I'm going to call Rode this afternoon and ask if I need the blimp in order to
use the dead kitten or if I can just stick the dead kitten directly on the mic
somehow. What do you think I should get?
I have used in the past a simple tripod with the mic mount that came with the
NT4. I never seemed to have any problems with that, but I guess I could get a
Mic stand shock mount (http://www.rodemic.com/accessories/sm4)kl) if you
suggest it. It appears that the blimp has a shock mount built in so if I need
the blimp, I don't have to also buy a shock mount.
Did I miss anything?
Thanks!
