Which model mic do you have. Many news orginizations are using the ME66 as a handheld. Just don't fidget when your holding it.
If it's an MKE300 than the same might apply but that mic is a tad small to get a grip on.

Brent,
I think you might be talking about using a Hand Grip or Pistol Grip. Look that up at B&H and see if one of these is what you're thinking. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...rch&Q=&ci=8658

dv.com did an article on a shooter who uses the Sennheiser MKE300. http://www.dv.com/features/features_...cleId=17501890
(registration required) "For interviews, she has the Sennheiser rigged to pop easily off the top of the camera, and she'll quickly pass it to her subject to use as a hand-held." Maybe you can figure it out from looking at the pictures on that site. |

When you actually put this info to practice, write us a report on how it worked (and what didn't work). That will help us all.
