The Rode Blimp is a professional-grade windshield and shock mount system designed to provide maximum protection against wind noise and handling vibrations. It is an essential tool for location sound recordists and filmmakers who need to capture clean dialogue in challenging outdoor environments. The Blimp is compatible with a wide range of shotgun microphones up to 325mm in length, making it a versatile choice for everything from the NTG series to longer cinema-standard mics.
The system features an integrated Rycote Lyre suspension system, which provides superior microphone isolation compared to traditional elastic-band mounts. The Lyre suspension is made from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, ensuring it never sags, snaps, or requires re-threading. For wind protection, the Blimp utilizes an aerodynamic housing that creates a still-air environment around the capsule. When conditions get extreme, the kit includes a DeadWombat furry windshield and a grooming brush to further dissipate high-velocity wind noise.
The hardware is designed for ergonomic use, featuring a lightweight pistol grip with a built-in 3/8-inch thread for easy mounting onto a boompole. The grip also includes a dedicated attachment point for the Mogami cable that runs inside the housing, minimizing cable-borne noise. With its robust construction and included "DeadWombat" cover, the Rode Blimp offers a complete, industry-standard solution for high-performance field recording.
