Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. will Blimp work with Rode NTG1?

A: I wouldnt advise this for the NTG1. This is designed fro the MKH60 which has a larger diameter and is longer. Here are two good options for the NTG1 Rode Blimp System (Item# ROBLIMPR) Rycote Super Shield (Item# RYSSKM) Both of the above options are also far less expensive than the Sennheiser as with the Sennheiser you will still need to add the Grip and the wind muff in order to use this.

Q: 2. Will this fit the Schoeps CMC641?

A: It will be a bit long but yes, it will fit.

Q: 3. Will this system correctly hold the Sennheiser MKH 60 microphone?

A: This kit will not fit the Sennheiser MKH-60 correctly. The correct Rycote windshield system is "Windshield Kit 4"; B&H# RYWSK4.

Q: 4. Will this fit the Sanken CS3e?

A: Yes, the Rycote 010324 Windshield Kit is compatible for use with the Sanken CS-3e Shotgun Microphone.

Q: 5. Does this have enough clearance to mount an MKH 418?

A: No. The Rycote 010324 Windshield Kit is intended for use with microphones that are 9.84" (250 mm) long and between 0.75 to 0.98" (19 to 25 mm) in diameter. The Sennheiser MKH 418S Stereo Shotgun Microphone is 11" (280 mm) long with a 0.75" (19 mm) diameter, so it is too long for this particular windshield. As a compatible model for the MKH 418S, you can use the Rycote 086069 Modular Windshield Kit WS 3 with XLR-5F and Connbox CB4 (B&H # RYMWS3STKIT).

Q: 6. Will this fit a Senheiser HSP 2?

A: Yes the Sennheiser MZW02 is directly compatible with the Sennheiser HSP2.

Q: 7. Does this fit a sennheiser 600 shotgun microphone?

A: The MZW 8060 windshield is designed for the length and diameter of the MKH 8060 microphone. The MKE 600 does have a similar diameter, however Sennheiser offers a windshield designed for it as well the MZW600. There are also several foam windshields available from third party manufacturers that offer similar performance.

Q: 8. Is this microphone acceptable by film/tv industry standards to be used indoors without on location sound treatment?

A: This mic is a professional shotgun microphone used regularly in film and video for dialog capture. The MKH-416 may give you some reflections off of the back of the mic in-doors, which could effect the sound quality. You may choose a small diaphragm boom mic for interior interviews, such as the Schoeps CMC641 Set Colette Series Supercardioid Microphone Set (Gray), BH #SCCMC641S, which will elevate that issue. As always, bring the mic in as close as possible to your subjects, and cover reflective surfaces, such wood or tile floors with a blanket or rug. This will improve your sound recordings.

Q: 9. Would I be able to put put the Rycote pistol grip on this blimp?

A: Yes

Q: 10. How much does this weigh (without mic or fur)?
