Q: 6. Can I put a Rde blimp on this suspension?

A: Hi Steve. This is a Rycote product, and cannot therefore be used with a Rde Blimp basket. The technology behind the Lyres originates with Rycote; however, we have licensed Rde to manufacture their own version, and so the Lyre that comes with and fits the VideoMic and similar/other products is designed and manufactured entirely by them. Rycote's official Lyres and suspensions are not incorporated: any versions you see on Rde products are made by them using their own materials and production methods under license, and fit using a different mechanism. Hope that helps!

Q: 7. What is the diffusion fabric? Is it possible to switch out for different types and if so can you please link to the fabrics?

A: The diffusion fabric used in the Impact Luxbanx Duo Extra Large Rectangular Softbox (54 x 72") is a cotton blend. This box does not offer additional front baffles, however material such as the Rosco E-Colour #460 Quiet Grid Cloth (60" x 20' Roll) are often used for additional diffusion panels.

Q: 8. Will this work with Zoom H4N?

A: Yes the Rycote 041130 Portable Recorder Suspension HD will attach to Zoom H4

Q: 9. I tried it today but the setup is kind of difficult. Looking to understand how others use/store it. I wanted it so I can take full body shots in white background. I used my smallest (but still decent) stand and the stand does not allow it to reach to the floor (too high) so I had to hold it with a couple of boxes on the front of the softbox. It is too heavy for the AD600 to be able to hold it, another reason for the 2 cardboard boxes. Also how do you store it? Any photos of your setup ? Thanks in advance for any input

A: Photographers usually use a C-Stand with a sand bag.

Q: 10. What is designed mic weight range for this? (The manufacturer's video indicates that different designs serve different applications. Makes sens. So what weight mic can THIS one handle? One reviewer noted his recorder flopped around too much.)

A: For recorders with a weight 300g (.67 lbs) or higher Rycote recommends the Portable Recorder Suspension HD. https://bhpho.to/2lzKviy This will support larger recorders such as the Zoom H6, Marantz PMD661, Roland R26 and other similarly sized recorders.
