## Summary description

RØDE BLIMP is a professional microphone windshield and suspension accessory designed for shotgun and boom microphones. Compatible with models such as NTG‑1, NTG‑2, NTG‑3 and other listed shotgun mics, it provides wind and handling noise reduction. Dimensions: 490 × 285 × 125 mm; weight 0.55 kg; silver finish.

## Long description

RØDE BLIMP is a professional windshield and suspension accessory engineered for shotgun and boom microphones. Compatible with NTG‑series microphones such as NTG‑1, NTG‑2 and NTG‑3, as well as any shotgun microphone up to 325 mm in length, the BLIMP reduces wind and handling noise while providing stable mechanical isolation. The assembly combines a rigid thermoplastic housing and an integrated suspension to deliver consistent acoustic performance on location, in film production and in field recording situations. Dimensions: 490 × 285 × 125 mm; weight approximately 0.55 kg; silver finish.
Advantages
The BLIMP uses a single-piece thermoplastic Lyre suspension that resists sagging and wear, providing durable acoustic isolation compared with traditional elastic mounts. A redesigned ergonomic handle reduces overall weight and improves handheld balance; an internal heavy‑duty cable system minimises the transfer of vibration to the microphone. The windshield accepts a detachable DeadWombat furry cover for enhanced wind protection and fits standard boompoles via a 3/8" thread. The product is backed by a long manufacturer warranty and awarded design recognition for its construction and usability.
Suitable for
Location sound recording for film and television
Field production and documentary shoots
Outdoor interviews and ENG work
Studio or live-sound boompole use when wind protection is required
Key specifications
Compatible microphone length: up to 325 mm (12 3/4")
Overall dimensions: 490 × 285 × 125 mm
Weight: approximately 0.55 kg (without microphone or DeadWombat fitted)
Finish: silver
Suspension: single-piece Rycote® Lyre thermoplastic shock mount
Handle: redesigned ergonomic grip with internal heavy‑duty cable and junction box
Mounting: attaches to standard boompoles via 3/8" thread
Includes: DeadWombat windshield, caring brush and tail/patch cable
How to use
Insert a compatible shotgun microphone into the Blimp and secure it according to the internal mounting method to ensure proper alignment and balance. Connect the internal cable to the microphone and route the external cable from the handle to your recorder or mixer via the junction box. Fit the DeadWombat furry cover over the windshield when recording in windy conditions. Attach the BLIMP to a boompole using the 3/8" thread or hold by the handle for handheld work. Check positioning and microphone direction before recording to ensure optimal capture and minimal handling noise.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use the BLIMP with shotgun microphones up to 325 mm in length and ensure the internal cable connection is secure before mounting on a boompole. Replace the DeadWombat cover if it shows significant wear; avoid long-term exposure to extreme heat or moisture to maintain the thermoplastic suspension and exterior finish.
