I would buy the RODE Blimp again.
Sound
The RODE blimp is excellent! I have used it outside in moderate to high Las Vegas winds and you cannot hear any “wind rumble”. I get very high level and it does not color my sound. The blimp is light weight so holding all day on a boom pole is not a problem. I will by several more as I add more microphones to my gear package.
Features
I love the built in XLR cable that fits into the handle. It is nice that RODE included a hairbrush for the wind cover.
Ease of Use
Well, it's a microphone blimp so...

Well made all around
