I was considerably surprised with the MOVO shotgun microphone blimp! It has better features, more goodies, and handles better than the RØDE blimp. More so, the MOVO blimp is $99 whereas the Rodde Blimp is $269!
If you need a quality shotgun mic blimp for windy conditions, this is $99 WELL WORTH spending your money on, and highly recommended. As I said in the video, the shock mount system included with the MOVO blimp alone is well worth the $99 - I figure they threw in the blimp for free. :)

When I bought my Rode kit about 5 years ago, they offered a redesigned skeleton handle that allows for changing the XLR patch cable if it failed. I had my Rode blimp kit in hand as I watched your review to allow me to directly compare it with the version of the Rode you have and the Movo. Also, mine slides fore & aft along the rail easily, but it was stiff in the slot at first, and I thought it didn't move, even though it's designed to, until I went ahead and made it move for the first time, and it has slid easily when unlocked ever since. Mine also came with Rycote "Lyre" mic shock mounts with molded hard rubber/soft plastic mic hangers instead of rubber bands. The closed-handle version had mixed reviews back then, so I made sure to buy the one with the redesigned handle. The angle adjustment has minor slippage in the handle I have, but you have to apply more than casual force to make it move, and I have never had an issue with it moving while being used. I do like the Movo's addition of a third shock mount for the XLR plug, and I like the thumbwheels for adusting the shock mounts. For almost 1/3 the price of the Rode (B&H lists the Movo at $99), that Movo blimp kit is a bargain and a half. Good review!

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

@farfromhomepodcast Месяц назад

@@BasicFilmmaker Just wanted to follow up to say that based upon your recommendation, I ordered the Boya (Movo) zeppelin, and I was amazed when I unboxed it to see in person how enormous it is appeared to the old PSC Windboss zeppelin that I've been using up to this point. I think it's almost twice the size! Now sure if having a larger air barrier around the mic does a better job cutting down on wind noise, but I do a lot of international travel, and finding space for everything in my luggage is always a challenge, so I unfortunately don't think this is practical for my purposes, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to return it. Don't think I want to splurge on the overpriced Rode, but I'm looking into some other potential options I see on Amazon. Thanks anyway, though.

@Sutterjack 8 месяцев назад

Great review thanks - I own two Rode blimps - one with the old style rubber band suspension and one with the newer "cradle" type suspension. Overall both very good for the points you make. I've been eyeing the Movo blimp just because I know the quality of their products (bought their windshields for Zoom H6 and DSLR suspension unit). You've sold me that it's not to good to be true - just so cheap I doubted it's quality -

@frankfarago2825 3 года назад

Wow, so the Rode Blimp looks truly great. There are only 19 things fatally wrong with it! Not too shabby, really.

@BorsukenSlayer 4 года назад

Great video, however I think you have an older version of the Røde blimp becuse my one is more flexibel and has a very good implementation of the mic attachment, otherwise I do agree with you're review secondly I could not find the Movo on sale anywere here in Sweden or in Europa. Having a blimp has been a huge inpact on my sound quality, actually the tool that affected the sound quality the most when recording outdoors. Keep up the good work.

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

Updated description and added Sweden and EU links. Thanks!

@JoeMustang99 4 года назад

This comment is a little late but I didn't get my Movo blimp kit until a few days ago. Tested it today in 14 mph wind. Works great with the wombat installed, using a Deity SMic2. I recorded audio with a Tascam DR-10L and its microphone with a tiny dead kitten and with a Rode Wireless Go with the Rode supplied dead kitten on the transmitter internal mic. All three work great. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Wireless Go and the DR-10L work with their respective dead kittens installed, compared to the SMic2 in the big blimp+wombat. I use the DR-10L and Rode Wireless Go most of the time shooting solo outdoors, and have been happy with the results. Using a shotgun in a blimp on a pole is something I will eventually need to do, and I am confident I have what I need now. No way one can use the SMic2 bare outside in the wind, never. Tried it today. HAVE to have the blimp and wombat with any wind at all.

