Microphone mount RODE BLIMP MOUNT — suspension mount for RODE Blimp

RODE BLIMP MOUNT is a suspension mount designed specifically to secure microphones inside the RODE Blimp windshield system. It fits within the blimp frame and provides a stable mounting point, reducing handling noise and mechanical vibration transfer while allowing precise positioning of the microphone for film, broadcast and location sound recording.

Advantages

The BLIMP MOUNT offers a purpose-built solution to isolate the microphone from frame and operator movement without altering the Blimp’s aerodynamic profile. Its construction ensures a reliable attachment that maintains microphone alignment and keeps the capsule centred within the windshield. By minimizing mechanical coupling to the blimp body, the mount helps preserve natural audio clarity and reduces the need for post‑production correction of handling noise.

Suitable for

• Location sound recording for film and TV
• Broadcast and ENG on‑location work
• Field interviews and documentary production
• Any situation requiring reduced handling vibration inside a blimp windshield

Key specifications

• Purpose: suspension/mount for securing microphones inside a Blimp windshield
• Compatibility: designed for use with the RODE Blimp windshield system
• Function: isolates microphone from mechanical vibration and handling noise
• Mounting: provides a stable attachment point that enables precise microphone positioning within the windshield

How to use

Fit the BLIMP MOUNT into the internal frame of the RODE Blimp according to the Blimp’s assembly instructions, then secure the microphone in the mount’s cradle so the capsule remains centered within the windshield. Ensure connection points are tightened but not overtightened to avoid compressing isolation elements. Check microphone alignment and perform an audio test to confirm reduced handling noise and correct positioning before recording.

Usage recommendations

For best results combine the BLIMP MOUNT with shock‑mounting practices and proper boom handling technique. Regularly inspect mounting points for wear and ensure the microphone is compatible with the mount’s cradle dimensions to maintain isolation performance.
