Blimp Wind Protection for Shotgun Microphones
The Movo BWS1000 is a blimp-style wind and vibration protection system built for shotgun microphones up to 15 inches long. It integrates a 12-point internal shockmount, an XLR cable, a furry deadcat windscreen and a rubberised grip handle with 1/4 and 3/8 inch threads for boom pole or tripod mounting. The metal enclosure measures 14.33 by 12.83 by 9.06 inches and weighs 3.1 pounds.
Suits field recordists needing maximum wind
This system targets videographers, interview crews and run-and-gun operators who require up to 40 dB of additional wind-noise reduction and secure shock isolation for compatible shotguns such as the Rode NTG series, Sennheiser MKH-416 or Audio-Technica AT875R. It is not for users who need a compact on-camera windshield, builders requiring phantom power distribution or anyone recording with microphones longer than 15 inches.
Verify microphone length
Confirm your shotgun microphone does not exceed 15 inches (38 cm) in length to fit inside the blimp capsule. Check that your boom pole or tripod accepts either 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch threads for the integrated handle. Ensure your recorder or camera provides a standard XLR input for the pre-wired cable and that the 600 ohm impedance matches your signal chain requirements.

Questions about this item
What length of shotgun microphone fits inside the 15-inch blimp capsule?
The blimp accepts most shotgun microphones up to 15 inches (38 cm) long, including models such as the Rode NTG series, Sennheiser MKH-416 and Audio-Technica AT875R.
Which boom poles or tripods can I attach using the handle threads?
The rubberised grip handle provides both 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch threads, so it mounts directly to standard boom poles such as the CMP-17 or CMP-17C and to tripod heads with the same thread sizes.
How do I verify the system is reducing wind and handling noise as intended after setup?
With the deadcat windscreen zipped over the blimp and the microphone seated in the 12-point shock mount, monitor the output — wind rumble and handling thumps should drop by up to 40 dB compared to an unprotected mic.
