Blimp Driving Simulator Games

Adds a new level of interactivity to racing and driving games that greatly enhances immersion and enjoyment. I have driven automatic cars my whole life, but for playing racing games or Truck Simulator I really like having the added control and activity that manually switching gears provides. Feel more like a racer or a trucker. Quality is great, feels heavy and solid and mostly metal. Mounted perfectly to my wheelstand pro with RGS upgrade. Quality and functionality-wise I've had no issues with this shifter, it recognized automatically in Forza Horizon 5 without any configuration at all, and was very easy to configure in Truck Simulator with an SKRS truck shifter knob on it. You do need to install a software driver when you first set it up in order for it to work correctly, but it's very simple setup. It is expensive for what it is, but I don't regret the purchase at all because of how much it has changed the way I play pretty much any driving/racing game. After getting this, my setup feels complete. Just a note on the seller: I never ordered anything from B&H before but I was impressed with the quick order processing and shipping. I ordered the product later in the evening of Dec. 12, and received the product morning of Dec. 15. Good experience, I'd buy from B&H again.

I usually don't play simulator style games, but I decided to give this one a shot. It is so much fun. You really can play at your own pace.

I purchased this so I could run higher end games. MS Flight Simulator now runs at 60FPS on Very High settings which is something that I didn't think I'd be able to do at this price point. Probably the best value you can get for a mid-tier graphics card.

Flight Simulator

This mount make my Blimp very very lightweight.

I used them for my new flight simulator, buttons, buttons and more buttons, nothing bad yet!

This takes the simulator world to a new level.

The perfect rig for me to get into simulator racing.

I ordered the RODE Blimp for a low budget commercial that took place on a baseball field. Our original location fell through and we were forced to shoot on a field that had no protection from the wind. During the shoot the wind was consistantly 15-20mph with gusts up to 30. The blimp handled it wonderfully. This was an investment that for me, paid for itself on the first day. The only minor drawbacks were the clip for the integrated cable which was dificult to keep in place when assembling the blimp. Also know that it is rather large and requires a sturdy boom, but for it's size and construction is realtively light. Great Product.

I ordered this Rode Blimp as part of a boom setup, all parts were ordered from B&H. I was excited the minute I had the package in my hands. Rode has a nack for making great looking packaging for their products. Packaging aside, the Rode Blimp is awesome right out of the box. It has a sturdy feel and as you adjust the different components of the blimp, it doesn't feel like it's about to fall apart like some systems. The pistol grip handle is really great, with a quick realease lever to adjust the angle of the blimp. I know I'll be using the pistol grip in many audio situations where a boom is not necessary. All of the XLR connections in the handle and the cables are very high quality. It's also easy to replace the cable should it ever become damaged. The suspension system is great and you can adjust the rubber bands to be in different configurations. The ends of the blimp just screw on with one turn, much less cumbersome than other slot and tab systems. The thing I love about Rode is that they include all accessories with the kit. The blimp comes with a handled allen wrench for making adjustments, as well as a brush for the furry wind cover.
