i need one that will try to ignore the audio from behind the camera and take audio from its sides and front.

We live and die by the Sennheiser MKH416. Stunningly good and highly directional mic… very warm and open sound. We use it for a boom mic, which is usually its primary use… but it’s so good that a lot of voiceover artists actually use it as a booth mic, too… it was the late great Don LaFontaine’s mic of choice. It’s “mid priced” as far as pro shotgun mics go, coming in at about a grand.
BUT… it’s a mono mic. However Sennheiser does make stereo mics, I’d look for one of theirs in about this grade.

I can’t speak from any firsthand experience, because I don’t use stereo shotguns… but the Sennheiser MKH418S is a stereo mic with very similar specs to the mono 416. You probably couldn’t go wrong with that one.

If you are looking for a stereo field mic that does what you describe in your original post <>i need one that will try to ignore the audio from behind the camera and take audio from its sides and front<> take a look at a Audio-Technica AT8022 Stereo, I use a older version AT-8022 both on cam and for stage pickup, around $325-350US street price
