Audio Technica AT897 gun micLike all Audio-Technica products the AT897 is very good value for money. OK you wouldn't choose it over a Schoeps CMIT but for most everyday documentary or corporate shoots it works very well. This really is one of the best budget gun mics on the market. Designed for video production and broadcast (ENG/EFP) audio acquisition Short length 279mm/11" ensures mic stays out of the shot Smooth, natural-sounding on-axis audio quality Provides the narrow acceptance angle needed for long-distance pickup Switchable low-frequency roll-off Operates on battery or phantom power Here's an excellent video from Audio-Technica showing how to use the AT897 for best results:-
