Thank you very much Ty!

If I’m shooting indoors should I keep the deadcat on the mic? Or remove it and just keep the foam windshield on? Does it make any difference?

*btw, the pad switch on the rode videomic is inside the battery compartment. To change the pad, I still need to use a toothpick because the switch is really small!
I think that’s one thing I don’t like about the Videomic.

When you say take it out, does it mean set the pad to 0dB?
Changing the Pad is really hard on the Videomic, that’s why I just want to put it in one level and not touch it again.

And why does people say that the best pad to leave the videomic on is -10dB?

*I manually adjust my volume on my camera.

Thanks Ty!
