Superior Wind and Handling Noise Reduction
The RØDE Blimp is a complete windshield and shock mount designed to greatly reduce handling and wind noise for professional shotgun microphones. Ideal for film, broadcast, and field recording, it ensures crystal-clear audio in challenging outdoor conditions.
Advanced Lyre Suspension System
Featuring the Rycote Lyre suspension system with internal spacing guide, the Blimp provides superior acoustic suspension compared to traditional elastic mounts. This durable system prevents sagging or snapping while isolating the microphone from vibration and handling noise.
Ergonomic, Lightweight Design
Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Blimp is over 25% lighter than previous models. Its redesigned handle improves ergonomics for handheld use and allows easy attachment to any standard boom pole with a 3/8" thread. Compatible with NTG1, NTG2, NTG3, and most 325mm shotgun microphones.
