Rode DeadWombat Artificial Fur Wind Shield for Blimp

The Dead Wombat is the artificial-fur wind cover that slips over the RODE Blimp cage to fight the roar of strong wind on location. Its long synthetic pile breaks up moving air before it reaches the microphone, cutting the low-frequency wind rumble that a foam screen alone cannot handle, while staying acoustically transparent so dialogue and detail pass through cleanly.

It is the same cover supplied with the Blimp, offered here as a spare or replacement for crews that shoot in demanding outdoor conditions. Fit it over the basket whenever gusts pick up, and comb the fur back into shape between takes for consistent performance.
