I have an Oktava MC012 that I am quite happy with. Wondering where I could purchase this device along with the windjammer. Also can it still work with the existing mic-clip that came with the mic ( not enough funds for a shockmount). thanks

I'm not familiar with this specific Rycote gizzy. But this might be (http://www.trewaudio.com/catalog/netcat.htm) a good place to look.

That's awfully nice of Coffey to price the Baby Ball Gag $10 over list.

B&H will get it for you just call them. I own two of the 20mm models and use them on my oktavas. They work well. Last time i spoke with them they were $120, the Redding Audio site is showing $125. They are the distributor and publish list prices.

Yes the mic clip will still work but you may want a loop of cable to help balance the weight of the Ball Gag

Thanks much for all the info. If BH does carry it (not listed) it will suit me since I am getting some other stuff there. I guess the $120 price does not include the windjammer (another 60?).

Rycote isn't discounted that much anywhere. If B&H hadn't said they could get the BBG I wouldn't have posted it. It's a special order item but it is anywhere.

If you buy your stuff all together you save on shipping big time
