The Story
The RØDE Blimp is an advanced windshield and shock mount system designed for RØDE shotgun microphones as well as third-party shotgun microphones up to 325mm in length. This high-performance system utilizes the Rycote® Lyre® suspension for exceptional isolation from handling noise, ensuring that recordings are free from unwanted vibrations. The Blimp features an ultra-lightweight and ergonomic handle for ease of use, while the integrated Mogami® cable, housed within the grip, connects to a flexible thin cable inside the Blimp. This design minimizes vibration transference to the microphone, providing clean and clear audio capture.
The Blimp is equipped to attach to any standard boompole with a 3/8-inch thread attachment at its base. For users who primarily mount the Blimp on a boompole, the optional Universal Blimp Mount allows for the removal of the handle. Included with the Blimp are the Dead Wombat windshield, a caring brush, and a tail/patch cable, ensuring that all necessary accessories are provided for optimal performance and maintenance.
