I've got 3 shotgun mics, I have a Sennheiser shotgun mic; I'm not sure the brand since it doesn't tell me. I have a Audio technica short mic and a RODE NTG-2

All those listed I beleive would be ideal for outdoors, I'm shooting indoors and I think I need a decent mic for indoors can any one steer me to a decent mice.


This was the mic I was looking at:

Only the Sennheiser is "ideal" for use outside - if it's an MKH series - the others would be OK with care. You will notice the difference when it gets damp.

Oktava mics are Russian and are OK at their price point.
 
Is their any cheap mixers for sale out on other websites that I've yet to see? Also how can I tell what Senn I have since it doesn't say anything on the mic.
 
That's sadly the ME66, bottom end Sennheiser which is not too great imho.

Personally, I'd try to sell all 3 and grab a Rode NTG-3 (nearly identical, but costs less than, the Senn. MKH mic John thought you had)

That is not quite accurate. There are a number of Sennhieser mics that take batteries.

When you screw it apart (I think that would be unscrew it in english?) the battery compartment may have a sticker that identifies the base power unit. Also in the inside of the capsule (front portion of the mic) there may be a number that tells what kind of capsule it is.

The K6+ME66 is really a very good mic. and does, actually, hold up very well in the damp (I know someone who does wildlife recording using this series well above the Arctic circle at the most northern point of Norway, north of Finland, at the border with Russia).

I never had reliability issues with the mic, but didn't really like the sound of it personally. Just my 2c.
