Only about a week after registering on the web site. The credit card $1 payment was processed about two days before it arrived via courier.
Bear in mind that I am in Australia. The supplies and fulfillment in your country may be slightly different in their setup. How long have you been waiting? Andrew |

Ah, I forgot to check to see where you were haha. I'm in California, so I'm expecting it to take a bit. I submitted my request for the blimp about a week ago, payment for $0.89 USD was processed Christmas Eve, so I'm in no real rush... was just curious how long they're taking to get to the states. Rode says to expect delivery times to be 6-12 weeks, but I'm sure they'll deliver early ;)
Enjoy!! |

I have nothing but sheer admiration for Rode. I use the blimp quite a lot, and to be honest, it is bloody brilliant at what it does; reduce wind noise.
Even though I paid full retail for mine, it is worth its weight in solid platinum. I shoot ENG, and if its too windy for a radio lav, then its the Rode shotty, in the blimp wearing the wombat... Once I get back to the studio I will dig up a pic of a comparison I made on the timelines so you can see how effective it is, even under 40 knot winds. The boys and girls at Rode are truely in touch with mic users. My ONLY crit of the blimp is the little clip used to make an airtight seal around the tail cable going into the Blimp proper, comes loose. Superglue fixed that. If you do not have a Blimp. Then you should get one. Ben |

The ntg3 can be found for ~549 in the U.S. $699 is the MAP. Since I was going to buy a blimp anyways, it's a "no brainer" for me. Rode even treats it's customers like people by providing an online form to get the blimp. |
