Rycote Baseball Compact Windshield Indoor and Outdoor with Windjammer Combo
This ingenious little 3” windscreen has been designed for interior boom pole use, greatly reducing unwanted ’swooshes’ during fast swings and other rapid movements.
The Baseball is available in three versions: a ’19/20mm’, ’21/22mm’ and a ’24/25mm’. All three versions have the same exterior dimensions, but come with different internal bore diameters to fit a variety of industry-standard microphones.
Incredibly lightweight (just 17g) and offering significantly increased performance over conventional foam windscreens, the Baseball is ideal for fast/deep booming and plosive reduction. It also helps to protect your mic.

Rycote Baseball Windjammer for Baseball Compact Windshield
The Baseball Windjammer® is an incredibly useful little add-on product for the Baseball, allowing for even faster/deeper boom swings indoors. Importantly, with the Windjammer fitted, the Baseball can now also be used outdoors in light winds.
The Baseball Windjammer comes in one size, which fits all our Baseball variants, i.e. 19/20mm, 21/22mm and 24/25mm. Weighing just 15g*, the Baseball Windjammer adds very little extra size or weight when fitted to the Baseball.
Adding a Baseball Windjammer to the Baseball brings a very useful extra 10dB of wind noise attenuation, across the spectrum. So, the performance of the Baseball with the Windjammer fitted is -40dB wind noise attenuation, across the frequency spectrum.
You can buy the Baseball Windjammer on its own, or as a ‘Combo’ pack with the Baseball of your choice.