@JoeMustang99 4 года назад

A little clarification to the comment above. The blimped SMic2 was recorded on Channel 1 of a MixPre 3 and the Rode Wireless Go was recorded on Channel 3. The DR-10L was used for a standalone, separate recording, independent of the SMic2 and Wireless Go. I recorded the SMic2 first bare with no blimp shell, then with the blimp shell, then with the shell plus wombat. Bare, the audio was not useful, the wind completely overwhelmed voice. There was some wind noise with the shell alone, but the audio was usable. Audio was really good with nearly no wind noise with the shell plus wombat, regardless of orientation of the mic relative to the wind direction.

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

That’s for sure. Getting quality sound outdoors with higher winds, you gotta have a blimp in my opinion, and I’m very pleased with my Movo blimp.

I have an original Rode VideoMic without a blimp but with the included small dead cat. It is a dog magnet at the dog park, where the dogs will attack the dead cat thinking it is an animal. I eventually had to replace the Rode dead cat and I bought a Movo for that. It functions better than the Rode version...but still attracts dogs. The Rode version was not very effective out doors in the wind. Later versions from Rode with lower attack count may work better.

No clue what was tested with what in the room with the brick wall. Seems like Kevin did not know this, either. No need to use a foam slip over the mic and put it in a Zeppelin and then use a dead wombat on top of it. I like using a Zep all the time, indoors and out. It is a great physical protection for your shotgun mic. The dead wombat you need outdoors only in high wind, or indoors with wind machine/AC/fans blasting at full powder.

Ditto from me to!

Some of it is because Røde and Rycote make their products at home in Australia and England, respectively, rather than having them put together by underpaid Asian children.

@@skakdosmer I'm looking around and haven't found anything to back up the above comment so far. It's confusing to say the least. Assume its a troll, perhaps?

@skakdosmer Год назад

The Movo didn't do too well in the wind test, I think. B.t.w., the Røde Blimp is out in newer, much improved version 2 now.

It was 2014 when Rode released their updated blimp... It has now been 7 years without a refresh... 7! I feel like any day now Rode is gonna upload a new video of an updated blimp but... Still waiting...

@BasicFilmmaker 3 года назад

That would be nice.

@BBWinner48 4 года назад

well, I ordered this based on this review, I have seen other reviews that show the MOVO pivot mechanism is plastic and breaking, hope mine comes as metal, and that the one you reviewed is an upgrade. if you scroll down on the amazon page and see Ben Murrys photo of the broken piece.. hope mine is metal.. Thanx..

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

I’ll check that review out. Thanks. It seems metal to mr, or darn good plastic. Don’t see it breaking anytime soon.

@BBWinner48 4 года назад

well it arrives sunday, maybe a little more thorough on yur reviews.. if its plastic, Ive lost faith on RU-vid reviews and believing all internet info is false..if u cant tell plastic from metal , then maybe a little more education..really like your vids, tomorrow will tell "Hillary"...LOL

@BBWinner48 4 года назад

did you scroll to see th review from Ben Murry?

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

Pretty dramatic difference on the vent.

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

Yes, really makes a difference for this that need it. Now, I’m just waiting for the wind to kick my butt after waiting for it for 2 months. 😁

The MOVO cuts out a lot of the high end of the voice out. :( Dealbreaker.

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

High frequencies are attenuated with any blimp. Any blimp that doesn't, won't cut the wind. It's always Better to lose a bit on the high end than to get low-end rumble and overmodulation of wind on a bare mic. Also, the Rode NTG3 already has quite a low end, and using a mic that has a spicier high end works well too.

What's the construction quality like? Going to need to see you driving over it and putting it down the toilet.

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

LOL! It might survive the toilet. Driving over it would be it’s end. 😁

How we can change the XLR cable if for some reason doesn't work?

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

Like any broken XLR cable, you would replace the jack on either end.

Your Rode blimp is nothing like mine. Where did you get that - it's much much crappier than the one I have. Mine has Rycote stabilizers and other vastly superior features. Are you aware that there's a different Rode blimp than what you have here??

@BasicFilmmaker 4 года назад

True that Mike. It's an older model, a few years back, so I updated the video description to reflect that and the links. Thanks!

@mlentsch 4 года назад

@@BasicFilmmaker I thought mine was the only version. I see now... glad I didn't get the first version when I got mine a few years back... tbh, these blimp designs are considered obsolete, anyway if you own one of those new rycote cyclone dealy-bobs... they have setups for like stereo and m/s if you have the schoeps or senny mkh new smaller mics... I have none of that stuff, of course.
