I have tried the windscreens I bought from Camera Nation off eBay for my Ro=
de M3's, and am happy to tell that they fit just fine on my AT4022's, over =
the foam screen.
Maybe one day I'll get me some Rycotes but for now, I'll stick to these. Th=
ey came cheap too.

I realized that the furry screens for my Rode M3's just might fit. Had them=

Both how they capture the whole sound picture, and how they keep the wind n=
