General

If you have ever created nature sound recordings, you know what it sounds like when the wind blows into a bare directional microphone: like thunder without lightning. The older Rode Blimp is both renowned and award-winning and has now been improved to create the superior Rode Blimp MK2 windscreen with shockmount.

Properties of the Rode Blimp MK2 Windscreen with Shockmount

The product comes in three distinct parts. First, there's the blimp itself: a mesh housing in a honeycomb-structured pill-shaped frame. Second, a Dead Wombat is included; a fuzzy, hairy sleeve that filters low frequencies out of your recordings. Third, a pistol-style handle fitted with the (Rycote Lyre) shockmount to eradicate any handling noise. The Rycote Lyre is a flexible, but durable system that holds your microphone and absorbs shocks.

Using the Blimp

This blimp is designed specifically for the Rode NTG1, NTG2 and NTG3 microphones. A whole variety of microphones from other brands also fit in the blimp, as long as they aren’t longer than 325 mm. To make sure that your directional mic is compatible with the blimp, we advise you that you compare it to the above-mentioned Rode models. The entire set is a lot lighter than its predecessor, so that the weight of your camera or boom is made a lot more manageable. You can mount this blimp + holder on a (standard) 3/8-inch stand.

Rode Blimp MK2 Windscreen with Shockmount
Wrote the following about Rode Blimp MK2 Windscreen with Shockmount
Onlangs de Rode Blimp gekocht voor specifiek opnames maken in de natuur. Ik beoordeel de blimp voor mijn doel absoluut, beslist en zonder enige restrictie als onvoldoende. Een lichte bries verdraagt de blimp en dan werkt het goed. Als de wind wat sterker wordt heb ik echt last van de wind die mijn signaal vervormd. Met wind bedoel ik geen storm en ook niet iets wat daar op lijkt. Helaas heb ik geen windmetingen kunnen doen, dat had mijn beoordeling compleet gemaakt. Uiteraard heb ik verschillende opties geprobeerd; electronisch filteren, extra windkapjes op de microfoons zelf aangebracht maar het helpt niet. Ik gebruik zowel niertjes als omni's, km184 en km183. Ook de voor wind minder gevoelige omni's vervormen door de wind. Ik sluit niet uit dat ik iets verkeerd doe maar kan het niet bedenken. Ik heb het gevoel dat de wind geblokkeerd wordt maar dat laag frequent, veroorzaakt om de blimp heen als een soort turbulentie, niet voldoende afgeschermd wordt en daarmee mijn signaal vervormt. Ik hoop dat iemand met een goede tip komt want mijn stereo setup, met inderdaad twee blimps, is voor mij onbruikbaar voor mijn doel. Ik kan me voorstellen dat de blimp wel werkt als je moet hengelen en bewegen wat ook een lichte luchtstroom opwekt. Zoals gezegd; een briesje gaat goed, met wind gaat'ie de mist in. Mijn andere ervaringen met Rode, microfoons, zijn uitstekend.
Bax levert zoals gewoonlijk prima, ook de helpdesk service is zwaar OK.

Top product!
Rode geeft je gelijk een compleet pakket blimp, deadcat en accesoires.
De Mk2 Is vergeleken met de Mk 1 een aanzienlijk stukje lichter (naar mijnn mening) en heeft nog eens een fraai design die professionaliteit uitstraalt waar opdrachtgevers op de set altijd blij van worden.

Wednesday 6 July 2016 By Lizanne

The British brand Rycote is known for its high-quality shock mounts and wind shields like the Super-Blimp. This remarkable wind shield is compatible with every microphone from the NTG series by Røde, from the NTG1 to the NTG4+. What's more, it's also suitable for shotgun microphones that are up to 280 mm long and between 19 and 25 mm in diameter which means you can use it with microphones like the DPA 4017B, Neumann KMR81i, Sanken CS-2, Sennheiser MKE 600 and the MKH 416 too.
