Older Rode Blimp

[SoundMonger]

Hello,

I just picked up a older Rode blimp. Good price on ebay it's in good condition. That said it has the old style suspension system. Is it possible to swap that older style for the newer lyre unit? I did search and the only thing was before the Rode started to ship with the Rycote mount.


Thanks
Dean

It says in this article that the two suspension systems are not compatible: http://nofilmschool.com/2014/05/rode-microphone-blimp-25-percent-lighter

Olius,

Thanks. I was looking here and only found early speculation. But all the early speculation appears to have been correct.

I've used lyres in a (1st version) Rode blimp. It's an easy switch.
