Which blimp to get?

[Heezzi]

I had decided I'd go for Rycote, as it is only a little ish bit more than a RODE on B&H when comparing the prices listed on B&H.

But then I saw the RODE being sold on eBay for significantly less than at B&H, and that just made the RODE/Rycote price gap too big to ignore, so I ended up going with the RODE blimp:

That is a great price. Anybody know of any places like this that ship to the US?

They might ship to the US. I send them the question and I'll post when I get a reply.

I bought the rode with rycote lyre system as well when I was worried about cost. Was using it with the at897 and I was really impressed with the way it sounded. And as well with the blimp removed. It's a nice system it may not be a rycote but it's not bad. I've since upgraded to the 416 but I still kept the rode blimp.

THey said they won't ship this item to the US.

Some of the Rode's on eBay are fakes, yeah?

Nope. Not that I'd ever heard about. And certainly not a blimp!!

I have a Record softie and it doesn't cut the wind noise much at all. Sennheiser ME 67.
