Rycote Nano Shield Windshield Kit NS5-DC for Microphones up to 28.5cm Long

The Rycote 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.

Each kit comes ready-to-use and complete with: two magnet lock windshield basket halves with gray wind socks, Windjammer® fur, “no tools needed” mic mounting bar with pair of Nano Shield Lyre® mounts, extra pair of Nano Shield Lyre® mounts, PCS swivel arm with friction brake, interchangeable 3/8” thread mount for swivel arm (for non-PCS usage on booms or stands), PCS ergonomic handle, low-profile XLR cable with built-in RF filter and switchable 80Hz low-cut, 360-adjustable and reversible XLR holder, extra pair of black wind socks and protective case.

Highly advantageous for boom operators, sound designers, and location recordists, the Nano Shield NS5-DC is a complete windshield and suspension setup with indoor and outdoor wind protection, a low-profile XLR cable with a built-in RF filter and a switchable low-cut filter, and more. Not only does the NS5-DC model fit shotgun-style microphones up to 29cm / 11.2" long, but its mix-and-match basket design allows it to accommodate many other mic sizes by swapping optional basket halves.

The Nano Shield kits use a special magnetic locking basket design, which can be configured to fit various microphone sizes by simply swapping out basket halves. Each size of basket half can interlock with any other size. They also have two manual locking sliders to hold everything secure and noise free. Quickly and easily access mics by simply pulling the halves apart.

No tools required - The Lyre mounts and mounting bar on the Nano Shield can be adjusted, repositioned, or swapped out by loosening/tightening the thumbwheel attached to the bar. Likewise, the swivel arm can be repositioned by loosening the friction braking wheel with interchangeable adapters for an integrated PCS tip or 3/8" thread.
