Hi Yung.
Have you thought about the Rode NTG - 1, I use this on my Z1 with a dead cat for more windy days and this sounds great.The only problem is if mounted on the Z1 the end of the dead cat comes through on the top right hand side of the picture, so you would need to mount it back a bit with some sort of extender mount which i'm looking into as i write.

So, back to square 1.
Why do you think you need a shotgun. Please provide a lot of details. Regards, Ty Ford |
In terms of details:
Will you be shooting both indoors and outdoors? Or will you be shooting outdoors only? Shotgun micrphones generally do not work well indoors but work well outdoors when there is nothing to cause the sound to be reflected back to the microphone. Supercardiod or Hypercardiod generally work well indoors and outdoors. |

There is a Shotgun Shock Mount for the Z1U that will help push the mic up higher. It's called the RODE SM5.
It's also threaded for 3/8" and 1/4"-20 if you ever wanted to use it at the end of a boom pole. http://dvcreators.net/rode-sm5-shockmount/ |
Shotgun, on-camera... this is just asking for trouble. There's no point in investing a bunch of money in a setup that will sound worse than the stereo mic built in to your camera.
If you need to do wedding interviews, get a good handheld condenser or dynamic mic. If you need to get the vows, grab some lavs. A hypercardioid will be good for sit-down interviews and narrative/scripted work. It all depends on what you mean by "general shooting." |

Wireless lav, self explanetory, it's a given I was hoping to use a hypercardiod on camera to basically replace the on camera mic system, any thoughts on this. Wedding interviews, etc. |

That's really hard to say - depends on your budget. If you are interested in Sennheiser, I'd look to spending the extra bucks to move to a 416 over the ME66. If the >kilobuck area is too pricey, you might want to A/B compare the Rode NTG-1 to the ME66 - even though it's cheaper, some people like its sound better. Whatever you get engrave on the back of your glasses the limitations of on-camera mics in general and use it appropriately. |
