The BBG Windshield is a low-profile ball-type wind diffuser for cylindrical microphones. The BBG Windshield is made of the same materials as the standard windshield and is fitted with a grommet that grips the microphone body. The microphone is pushed through the grommet, completely enclosing the mic capsule within the windshield.
If you accidentally sit on this thing or crunch it in a backpack... that's it be prepared to fork out another $145 USD. Disgusting pricing from Rycote. This is daylight robbery.
Used this last weekend on a short film paired with an Oktava MK-012 and have to say, the BBG performed absolutely beautifully! Seriously, the Oktava is a remarkable microphone that's plague with handling and movement sensitivity but this BBG helped eliminate any and all wind on it. Used it with a Rycote Inv-HG MK-III and boy, it was a match made in heaven. Definitely worth every penny!
