Pros & Cons
Pros
This external mic windshield is a great replacement to paying extra money for a brand name like rode or similar brands. It is a little bit big for the takstar mic, but that's no biggie. Works better than the one that comes on my thousand dollar mic.

The windscreen is of considerable girth, even with the foam screen installed. It fits the takstar sgc-598 microphone poorly. Hairs are so long it actually muted out the audio.

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness
I bought this for my takstar smg598 its well made and works great
I have it ontop of a panasonic g85 mirrorless camera and it literally looks like theres a cat laying ontop of it
Im using it on my takstar shotgon mic and theres a good inch gap at the end
