Radius Mini-ALTO Overview

The Radius Mini-ALTO 280 Blimp Windshield with RAD-2 Kit and PG Handle is a compact, full-coverage blimp windshield system designed for location sound professionals who need lightweight, reliable wind protection, and superior shock isolation in a portable format. This complete kit includes the award-winning RAD-2 shockmount, PG pistol grip handle, and Radius’s innovative magnetic Mini-ALTO pod-style windshield with removable black multi-pile fur cover.

Fast Setup, Exceptional Performance
Engineered for quick setup in the field, the two-part magnetic pod design allows the windshield to be fitted or removed in seconds, while maintaining outstanding wind noise reduction—up to -40 dB with the included fur cover. The RAD-2 mount provides excellent isolation from handling noise, and comes with interchangeable hoop suspensions to accommodate a range of microphone weights and sensitivities.
Slightly Longer, Same Pro Results
With a slim 85mm diameter, the Mini-ALTO 280 offers the same full-coverage zeppelin-style design as the 250, but with additional internal length to accommodate longer shotgun microphones. This version of the kit includes all accessories except an XLR cable and is ideal for users who prefer to use their own cabling.

Asked by: Francis
You would want to use something more like the Radius Mini Alto 300 (BH #RAMIN02753), because the Radius Mini-ALTO 180 Blimp Windshield & RAD Mount Kit (No Cable, Black) is made to accommodate shotgun microphones that are shorter in length.
