Rode Blimp Windscreen Stereo Microphone Holder

These holders are for supporting the Rode M5 mics at a 110 degree angle to each other within the Rode Blimp 2 windscreen. A standard XLR connector will not fit on the back of these mics in this configuration, you have to get creative and fabricate a low profile one like I show in the pictures.

To support the microphone within the rings, use a small zip-tie to fasten #17 size o-rings in a crossed pattern, as shown in the pictures. You can use different size o-rings or elastic too.

If you don't want to use the screws that came with the lyres, they are M3 x 16 mm flanged button head cap screws.

There are two files, one for right facing, and one for left facing.

Notes:

I used carbon fiber PLA for these because of the stresses on the rings. Your mileage may vary with different material. Nylon, and carbon fiber nylon are probably better suited since they are less brittle.
