RØDE Blimp Complete Windshield and Shock Mount System
Brand
RODE
The RØDE Blimp is the ultimate professional windshield and shock mount system for shotgun microphones. Designed to provide superior protection against heavy wind noise and handling vibrations, it is an essential tool for field recording, broadcast, and filmmaking. The system features an integrated Rycote® Lyre® suspension that completely decouples the microphone from the chassis, ensuring pristine audio even during rapid boom movements. With its lightweight, aerodynamic design, the Blimp allows for high-performance audio capture in the most challenging outdoor environments.
RØDE Blimp Windshield and Shock Mount System
The RØDE Blimp is a professional windshield and shock mount suspension system designed for shotgun microphones used in film production, broadcast recording, outdoor interviews, and professional field audio applications. Engineered for superior wind protection and vibration isolation, it helps capture clean and intelligible audio in challenging outdoor environments.
Widely trusted by filmmakers, sound engineers, and content creators, the Blimp provides a complete solution for reducing wind noise and handling interference during location recording.
Professional Windshield System for Outdoor Recording
The Blimp uses a full basket-style windshield enclosure designed to minimize wind turbulence around the microphone capsule. This helps reduce low-frequency rumble and unwanted environmental noise during outdoor recording sessions.
The included synthetic fur windshield provides additional protection in stronger wind conditions, making the system highly effective for outdoor dialogue capture, documentaries, and ENG production.
Integrated Rycote Lyre Suspension System
The Blimp incorporates a Rycote Lyre shock mounting system that isolates the microphone from handling vibrations, boom movement, and mechanical noise.
Unlike traditional elastic suspension systems, the Lyre design uses durable thermoplastic construction that maintains consistent performance without stretching or deterioration over time.
This ensures stable microphone isolation for professional recording applications.
Compatible with Professional Shotgun Microphones
The Blimp is designed to support a wide range of shotgun microphones up to approximately 325 mm in length.
It is compatible with many professional RØDE shotgun microphones as well as selected third-party broadcast microphones commonly used in film and television production workflows.
Lightweight and Ergonomic Design
The lightweight construction helps reduce operator fatigue during extended boom operation and handheld recording sessions.
An integrated pistol grip handle provides comfortable handheld control while maintaining secure microphone positioning during active production use.
