The BOYA BY-WS1000 Windshield and Suspension System is a professional-grade blimp and shockmount solution engineered for boom operators, sound recordists, and videographers who demand pristine audio in challenging environments. Accommodating shotgun microphones up to 15 inches long and between 19–22mm in diameter, it fits industry favorites like the Rode NTG series, Sennheiser MKH 416, and Audio-Technica AT897 straight out of the box.
Built around a rigid blimp capsule, a 12-point rubber suspension shockmount, and an integrated internal XLR cable, the BY-WS1000 isolates your microphone from handling noise and mechanical vibration while the included zippered dead cat furry windshield delivers up to 40 dB of additional wind noise attenuation — keeping dialogue crystal clear on outdoor film sets, ENG shoots, and field productions.
