Windshield Extension Kit for Long Shotgun Microphones
The Rode Blimp Extension is designed to expand an existing Rode Blimp windshield and shockmount system so it can properly accommodate long shotgun microphones. This add-on allows users to protect extended-length shotgun mics from wind noise while maintaining effective shock isolation, making it an essential accessory for location sound, film production, and broadcast recording.
Built to Support Extra-Long Shotgun Microphone Barrels
This extension kit is engineered for shotgun microphones with longer barrels, including the Rode NTG8 and other models up to 23.6 inches in length. By extending the Blimp system, it ensures the microphone is fully enclosed within the windshield, which is critical for consistent wind protection and stable mounting during outdoor recording.
Improved Wind Noise Reduction for Outdoor Recording
The Blimp Extension includes a DeadWombat windshield that works with the extended Blimp housing to reduce wind interference in challenging environments. This added coverage helps maintain clean dialogue and detailed ambient audio when recording in windy locations, open terrain, or fast-moving production scenarios.
Designed to Integrate Seamlessly with the Rode Blimp System
This extension kit is made to work directly with the existing Rode Blimp windshield and shockmount components. Installation is straightforward, allowing users to adapt their current Blimp setup without replacing the entire system, saving time and cost while increasing flexibility.
Durable Molded Construction for Field and Studio Use
Constructed from molded plastic, the Blimp Extension is built to withstand the demands of field recording and regular transport. Its sturdy design supports professional use in film sets, broadcast workflows, and mobile audio kits where reliability is essential.
Ideal for Film, Broadcast, and Location Sound Workflows
By enabling compatibility with longer shotgun microphones, the Blimp Extension supports a wider range of production needs. It is especially useful for boom operators and sound mixers who require extended reach and focused pickup while maintaining effective wind and vibration control.
