Rycote Nano-Shield Kit

The Nano-Shield is Rycote’s lightest, smallest and most advanced windshield kit yet. The Nano-Shield has been designed to provide excellent wind protection and acoustic transparency for capturing clean audio. The entire kit incorporates many patented designs including improved Lyre shock mounts which are more compliant for lighter microphones and a mounting bar / swivel arm that requires no tools to make adjustments or replace Lyre mounts. The Nano-Shield kits are also extremely versatile with interchangeable basket halves that allow you to change the size of the blimps by swapping out baskets without the need to buy an entire new kit.
