    Hi everybody,

    I’m working in a set for many days recording sounds with a mic+blimp. For good maintenance I pack away mic and blimp in their boxes every evening, and take them out every morning, but this practice requires time and slows down the work.

    Is a good idea, in your opinion, to let the mic in its blimp over a tripod simply covering the blimp with a plastic bag (to avoid dust)? Or do you recommend to pack away everything for good maintenance?

    Thanks a lot.

    Leave the mic setup in the blimp as long as it’s safe from damage or sticky fingers.
