If you've never heard of a long shotgun microphone before then you need to hear what they can do for you! You know what a short shotgun microphone is even if you've only ever heard of them as "shotgun mics" before but a long shotgun mic is a powerful tool you can use to extract audio from far away.
Around the world people have heard of Rode Microphones but few people I've spoken to even knew Rode made the NTG-8 long shotgun microphone. With reach and rejection you have to hear to believe, get ready for an awesome example of what this microphone can do for you.
Rycote is known for having a huge selection of acoustically transparent wind protection options and has such an extensive catalog that there's at least one wind protection option for every shotgun microphone in the world. Even the NTG-8 has it's own special model number of Rycote Windjammer, the WS-11.
In this video I show you exactly why you need a long long shotgun microphone but one thing you might not think about is the fact that you heard no wind hit the microphone. That's because the WS-11 was doing it's job so well, you didn't even think about it.

Full Disclosure:
Rode did send me the NTG-8 and Rycote sent me the WS-11 kit, boom adapter, HWC and PCS in exchange for an unbiased showcase. I did not pay for them and get to keep them but did not allow it to affect my opinion so you can be unbiased and edited in a fair manner.
