What's in the box

  • microphone
  • 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.

For example, they mention that it works great, it's unmatched, and it seems to shed less than cheaper alternatives.

    5 Stars
    A worthy purchase.
    1st Off. I have yet to use the 1st gen of this device.Rycote mount: With that said. The version with the rycote mount has been working superbly for me. I've owned other rode mics with rycote mounts and I've yet to see one break unlike the rubber bands on my videomic pro which have both snapped and plastered my audio with horrible squeaking.Mogami wiring: excellent audio quality. Although the wire could be about an inch and a half longer to allow for infinite positioning along the bottom of the blimp without stretching the cable.Handling Noise On a pole: if you are gentle and subtle when moving around, no noise. If you are thrashing the blimp around, you're gonna hear noise.Handling noise hand held l: if you take a firm steady grip, no noise. If you tap the grip as you're holding it you will hear noise.Wind reduction: without the dead wombat cover expect no wind noise when under a ceiling fan but anything stronger may still come through. With the dead wombat, I've used the blimp in 25mph (according to the weather app) and had no wind noise come through.This blimp is an excellent investment into the audio production aspect of your filmmaking.Lastly. I will be looking for spare rycote mounts just in case but I don't expect to be using them anytime soon.

    Reviewed in Mexico on March 5, 2024
    En general el Rode blimp parece bastante sólido; sin embargo, una de las palancas de apriete de la montura de pistola viene rota y no se queda en su lugar. Al parecer es un defecto de fabrica y Amazon no envía un reemplazo inmediato. He tenido experiencia comprando productos Rodé por esta plataforma y es la primera vez que el empaque llega enpolvadony golpeado.
