Thanks Shahryar. Sorry to hear about the fire, but good you are safe :)

a)Does anyone know if RODE blimp can be mounted on a camera, at least for using the shockmount. it says it has a 3/8" thread for boom pole. It doesn't mention male or female. Anyone know which type it is?

b)Also The K-tek 110CCR has a male 3/8" thread, right?

c I was planning to get some shoe to 3/8" adaptor for mounting the shockmount on the camera. So Should I be getting

Audio-Technica | AT8469 Camera Shoe Mount to | AT8469 | B&H (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/68160-REG/Audio_Technica_AT8469_AT8469_Camera_Shoe_Mount.html)

or

?

Hi Shahryar, that's terrible news, but everyone's Ok, the good news.

Srinivas, no the RODE Blimp can't be camera mounted, way too big. Female 3/8" thread.

Most booms have a male thread for the mics shock mount female thread, you might need an adaptor for some tho.

Cheers.

Sorry for the late responses, but thanks for both of your comments to the fire. Yep, everyone's ok and that's what's important. I'll be rebuying my new cameras once the settlement works out (both my XH A1 and HC1 were damaged in the fire).

Allan - you especially helped me a lot with what to buy and I do have my AT-822 - two now actually so when I get my next camera, I may be running some things by you again if you don't mind helping out. And I also have my brand new K-tek KE-110CCR Avalon Series Aluminum Boompole which K-tek provided me with for free when I sent them my fire damaged boom pole.
