Product Description
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 325mm (12 3/4”) 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 new 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.

The other day I was shooting a video after a storm had passed and the winds were still hovering around 20mph. Once I put on the 'Dead Wombat' the wind noise was literally cut down to nothing. At first I thought it wasn't working because shotgun mic (NTG2) was picking up the leaves falling and I thought it was wind....it was just that clear!
The most important factor of this package is the DEAD WOMBAT (which is included and thank you RODE for doing that). This is and will be the only thing you have to stop the wind and it works flawlessly. You will need this in any high wind situation.
All in all, if you're looking for a wind muff, a high quality shotgun mic holder or just a better (or the best) way to cut out the wind from your production, I cannot emphasize this next statement enough....BUY THIS.
Would you be able to, in fact, hear a flatulent frog in a hurricane? Probably, let me know how that works out.

Reviewed in Mexico on March 5, 2024
Lo uso con lo shotgun Rode NTG4+ e insieme al boom della rode da 3,2m. Si adatta benissimo a tutti i tipi di ripresa sia in interno (lo consiglio senza deadcat per migliorare il guadagno audio in presa diretta) ed in esterno (lo consiglio con il deadcat) anche in caso di forte vento o spostamenti bruschi mentre si registra. Il deadcat è incluso e lavora benissimo anche con forte vento. Ho fatto delle riprese in un bosco di sera a fianco ad una cascata e con parecchio vento, e ha svolto il suo lavoro in modo eccellente.
Il cavo xlr ed i collegamenti integrati sono di qualità e le sospensioni per il microfono sembrano fragili ma sono di grande qualità. È perfettamente compatibile con le aste boom con attacco 3/8'' (quello grande, per intenderci).
Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti i videomaker esperti e non, soprattutto se si usano già le attrezzature della Rode.
