Hi Philipp
The Rode blimp works well, and can be found on eBay for a reasonable price
(reasonable for a blimp system, that is).
theWindcutter.com makes a fur windscreen that uses a cinch cord to tightly
close the back of the windscreen around the barrel of the microphone, and
I have used this with good results. The problem with most fur screens for
the NT4 is that they leave the back open, and wind swamps the capsules
from the rear. Unfortunately, Windcutter is currently not operating due to
a personal loss in the owner's life. I don't know when or if she will be
back in business.
But you might think about making a fur screen yourself, one that would go
over the stock foam screen and would, like the windcutter, securely close
at the back. I use this now much more often than the blimp because it
works almost as well and is much more convenient to carry. For strong
wind, the blimp is still necessary.
Good luck!
John
