Umashankar,

They have a number of web based shop presences.

Here's one link :
http://www.thecinecity.com/product.php?productid=3D16217&cat=3D0&page=3D1

Here is their eBay shop
http://stores.ebay.com.au/Digital-Video-Product

Note : they have two or three different sized "Blimps" - One is called
"Long Blimp" the other is just "Blimp"

Cheers
Rally

PS - I am not affiliated with them - just a satisfied customer as of
today.
