Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. It van be attached to a Sony MS2 Microphone?

A: This Rycote Baby Ball Gag is designed to fit microphones with a shank diameter of 25mm. The Sony ECM-MS2 microphone has a 24mm diameter and it is 137mm long. The length is similar to the Sennheiser mics that are compatible, so it may work for the ECM-MS2. You may need to add another grommet or a little bit of padding for a tighter fit around the mic since the ECM-MS2 is 1mm thinner. We have not tested the Rycote BBG Windshield with the Sony mic to confirm that it will fit, but based on the dimensions, it may work.

Q: 2. would this be a good choice for using the sennheiser mkh8050 or neumann km 185 outdoors?

A: Yes, this windshield would be a good choice for this application. Please note that it is not designed to be fitted over the mic itself, but rather fitted over a Cyclone Windjammer such as BH #RYCWSKS.

Q: 4. Will this fit the Videomic Pro+ ?

A: No, this Rycote Mini Windjammer is intended for use with a different mic. For the VideoMic Pro+, you can use the Rycote Mini Windjammer for Rode VMP+ (B&H # RY055470) or Rode DeadCat VMPR+ Artificial Fur Windshield for VideoMic Pro Plus Microphone (B&H # RODEADCATVPP).

Q: 5. Will it be compatible with the Inv 7 Shock Mount?

A: The windshield is not designed to accommodate any part of a shock-mount at all. it fits just over the end of the microphone. The Rycote INV-7 InVision Microphone Suspension for Stand and Boompole Mounting will not interfere with using the Rycote Baby Ball Gag Windshield.

Q: 9. Which rycote fur windjammer will fit the Sennheiser MZW 60-1 Blimp Windscreen?

A: The Rycote and Sennheiser blimps are very similar but they are not identical. Part of the issue is where the pistol grips line up on the blimps, and of course the opening on the fur windjammers factor in the position of each pistol grip. There are no 100% guarantees Rycote and Sennheiser are interchangeable, but a Rycote equivalent t the MZW 60-1 would be the Windjammer #4 (B&H#RYWJ4).
