    What do you folks recommend for a good microphone to be put on a fishpole for recording clean dialogue in a restaurant setting for two on svreen talent?

    Thanks.

    Without knowing the room size, off the top of my head I’d say have a look at
    a Sennheiser MKH 416, or a Sanken CS-1.

    But your best bet would be to have an audio professional who knows field production
    have a look at the set, and discuss shots with you.

    I would not use a shotgun in that situation. I would use a hypercardioid. A Schoeps cmc641. If not that, then a plant mic of some sort on the table.
