Peter,
I think you'll appreciate the Rode Blimp more with the NT4 than with the ME=
66, mostly because the Blimp is heavier than most zeppelins. The NT4 fits q=
uite well inside the Blimp, and the "Dead Wombat" cover helps... They're bo=
th well made.
I also found that a slip-on windscreen, like the Rode WS7 or the Rycote Sof=
tie, worked quite well with shotgun mics like the ME66.
