Topic: Audio-Technica BP4025 and Rycote BBG Basket Windshield

[gihl]

The BP4025 does just fit into a Rycote BBG, but it's easy to press the body too far into the ball so that the head just touches the internal mesh with the obvious consequences!  Personally,  I find the supplied foam plus additional fur sock (AT BPF-2) a more practical compromise and, with a gloved and steady hand, noise-free recordings can be made.  The whole mic can then be stuffed in a jacket pocket when you're done.  But I live on a very windy island, and invariably find that a full windshield kit is a better solution, for which my (original) Rode blimp gets pressed into service.  So it becomes a fairly bulky solution, but less so than my spaced omni setup in two full windshields plus mounting bar & tripod...

I recently purchased an Audio-Technica BP4025 microphone.
I tried to fit it on a 21mm Rycote BBG Basket Windshield, but it was too tight. The microphone head touches the internal mesh.

I read this while looking for another solution.
I'm going to buy an Audio-Technica BPF-2 Universal Windshield soon and put it into the supplied foam windscreen(AT8172).

Anyway, I would like you to let me know if there is another Windshield that can replace BPF-2.
Also, I wonder if there is a replacement for the AT8172 foam windscreen.

Thanks.

I took out the rubber grommet that was inserted into the BBG and cut off the inner part about 5mm.
Now, BP4025 fits comfortably.
