  OT: Best microphone for backup

  Posted by Norman Willis on April 29, 2010 at 5:12 am

  OT: I need a good shotgun microphone for backup. Which gives the best performance for dollar in the $160-260.00 price range, including shock mount and indoor wind screen?

  I am considering the Rode Videomic at $170.00:

  And the Azden SGM-2X 2-barrel at $200.00:

  I have a juicedLink CX-431 XLR-to-3.5mm adapter, but am also looking at the Pearstone adapter, to bypass the juicedLink (one less thing to worry about):

  Does the Pearstone adapter work? And is there a better shotgun microphone in the $160-260.00 price range, including shock mount and wind screen?

  (If there is a compelling reason I could go as high as $300.00, but it would have to be a really great microphone.)

  Thank you,

  Or maybe this kit with the AT897?

  Or the Rode NT-G2?

  Help! Does anyone know which of these microphones will work best mounted on camera?

  Thanks!
