Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good shotgun mic that is designed for handheld situations. I'll be a one-man show creating an audio documentary and I desire a mic that I can hold far enough away to put my subjects at ease (as opposed to the 6-inch under-the-chin reporter approach).
Anyone know of a shotgun that is designed for such situations? Or are there special gloves that can minimize handling noise? I have an ME66 and if you even look at it cross-eyed it picks up barrel noise.
I plan to use a small mic stand for interview settings, but when the subject matter requires that I go mobile, I need a mic that doesn't pick up every subtle movement of my fingers.
Budget: anywhere between $200 and $1000. Intimate sound is so much more important in audio-only format, so I'm willing to fork out for the right mic.
Thanks,
Scott
