where can i buy a Oktava MK012 w/ Hyper Cardiod Cap? I'm putting together a bunch of audio equipment to buy, and i can't find this anywhere...
 
Is it a good idea to use oktavaMK012 as an onboard mic for HVX200?
For interiors and exteriors that is.
Thanx.
Good day.
 
Jimi,

The simple answer is no. The Octava is very prone to handling noise, and on exteriors you need wind protection. In general, I don't recommend using an on-board mic at all.

I personally don't recommend any mic for on-board camera work. You can never really get close enough to be effective. I believe that others here have recommended the CS3e or the 416, so you may want to try those.

The only time a camera mounted gun will be worth anything is for some ambience 2-4' away in a doc/news brill situation. Never ever in narrative films. The at4073a is decent for that purpose as it has a fairly wide pickup.
