AFAIK, the sound-absorbing/blocking cover for a camera is called
a "barney"? Google for "sound barney". This was the first hit...

(Reference to the old US comic-strip "Barney Google" is coincidental :-)
Although when I Googled for "sound blimp" it returns some hits.
But a very casual glance looks more like covers for still cameras
than for cine.
The shotgun microphone windscreens commonly used look like
miniature "blimps" (zeppelins, dirigibles) to me, at least without
the "softie"/"dead-cat" fur covers.
