Rycote Modular Windshield Kit Reviews

great small blimp for M/S or ORTF setup

By Christopher
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-03-12

I purchased this blimp to have a smaller, affordable blimp to use with my ORTF setup (2x Rycote CA-08) and for my Mid/Side setup (Rycote BD-10, Sennheiser MKH 8050). This small blimp fits either of those set ups (with a little finagling) well. And it is small enough to be easy to pack in a suitcase for travel.

Great product

Can this accomodate a Sanken CS-M1?

Can this accomodate a Sanken CS-M1?
Asked by: William
No. The Rycote WS 9 Modular Windshield Kit is not compatible for use with the Sanken CS-M1 Ultracompact Shotgun Microphone. The WS 9 Windshield is intended for use with microphones that are up to 3.9" long and the CS-M1 is just over that at 4.06" long. As a compatible option, you can use the Rycote Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL (B&H # RYMWS1MZLKIT) which is intended for use with microphones that are 2.8 to 4.7" (71 to 120mm) long.

I would be using this with a single Sennheiser 8040 microphone, and was wondering whether the suspension actually uses bands, as shown in the picture, or whether it uses a modern Rycote lyre?
Asked by: Isaac
The Rycote WS 9 Modular Windshield Kit for Sennheiser MKH8020, 8040 and 8050 Mic uses the Rycote lyre suspension system to hold the microphone in place.

Will the 4017b fit in here?
Asked by: James
The Rycote Windshield Kit 2 would not be recommended for the DPA 4017b, as it will be slightly too short. The Rycote Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics (Medium) (BH #RYSSKM) would be recommended instead.
