Superior Field Audio Starts with the Right Shield

The Rode Blimp is engineered for creators who work in unpredictable environments and demand clean, noise-free recordings. Designed to isolate and shield your shotgun microphone from wind, handling, and vibration, this full-size blimp system is an essential tool for outdoor audio capture.

Durable Build, Lightweight Frame

Constructed from a single-piece thermoplastic chassis, the Rode Blimp offers pro-level durability without excess weight. Its hollowed-out “skeleton” handle and slimmed-down body cut overall weight by over 25%, making it easy to maneuver during long field shoots, interviews, or booming applications.

Shock Mounting Redefined

The integrated Rycote Lyre suspension system replaces outdated rubber bands with a virtually indestructible thermoplastic structure that eliminates mechanical rumble, cable noise, and wear-and-tear failures. This system holds shotgun mics up to 12.75" long and allows for custom placement using the adjustable sliding rail.

Designed for Seamless Signal Flow

Included with the Blimp is a premium Mogami cable and Neutrik XLR connectors—industry leaders for low-noise and high-integrity signal transfer. These components are embedded directly into the system to minimize cable movement and maintain quiet, clean audio in all conditions.

Complete Wind Protection

To battle the elements, the Rode Blimp includes the Dead Wombat windshield, which significantly reduces high wind interference without sacrificing clarity. This system allows content creators, sound designers, and field engineers to capture professional-grade audio in outdoor, high-motion, or challenging recording environments.
