Rycote makes a furry for the NT4, which just fits over the foam screen
that comes with the Rode. This is definitely a place where sewing
your own faux fur version will save a bunch of money and not take much
time either while producing the same result as the furry...I think
there are still some good photos of similiar (homemade windscreens)
projects in the files section. Pretty straightforward though...cut a
piece of fake fur to fit over the foam, sew it up, and away you go.
