I'd like to know if anyone has experience and advice when using the Rode NT=
4 in a Rode Blimp besides "move slowly"? - I noticed the NT4 is excessively=
sensitive to vibration even when mounted in the blimp where the cable is r=
outed correctly, not touching the side cage of the blimp and the elastics a=
re installed holding the NT4, the blimp cage handles are closed tight, as p=
er the instructions.
The combination doesn't seem to work very well hand holding the blimp's han=
dle without excessive vibration pickup if the grip / hold is shifted. Swing=
ing the blimp around too fast will cause the capsules to thump around. On t=
he end of a boom pole the handling noise is also transmitted to the mic eve=
n if holding the foam grip.
Am I doing something very wrong or is the NT4 just a bad candiate for walka=
bout boom work? Im thinking of using it to collect some close sea / wave ma=
terial, but its looking more likely that a tripod will be needed providing =
the blimp itself isnt a vibration "monster".
I'd appreciate any thoughts on the subject of boom use. Perhaps a long worn=
out thread..
BR
Mike.
