Record outside with confidence using the Super-Blimp Kit from Rycote, a complete windshield and shockmount system for the Rode NTG series, and similar shotgun microphones measuring 11" long with a 0.7 to 0.9" diameter. The kit provides patented Lyre Technology and a broadcast industry basket to protect against shocks, vibrations, and wind noise—all with acoustic transparency. A windjammer, designed to slip over the basket, protects against extreme wind noise.

A Rycote 90° Shortie XLR connector is situated inside the basket, complete with an integral RF shield to protect against the kind of dirty audio attributed to radio interference. Releasing the microphone from the basket is easy, thanks to its quick release pods. A pistol-grip boom adapter with a ratchet-style release lever is also included with the unit.

Q: 1. I have the Rode NTG3B which is 10 inches. Should I get the medium or large for the Rycote Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics. Which one would fit better?

A: RYSSKM is directly compatible with the Rode NTG3B.

Q: 2. Will this fit the MKH416 and the MKH50?

A: The 416 will fit. The 50 will not.

Q: 3. Would this Super-Shield be too large for the DPA 4018B?

Q: 4. rode blimp 2.0 vs this?

A: Super-Blimp NTG. Better quality, lighter and easier to assemble

Q: 5. which one of these Rycote shock mounts are best for Sennheiser MKH 50?

A: You can use the Rycote INV-7 InVision Microphone Suspension for Stand and Boompole Mounting (B&H # RYINV7) or Rycote InVision INV-HG mkIII Microphone Suspension - Lyre Shockmount (B&H # RYINVHGMKIII) with the Sennheiser MKH 50. The MKH 50 is 150mm long and the INV-6 accommodates mics that are less than 120mm long, so the INV-6 won't work. The INV-7 is for mics that are longer than 120mm and the INV-HG is also suitable for the MKH 50.

Q: 6. What is the weight of this setup? (Not the package weight.)

A: Rycote provides approximate weight for the kit without the handle as 15.9 oz (450 g). Weight for the suspension only is 9.2 oz (260 g). Weight for the windjammer only is 3.9 oz (110 g). Weight for the kit with the windjammer fitted and without the handle attached is 19.7 oz (560 g). Kit (w/o handle): 450g Suspension only: 260g Windjammer only: 110g Kit with WJ fitted (w/o handle): 560g

Q: 7. What is the distance between the two lyres? I've heard its 1 , but just wanted to confirm that before I buy one :)

A: Thank you very much for the quick responses :) I plan on using the INV6 with my Schoeps active bars! But I'm in the process of making my own PAS(Point At Stacks) active bars out of 20mm delrin and 3/8 stainless steel threaded rods as well, and just wanted to know the distance between the lyres so that I can make a super small PAS bar! I was going to make my smallest PAS bar about 1 1/4 long, so this will be perfect! And then I'm going to make a few at DINa/DIN/NOS spacing as well to use with my NBob SGC Clips(custom Schoeps SGC clips that are made from delrin and aluminum bases)! So this INV 6 will be absolutely perfect! So thanks again for the answers fellas ;)

Q: 8. Will these work with the LOM basicUcho mics? https://store.lom.audio/products/basicucho?variant=41645264011422

A: The Rycote InVision INV-6 Microphone Suspension for Short/Small Condenser Mics (4.7" Long, 0.7 to 0.9" Diameter), BH # RYINV6, is comprised of two InVision lyres with two clips that accommodate microphone bodies measuring 19 to 25mm in diameter and measure under 4.7" long, The LOM basicUcho microphone measures 80 (3.14 inches) x ⌀20.3 mm which would make it compatible with this Rycote microphone mount.

Q: 9. Would a CS-3e fit in this blimp? I know it is bigger than the CS-2.

A: Sanken CS-3 shotgun will not fit the Rode super Blimp, Inside the blimp the depth is 8 inches the Sanken length is 10.7 inches too long will not fit.

Q: 10. Why is this cheaper than the super-shield?

A: The Rycote super-shield and super-blimp are very similar products; both offering exceptional suspension mechanisms and excellent wind noise reduction. The biggest advantage to the super-shield (and why you pay more) is the attached hand grip. Should you desire to use the mic in a stealth like application, the hand grip will come in very handy- no pun intended.
