Record outside with confidence using the Super-Blimp Kit from Rycote, a complete windshield and shockmount system for the Rode NTG series, and similar shotgun microphones measuring 11" in length with a 0.7 to 0.9" diameter. The kit provides patented Lyre Technology and a broadcast industry basket to protect against shocks, vibrations, and wind noise—all with acoustic transparency. A windjammer, designed to slip over the basket, protects against extreme wind noise.
A Rycote 90° Shortie XLR connector is situated inside the basket, complete with an integral RF shield to protect against the kind of dirty audio attributed to radio interference. Releasing the microphone from the basket is easy, thanks to its quick release pods. A pistol-grip boom adapter with a ratchet-style release lever is also included with the unit.
