Not quite what I had expected
It was only upon opening this package that I realised the "Remote" was not wireless but instead has a short cable for you to attach to the recorder. I think Zoom could have easily put in a little in-fared sensor to make this wireless. Kind pointless to me otherwise.
It would have also made better sense to provide someone living in Ireland with the UK plug instead of the standard adapter Thomann provide for free. This makes the already bulky equipment less portable.
It was quite useful being given the spare usb cable, these are rare in Ireland for some reason!
The main feature of this pack was the windshield for me, it preformed well most of the time unfortunately wind can still be heard from time to time which considering the conditions I have used it in was very surprising, none the less it does help a lot.

Essential but overpriced
Honestly I never used the remote. The fact that is not wireless it's kind of a bummer. Also the quality of the remote is very low. I bought the bundle exclusively for the windshield which is essential and you can't record anything outdoors without it. So I guess it is an overpriced bundle. The cables are fine, the windshield works well and the remote is useless.

A solid add on set for the Zoom H6
A fairly high quality accessory pack for owners of the Zoom H6 field recorder.
The "dead cat" windshield is perhaps the most desirable accessory that this set provides. The windshield is of fairly high quality, and does a good job of blocking out mostly all wind noise in most low-to-medium outdoor windy situations. It is a huge cut above the black foam windshield provided by Zoom with the H6, but is perhaps not as good as other, more expensive windshields on the market.
The kit also includes a remote control unit for the H6, to remove any handling noise at the start or end of recordings. This is particularly useful when loading on to a tripod, or recording delicate subjects (eg. animals) at a distance. The cable on the remote is actually quite short, but the kit includes a much longer extension cable.
A power supply is also provided, extremely useful for working with the unit indoors. However, this seems slightly at odds with the other accessories provided, mostly for "outdoors" use. Please note: the power supply does NOT charge the unit, and instead only provides DC power.

Expensive
The only thing I found useful here is the remote control. The power supply is simply a USB wall wart and if you have the H6 you will have the lead. The wind shield may be used if you do any outside work but again for most situations the supplied pop shield would do the trick. Almost inevitably the remote isn't wireless.
Shame really, the H6 and the microphones are all superb.
