## Summary description

The RØDE BLIMP is a microphone accessory designed for wind protection and shock absorption. It is compatible with various microphones, featuring a silver finish and dimensions of 490mm width, 285mm height, and 125mm depth.

## Long description

The RØDE BLIMP Silver 490mm width is a purpose-built microphone accessory that provides wind protection and mechanical isolation for shotgun microphones up to 325mm (12 3/4”) in length. Constructed around a durable thermoplastic Lyre suspension system, the Blimp integrates a redesigned, lightweight handle with an internal heavy-duty audio cable and delivers reduced weight and improved ergonomics for handheld and boompole use. The accessory includes a Dead Wombat windshield, caring brush and tail/patch cable, and attaches to standard boompoles via a 3/8" thread at the base.
Advantages
The single-piece Rycote® Lyre suspension provides reliable shock isolation without sagging, stretching or breakage common to elastic mounts, while the hard-wearing thermoplastic construction maintains consistent acoustic performance. The redesigned handle reduces overall weight and improves ergonomics for extended handheld use, and the internal Mogami cable with a junction box minimizes vibration transfer to the microphone. The inclusion of a Dead Wombat windshield and accessory tools supports effective wind attenuation and straightforward maintenance.
Suitable for
Field recording and location sound where wind protection is required
Film and video production using NTG1, NTG2, NTG3 or similar shotgun microphones up to 325mm
Broadcast and ENG situations with boompole-mounted microphones
Documentary and outdoor interviews in variable weather conditions

Boompole attachment: 3/8" thread at base
Approximate weight: 550 g without microphone or Dead Wombat fitted (manufacturer figure)
How to use
Fit a compatible shotgun microphone into the Blimp with the microphone centered along the suspension length, routing the internal thin cable to the microphone input and connecting via the external Mogami cable and junction box. Secure the Dead Wombat windshield over the Blimp frame for maximum wind attenuation. Attach the Blimp to a boompole using the 3/8" thread at the base for overhead operation, or hold by the ergonomic handle for handheld work. Regularly check the internal cable connection and the condition of the Dead Wombat cover to ensure consistent performance.
Usage recommendations
Use the Blimp in combination with a boompole for minimal handling noise during long takes, and store the Dead Wombat separately to avoid compressing the fur when transporting. Replace the furry cover if worn to maintain wind protection; the thermoplastic Lyre suspension requires no maintenance but should be kept free of heavy impact or prolonged UV exposure.
