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.

• Greatly reduces handling and wind noise
• Accommodates most shotgun microphones 325mm in length and 19-22mm diameter
• Rycote Lyre suspension system onboard with internal spacing guide

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you plug this into a MacBook pro and use it for zoom exercise sessions where the exerciser is a few feet away
Answer:	Perhaps, but I'm not a Mac user so can't be sure. I suspect you will find cheaper options since quality is not the issue for Zoom. Any little shotgun mic mounted on your camera is probably enough for you. This is a great mic and probably more than you need.
Question:	Can this microphone package be used for computer online meeting and on dslr camera? if yes, are cables included? what cables would be needed
Answer:	Yes an you’d need some things for all of those scenarios. You can plug the microphone into your sale camera provided the camera has an XLR port on it. But the microphone requires phantom power as well, so your camera will also need to be able to provide phantom power. Most cameras don’t have an XLR port or phantom power so I wouldn’t recommend trying this method. The easiest way to do it would be to buy an audio interface like a Scarlett 2i2. The interface plugs into your computer and the microphone would plug into the Scarlett 2i2 or whichever audio interface you choose. The audio interface also provides phantom power. In more clear words, the mic plugs into the audio interface, the audio interface plugs into your computer, and then your mic is hooked up to your computer to use in zoom calls, FaceTime, or whatever you want to use. Just make sure in the video calling app you have your audio input set as the audio interface. Hope that helped!
Question:	What distances do these microphones cover? Do they work at 6 or more feet away from the performer, singer? I'm curious
Answer:	I’ve shot at about 7 feet away and had to boost the levels in post. But I’m using the zcam e2 which has a great preamp. Would say anything past 6 feet is moving into the danger zone (Tom cruise). With our gh4 4 foot and the audio was still useable. Never pushed it passed that though. Hope this helps.
Question:	I own this mic and cant screw it open to replace the battery (its stuck) - any advice
Answer:	Lefty loosy, righty tighty
