Every Big Windbubble meets our exacting standards.

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.”
