RODE Blimp Windshield and Shockmount System for Shotgun Microphones

The RODE Blimp is the ultimate professional-grade windshield and shockmount system designed to deliver pristine audio in challenging environments. Engineered for RODE shotgun microphones such as the NTG1, NTG2, NTG3, NTG4, and NTG4+, as well as third-party models up to 325mm in length, the Blimp ensures superior isolation from handling noise and wind interference. Featuring the industry-leading Rycote® Lyre® suspension system and premium Mogami® cabling, this lightweight and ergonomic solution is ideal for location sound recordists, filmmakers, and broadcast professionals.

Whether handheld or mounted on a boompole via its 3/8" thread, the Blimp offers unmatched versatility and acoustic transparency. The redesigned handle houses a heavy-duty Mogami cable that splits via a junction box to a flexible internal cable, minimizing vibration transfer. Included accessories like the Dead Wombat windshield, tail/patch cable, and maintenance brush make this an all-in-one solution for outdoor and indoor audio capture.
