I just got my RODE Blimp the other day from DVeStore, $299.00, I'm impressed with it's construction, appearance and functionality.
The blimp follows a traditional blimp design like Sennheiser & Rycote, two half sphere end caps that screw on to the cylindrical body. It's made of flexible injected plastic (hexagonal patterns) with the crucial fabric lining inside needed for cutting air movement and creating DAS (Dead Air Space), no foam inside (foam does not work too well for cutting wind and leaving the frequencies intact).
The Blimp body slides snuggly onto a rail system where an adjustable handle with an internal tail cable runs through it and terminates at the end of the handle.
Overall it's a well crafted practical design, it looks good and it works, it kills wind disruption giving you the audio you want.
It comes with different size diameter rings for suspending your shotgun mic. It fits all the way up to a 12" ME66 or you could put in there a 7" AT 875R and anything in between.
It comes with a Dead Kitty/Dead Wombat furry, fits snuggly and does it's job well, and there's a nice fold-up hair brush for it!
I recommend anyone in the market for a blimp to check out this system and see the value you get for the money.
