Bubblebee Aero Pro

The basket comes off with the microphone inside and leaves the pole and any transmitter rigged. Put on a second basket with a different mic, and a last-minute change of pickup pattern becomes a quick twist instead of unscrewing and screwing.

The same joint splits the cable, so cable noise doesn't travel to the mic. Pogo pins carry the audio signal, and a rubber absorber takes out handling noise from the boom or stand.

The suspension holds the mic in rubber holders adapted for different microphone diameters, colour-coded for different hoop stiffness. They sit on a carbon-fibre rail that makes it easy to adjust where each hoop sits, so every microphone can be balanced perfectly.

Wind on a boom usually arrives from the side, where the diaphragm needs protecting. So the cage is wide and low, shaped for better aerodynamics and better wind protection.

In strong wind the low profile gives a smoother airflow over the blimp, and it packs away easily.

Every Aero Pro comes with a spacer fabric cover and our signature fur wind jacket for maximum wind protection.

Fur is how Bubblebee began. Before a documentary job on a boat, Poul bought every kind of fur the shop had and spent the downtime on deck building and testing. By the end of the trip, the first Windbubble was settled.

Three sizes for shotgun mics up to 28 cm long: XS for mics up to 8 cm, S up to 18 cm and M up to 28 cm.

The XS keeps small capsules well protected in a rig that draws less attention.

We have designed the parts so that they are easy to adjust and interchange in the field. Any upgrades or replacements of separate parts can be done swiftly and with the help of our extensive network of dealers and distributors, hassle-free.

It splits up for big jobs too. On a football broadcast with 10 or more pitch-side mics, the delicate, expensive parts can travel in one case and the stands in another.
