A: Rde provide a Lyre Upgrade for the original VideoMic. A search for 'rode videomic lyre upgrade' should get what you are looking for.

Q: 3. Is the included RF cable shielded? Some of the other Rycote Super-Shield systems list that the XLR cable is, but this one doesn't say.

A: Although Rycote does not divulge this level of specification for the cables used in the Rycote Super-Blimp NTG5 Windshield Kit for Rode NTG5 Microphone, most of their cable sourcing comes from Mogami and should most likely be well shielded.
