Mic recommendation
Hello all
What high quality external shotgun microphone with a unidirectional pickup pattern that would eliminate any noise the camera operator produces, would you recommend. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Regards Dennis Kane |
Dennis - I would think an Audio Technica AT4073 would be a good choice.
But shotguns do generally have a 'tail' so i don't think any shotgun will completely eliminate rear-facing sound. Polar patterns vary a bit so maybe others on the board know of a particular model that has a very small 'tail'. |

Your best bet is to get the mic off the camera if possible, otherwise a shockmount from RODE, Sennheiser, Rycote or KTEK will help isolate the mic. Stu recommends a great mic, the AT4073. I think it's a winner if your budget is $500+ and you can provide phantom power to the mic. It is one of my favs. For less than $500 the RODE NTG-2 would be my pick. Here's a few samples of the two http://dvestore.com/theatre/mics_guide.html |
Another mount that works great is the AT 8415. Thats what we use and when aquiring audio manually, we honestly do not get any camera noise but as soon as you go to auto for aquiring audio, you will here a slight hum from the camera. Manual all the way with this mount is very ggod.
