Stereo Mic for RED

[Brian D. Goff]

I would like to have a general Stereo Mic for my RED camera - any suggestions?

Thanks

The Sanken CMS-10 is probably the best on-camera stereo mic I've heard. A bit pricey at $2200usd, but well worth it.

I've been using the very affordable Audio-Technica AT825 and I must say the sound is pristine - even camera-mounted, it produces clear clean audio from sources 20' away.

How are you mounting it to the Red? Can you just put a battery into the back of the mike or do you need an external phantom power source?

I'm currently using a Sennheiser 416 with a phantom power source taped/clipped to the sidehandle and I am looking for a new mike that I can just put a battery in.. ( I know the pickup patterns are different....)

It takes 1 AA battery. I'm mounting it with in a shock mount with a 1/4-20 to whatever the threads are on the shock mount adapter I picked up for $20 at Film Tools.
