The Micolive Microphone Blimp Windshield is a suspension and wind protection system designed for shotgun microphones used in film, broadcast, and field recording. It combines a rigid blimp cage, internal shock mounting, and a dead wombat windshield to reduce wind and handling noise while keeping the microphone isolated during operation.
Built to support professional shotgun microphones up to 325 mm in length and 19–22 mm in diameter, it is compatible with popular models including Rode NTG series, Sennheiser MKH 416, and Audio-Technica AT875R. The design focuses on reducing vibration transfer through a lightweight handle with internal cabling and a durable suspension structure.
Who this is for
Ideal for sound recordists, filmmakers, content creators, and broadcast teams who need reliable wind reduction and microphone isolation when working on boom poles or handheld setups in outdoor or uncontrolled environments.

How it works / component breakdown
The microphone sits within a suspended internal cradle that isolates it from movement and handling vibration. The outer blimp cage protects against air movement, while the included dead wombat windscreen further reduces wind noise during outdoor recording.
The handle integrates internal cabling that runs through the grip to reduce cable movement noise. A 3/8" thread at the base allows secure mounting onto standard boom poles.
Why choose this product or kit
This system is designed to improve audio clarity in challenging environments by reducing both wind interference and physical handling noise. The integrated suspension design helps maintain consistent mic positioning, while the lightweight construction reduces fatigue during long shoots. The included wind cover and internal cabling make it a practical all-in-one solution for location recording.
