Rode Blimp Windshield with Rycote Lyre Suspension System



zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Suspend your Rode NTG3, NTG2 or NTG1 -- or any short shotgun microphone up to 12" long -- with this zeppelin-style windscreen, shock mount, and pistol grip.
Overview
The RODE Blimp is a complete windshield and shock mounting accessory for the NTG1, NTG2 and NTG3 microphones, as well as any third party shotgun microphone up to 12" in length.
Now featuring the Rycote Lyre suspension system, the Blimp provides the ultimate in microphone suspension and isolation. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap.
The Blimp's handle has also been completely redesigned, reducing the product weight significantly, while increasing the ergonomics for handheld use. Housed inside the grip is a heavy-duty Mogami cable which splits via a junction box to a highly-flexible thin cable inside the Blimp, to minimize the transference of vibration to the microphone. With the lightweight design of the handle and suspension system the Blimp design is over 25% lighter (550gm without microphone or Dead Wombat fitted).
The Blimp attaches to any standard boom pole via 3/8" thread attachment at the base. The Universal Blimp Mount is available as an option to remove the handle when the Blimp is being used primarily on a boom pole to reduce weight.
The Dead Wombat windshield, caring brush and tail/patch cable are included.
- Revised, lighter handle
- Mogami cable with Neutrik/Switchcraft connectors
