A windjammer than can fit on any mic really, and is adjustable perhaps? If not, then is their any that can fit both on NTG-3 and the 4053b, that do a good job? Thanks.
Are their any good multi-mic windjammers?

I have a RODE blimp that I have used with an NTG-3 and many other mics. It has several diferant size MIC clips. It is great and a good price. I also love their boom pole.

This is the blimp I have: http://www.proaimshop.com/pas/PROAIM-BMP60-R-Pro-Long-Blimp-60cm-windscreen.html
It's nice because it came with an extension tube for the blimp so that if you happen to be using an extra long shotgun, it'll work just fine.. and has the wind sock for both the longer and shorter lengths.
and I just finally got around to acquiring the boom pole a couple weeks ago: http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-ft-Carbo...995?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3380f43883

Okay thanks. If I had to choose between a blimp and a deadcat, which is better for now? I don't expect to be shooting during a huge storm or anything though.
A dead cat doesn't work without a blimp. It's just soft and need the structure of the blimp to form it's shape.
A softie is a big piece of foam with a hole for a mic that sometimes has long hairs coming off (like a dead cat) to help deaden wind.
Generally speaking, one of the audio pros can correct me, the blimp (with optional dead cat) is better than a softie.

Well how come when you see some boom operators, they have their mics in blimps but no deadcats, if the two are suppose to be used together?
A dead cat is for EXTRA wind protection or moisture protection when it rains or they are doing water effects on-set. It will muffle the sound slightly, but it's better to be slightly muffled than to have constant wind being picked up by the mic. If you don't need it, you don't use it. However, once you've started with the dead cat you continue to use it after the wind dies out so the sound remains consistent.
As I have mentioned in other posts, the higher quality you get the less it will affect the sound.

Okay thanks. I thought the deadcat just went over the mic. I will get the road blimp then, if that's a good choice. Does it come with different sized mic clips or do I have to buy those separately?
For what it's worth... the one I linked to is just as good as the rode, at half the price.

Okay thanks. I was going to by a pole and shock mount too, since my homemade pole and shockmount do not seem to be doing as good of a job, and has some drawbacks. How is this package, is it a good one?
