Description
A shockmount designed to work on shotgun microphones. The R˜DE Blimp is a complete windshield and shock mounting accessory for the R˜DE 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' 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 minimise 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 DeadWombat fitted). The Blimp attaches to any standard boompole 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 boompole to reduce weight. The Dead Wombat windshield, caring brush and tail/patch cable are included. The added confidence of a full ten year warranty* ensures that the Blimp is one of the best microphone windshield system available, further evidenced by a 2009 Red Dot Award and Australian International Design Award for outstanding product design. *Excludes normal wear and tear of Dead Wombat furry cover or any misuse, modification or improper storage and transportation of the product.

Product review & video
this is the new Road blimp microphone windshield they've had one of these on sale for years but now it's been redesigned to reduce handling noise as usual it comes with a 10 year warranty and there are many other features listed on the box such as the new handle and Megami cabling and there's also a clue to the nature of their redesign yes that really does say Rycote Rycote of course make a huge range of Windjammers themselves so they are a competitor of road but as roads main businesses microphones it seems the pair are prepared to work in tandem this is what you get in the box for your 180 quid there's the blimp itself a rather good instruction manual with lots of really clear diagrams of how it all fits together a hexagonal screwdriver and a brush for your dead wombat yes really the dead wombat is the name that those Ozzy funsters rode give to their furry windshield and it's hidden i
