Offering heavy-duty wind reduction in a small package, the Rycote BBG is a windshield intended for Neumann KM 184 interview microphones or mics of similarly short dimensions. It's designed to slip onto the body of the mic and sit around its head, allowing the user to hold the mic or place it in Lyre-suspended shockmounts. If you're conducting an outdoor interview with either a handheld or low-profile boom mic, this windshield makes a suitable choice.
The windshield is constructed of the same material as Rycote's full-sized modular windshields, but instead of clipping to a suspension mechanism, the BBG mounts on the head of the mic itself. The windshield sports a grommet that grips the mic. When mounted correctly, the BBG should enclose the capsule within its protective covering. This windshield provides 30 dB of attenuation.

Rycote BBG Reviews
Ryote excels

You can't go wrong with Rycote man, it just works. Rycote is who you go with when you want the piece of mind, they're the Kleenex of windprotection for a reason. Its well made and I trust it'll stay in perfect condition for years to come. I used it to do some recordings this weekend, it did just the right amount of attenuation for a light breeze outside, while maintaining transparency.
Works great

I got an AT8022 to record soundscapes. Naturally I needed some wind protection and decided to invest in Rycote, with an eye to possible upgrade my wind protection for a shotgun mic I also use. I haven’t used the item on its own - only with the additional fuzzy cover so I can’t review the effectiveness of this item alone. However, it fits snugly on the at8022. It’s also bigger than you think it is but it makes sense once fitted. It isn’t super solid but that helps keep the weight low and we should be treating our equipment with care, anyway, so I don’t see this as a problem.

question
Will this end cap fit on the Rycote Windshield #4? They don't sell the individual replacement caps so I'm looking for a cheaper option.
The Rycote Baby Ball Gag Windshield will not work as replacement end cap for the Rycote windshield kit #4. You will require Rycote MFR # 018501. It is a replacement part (Mono Modular Windshield End Cap) sold at cost through their parts store.

question
Is it suitable for a tetramic?
This windshield has a diameter that is too large for the Tetramic. We do carry a model made specifically for the mic, which is the Rycote Modular Windshield TetraMic Kit, B&H # RY086047.

It van be attached to a Sony MS2 Microphone?
It van be attached to a Sony MS2 Microphone?
This Rycote Baby Ball Gag is designed to fit microphones with a shank diameter of 25mm. The Sony ECM-MS2 microphone has a 24mm diameter and it is 137mm long. The length is similar to the Sennheiser mics that are compatible, so it may work for the ECM-MS2. You may need to add another grommet or a little bit of padding for a tighter fit around the mic since the ECM-MS2 is 1mm thinner. We have not tested the Rycote BBG Windshield with the Sony mic to confirm that it will fit, but based on the dimensions, it may work.
