the filter works fine, the hand is excellent. It would be cool if you could separate the head filter from the sleeve, like the Nady Pop nylon pop filter, so you can only change the head when the filter is changed. Overall not bad but frankly overpriced. for what it is. Stars because it comes in a box that doesn't close the front of the box! It could be damage in transit with other items etc. It would also be great to have some sort of dust cover for the head filter or a small case to protect the filter. I mean for $65 of course. Good product, not good value for money.
