The DigitalFoto MICOLIVE-SE is a complete blimp windshield and shockmount system designed to keep shotgun microphone recordings clear in challenging conditions. By combining effective wind shielding with internal shock isolation, it helps reduce unwanted noise from wind, handling, and vibration. Designed to fit popular RØDE models including NTG1, NTG2, NTG3, NTG4 and NTG4+, the system also accommodates most shotgun microphones up to 12.75 inches in length. An integrated XLR cable within the handle reduces cable movement noise, keeping your audio signal stable during use. The MICOLIVE-SE mounts directly onto a standard boompole via a 3/8″-16 thread, making it a practical solution for location sound work. Who this is for Sound recordists, filmmakers, and content creators working outdoors or on location who need dependable wind protection and vibration isolation for shotgun microphones. At a glance Blimp windshield reduces wind noise outdoors Internal shockmount minimises handling and vibration noise Compatible with RØDE NTG1, NTG2, NTG3, NTG4 and NTG4+ Fits shotgun microphones up to 12.75″ (491 mm) Integrated 3-pin XLR cable for reduced cable noise Standard 3/8″-16 mounting for boompoles Includes furry windscreen for stronger wind conditions How it works The blimp enclosure surrounds the microphone, creating a barrier that reduces direct wind impact on the capsule. For higher wind conditions, the included furry windscreen adds an extra layer of diffusion to further minimise wind noise. Inside the blimp, a shockmount suspends the microphone, isolating it from vibrations caused by handling or movement. The integrated XLR cable runs through the handle, reducing cable sway and the noise it can introduce. Why choose this system This is a practical all-in-one solution for location audio. Instead of assembling separate wind protection and mounting components, the MICOLIVE-SE provides a ready-to-use setup that improves recording consistency in outdoor environments. The integrated cabling and standard mounting make it easy to deploy quickly on set. Ideal uses Outdoor interviews and dialogue recording Film and documentary production Boom operation in windy environments Run-and-gun shooting setups
