Hello, can you suggest a good microphone for my Sony AX100? I need a stereo but also directional, with a switch to choose one of two options.
Mi budget $100.
thanks
 
Hi
I honestly do not know of a mic that fits that description.
Maybe a description of what you want a mic to do will get you more advice. This also may be a question for the sound forum, although some over there can be knowledgeable, but harsh towards some posers that have not already made a search for the answer. So either do some homework first or put on your thick skin... On the other hand there are many VERY nice posters there and the knowledge level is truly impressive.
Hope this helps -> good luck.
 
Sony AX100 has these info:
Rec audio
Dolby® Digital 2 canali stereo, Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator [solo AVCHD],
Dolby® Digital a 5.1 canali, Dolby® Digital 5.1 Creator [solo AVCHD], MPEG-4
AAC-LC 2ch, MPEG-4 PCM Lineare 2 canali (48 kHz/16 bit) [XAVC S solo 4K]

I'm thinking to buy Shure VP83 LensHopper microphone. It is the shortest and lightest among good microphones. But I'm afraid it will be too much big for AX100 and I'm afraid it will lose its balance. I need to record in wild enviroments and create more sound pathos (rainforest sounds and indigenous peoples songs). What is your thoughts?
