Condenser Photography Interview Recording Microphone

Upgraded my camera to one that has a mic jack (finally) and after lots of research chose this one. It is easy to use, takes a regular AA battery and works great. The battery door can be a bit tricky but it seems to get a long life out of one battery so I'm not too worried about it since changes wont be frequent. I do wish it came with a dead cat wind cover, but for the price I just made my own for a custom fit and it works well enough. Sound was pretty clean for a mic at this price-point and SO much better than the in-camera mic, definitely worth grabbing if you want to shoot video.

I really loved this piece of uni-directional shot gun microphone. It is well built and very affordable for a beginner like me to create videos for my youtube channel. I set up this very quickly and it has some shock absorber below the microphone. For nice audio pick up from 10-20 feet straight to camera, we can use this is cameraman also wants to talk ( cardiod pick up ). I am very much satisfied and full value for the money I spent. Its my daily vlogging microphone although I have some Rode Wireless go. I also use this with iphone but with two adapters sold separately.

Unlike many items on the market, this TAKSTAR SGC-598 is only 35 dollars. It has just about the same sound quality as the higher end camera microphones. I have been using this camera for my DSLR Canon camera. The one problem I had with this mic the quality of the materials. It is made with cheap plastic along with the cheap foam that goes on the end of the mic. Every time I screw on and off my camera, it feels like it is going to break. but other than that, It's good. Unless you need to record some sort of voice over, I recommend getting this Mic

Firstly, it arrived a few days ahead of time and it works perfectly. It's like a mini boon mic.

Works just as good as big name brand shotgun mics.
