Rycote Super-Shield Overview

From Manufacturer

The small Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics from Rycote is a complete windshield and shock mounting system for shotgun microphones up to 20cm in length. The kit contains the Super-Shield Suspension which provides your microphone isolation from shocks and vibrations, the Super-Shield Windshield which provides wind-noise reduction with minimal high-frequency loss, and the Windjammer, a high-quality synthetic fur cover which provides protection against extreme wind noise.

The Super-Shield Suspension features patented Lyre technology, which provides your microphone isolation from shocks and vibrations without the use of rubbers or elastic. The chassis fits microphones 19mm (3/4") to 25mm (1") in diameter, using two snap-in, pinch-release Lyre suspensions that can be used in any of six positions to achieve the optimal balance and fit. The suspension comes with an 18" (450mm) high flexibility microphone cable.

Made up of two lightweight, durable baskets made from flexible grey plastic netting with a screening material attached, the Super-Shield Windshield connects to the Super-Shield Suspension. The windshield completely surrounds and creates a still volume of air around the microphone, which is designed to provide wind-noise reduction, with minimal high-frequency loss.

The Super-Shield Windjammer is a synthetic fur cover which provides another layer of protection to be used to combat extreme wind noise. Like the Super-Shield Windshield, it is designed to protect from wind without substantial high-frequency loss.

Rycote Super-Shield Reviews

No more wind rumble

By John
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-29

Easily fits my shot gun mic (DEITY V-Mic D-3 Pro) The path for the cable works fine for the thin 3.5mm TRRS cable my mic needs, but might be too tight with a standard XLR cable. Opens and closes easily, the furry wind sock "dead cat" works great, slips over it fairly easily, prevents low end wind rumble without blocking too much high end. Quite a large blimp, fits into my standard sized back pack.

Light and easy to use

Glad I picked this up over the Rode Blimp. The twist-turn mechanism for removing the capsules make this super easy and quick to use. Well built and nice and light.

question

Would this be the correct model for the Sennheiser MKH 50?
Asked by: Robert
The Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics (Small) from Rycote will accommodate several mics including the MKH-50. Rycote also recommends the Modular Windshield WS 2 Kit for a more robust solution.

This windshield kit should be compatible with this version of the 4018, https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1050594-REG/dpa_microphones_4018a_full_size_super_cardioid.html. Any other version may be too small.

Hi Works with MKH 8060 +MZF 8000 filter? Thanks!!! Renzo
Asked by: Nicolas
No, The Rycote 010320 Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics (Small) is for shotgun microphones up to 200mm long and it will not be able to accommodate the Sennheiser MKH 8060 when combined with the Sennheiser MZF 8000. The MKH 8060 is 178mm long and the MZF 8000 is 29mm long, which is 207mm when used together. Instead of the small Rycote Super-Shield, you can use the Rycote 010321 Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics - Medium (B&H # RYSSKM) which accommodates mics that are 200 to 250mm long.

Is there any way to switch out the cable to use with a mid-side mic like the Sanken CMS-50? Do you sell such a cable?
Asked by: Christopher
Yes, you can replace the cable that is included with the Rycote 010320 Super-Shield Kit for Shotgun Mics (Small). The Sanken CMS-50 Short M-S Stereo Shotgun Microphone has a 5-pin XLR output connector which requires a Y-cable that splits to two 3-pin XLR male connectors like the Sanken SC-532 5-Pin XLR Female to Dual 3-Pin XLR Male Adapter Y-Cable - 1' (B&H # SASC532), the Remote Audio 5-Pin Stereo XLR Female to Dual XLR Male Y-Cable - 18" (B&H # RECAXSTE), or the Sennheiser ACS5 5-pin XLR Female to Dual XLR Male Y Cable for MKH418S and MKE44P Microphones -6" (B&H # SEACS5). You can also make a custom cable yourself or have one made for you with the appropriate connector to fit the windshield and pistol grip.

I would like to remove the handle from this and ...

I would like to remove the handle from this and mount it to a camera cage with a 3/8-16 or 1/4-20 screw. Would that be feasible by threading it through the hole the handle clamp screws through?
Asked by: Aaron
I purchased a used Rycote S-series blimp which is the predecessor to this model and uses the same handle mounting method. The thin metal plate the handle mounts to has 7 holes in it. The middle hole which the handle bolt go through is too small for a 1/4-20 thread, but the outer 6 holes are loose on a 1/4-20 thread and can be used to bolt this onto a cage or any other 1/4-20 accessory mount with a 1/4-20 nut. This allows for low profile mounting to a camera cage exactly as I had hoped.
