for that price.. Rode NTG1 and NTG2 depending on whether you want self powered electret or not.
otherwise.. not from b&h.. Oktava Mk-012 film edition..

I presume you mean like an ENG camcorder boom mic?

that's not really the right way to get good sound... you will need other components.. like a mixer, a boom itself, and a windscreen...

but you should try to get the mic off the camera and close to the action.. operated by a sound person.

Now, if what you really do want is a mic on the camera for walkaround news production... then get the rode, get the proper cable, and turn on 48v phantom power on the camera... you'll still want a mount bracket and furry windscreen.. you'll need every penny of your $400..

Avoid Azden and Samson mics... they are very poor durability and sound quality

I do have a spare MK-012.. it is not pretty, but works great.. it has 10db pad, cardioid and hypercardioid capsules, and a stand clip
