Did you make any progress with this project?

 

Whilst I can understand why it may seem a crazy one to most Leica shooters, for those of us who work on film sets, this is a very interesting idea. Albeit a niche one. I have occasionally searched the web for any sound blimp solutions for a Leica M9 - which is how I came across this thread today. One can only shoot on set stills for film or tv with a completely silenced camera - and no film or digital Leica comes anywhere close to being sufficiently silent.

 

Sorry, I stopped the project due to lack of time.

But the Ricoh GXR with EVF and A12 Mount M with electronic shutter mode really works well and does not make ANY sound. It is even more silent than the best blimp I've heard. But you have to be careful because of rolling shutter effects (vibration with tele or fast moving objects). The Panasonic G5 / G3H could also become alternatives for tele photos if Panasonic will implement zebraing or focus peaking.
