Rode BLIMP Extension

OVERVIEW
The Blimp Extension is a useful addition to the RØDE Blimp windshield system, allowing for the use of longer microphones up to 600mm in length. It features the Rycote Lyre suspension system for superior microphone isolation, a lightweight skeleton handle with 3/8” thread mount, and a Mogami cable with Neutrik and Switchcraft XLR connectors.

Please note that the Blimp Extension does not include a microphone.

The RØDE Blimp is a complete windshield and shock mounting accessory for various RØDE microphones and third party microphones up to 325mm in length. The redesigned handle and suspension system make it over 25% lighter than previous models, while still providing excellent acoustic suspension. The Blimp can also be attached to a boompole for convenient use. Please keep in mind that a RØDE Blimp is required to use the Blimp Extension.

The Blimp Extension is an add-on component kit for the RØDE Blimp windshield system that allows the use of long microphones, including the RØDE NTG8 and any microphone with barrel length of up to 600mm.

The RØDE Blimp is a complete windshield and shock mounting accessory for the NTG1, NTG2, NTG3, NTG4 and NTG4+ microphones, as well as any third party microphone up to 325mm (12 ¾”) in length. Now featuring the Rycote® Lyre suspension system, the Blimp provides the ultimate in microphone suspension and isolation. Constructed from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic, the Lyre provides superior acoustic suspension to traditional elastic solutions, and will never wear out, sag or snap. The Blimp’s handle has also been completely redesigned, reducing the product weight significantly, while increasing the ergonomics for handheld use.

Housed inside the grip is a heavy-duty Mogami cable which splits via a junction box to a highly-flexible thin cable inside the Blimp, to minimise the transference of vibration to the microphone. With the lightweight design of the handle and suspension system the new Blimp design is over 25% lighter (550gm without microphone or DeadWombat fitted). The Blimp attaches to any standard boompole via 3/8″ thread attachment at the base. The Universal Blimp Mount is available as an option to remove the handle when the Blimp is being used primarily on a boompole to reduce weight.

Please note that a RØDE Blimp is required to use this product.
