Mark LeBlanc Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Just wrapped first day with the new Rycote Super-Sheild zepplin. I've used the original Rycote "S" zep since it's release and can confirm the Pods from the two systems are cross comparable. Night went well. Boom op liked it. Construction of the pods feel sturdier than the full zep kit. We used it without the fur and held up well in a light breeze. Get to try it in an open feild tonight and winds are expected to be brisk. So, day one eval is very positive. Well built, balance point changed a bit which boomy liked. I purchased the medium kit for 416 and was pleased on a few scenes that he had to swing it, no noticeable noise transferred to the mic so suspension worked on par with the S series. Hoping the new pods are available separately soon to upgrade my original... Solid so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdutaillis Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thanks for the mini review! My windshield kit is getting a bit rough around the edges so was thinking of getting a new one when these were announced. Keen to hear more about the differences, pros/cons, etc. before I decide and update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
