Rode - BLIMP-R

Description

Rode Blimp Windshield and Rycote Shock Mount Suspension System for Shotgun Microphones

The Rode Blimp provides both professional and amateur sound and video recordists with a reliable, robust and incredibly effective windshield and shockmounting system. 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. 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 minimise the transference of vibration to the microphone.
