RØDE Blimp
The RØDE Blimp is a comprehensive windshield and shock mounting system designed for shotgun microphones up to 325mm, ideal for eliminating wind and handling noise during outdoor recording. Featuring Rycote® Lyre® suspension, it offers superior isolation, along with a lightweight, ergonomic handle and an included ‘Dead Wombat’ fur cover.
- Superior Wind Protection: Designed to minimize wind noise, featuring a basket design and the “Dead Wombat” furry cover for high-wind conditions.
- Rycote® Lyre® Suspension: Uses a professional, hard-wearing thermoplastic suspension system that provides superior acoustic isolation and never sags or snaps.
- Lightweight and Durable: The redesign features an ergonomic handle and reduces the overall weight to 550gm (without microphone/Dead Wombat).
- Compatibility: Fits RØDE NTG1, NTG2, NTG3, NTG4, and NTG4+ mics, as well as most third-party shotgun microphones up to 325mm in length.
- Versatile Mounting: Attaches to any standard boompole via a 3/8-inch thread at the base, with a removable pistol grip.
- Integrated Cabling: Contains a high-quality Mogami® cable with a junction box for clean, low-vibration connections
