wabbit Evil has Ears Jul 22, 2005 #2 Everyone is looking at long shotguns today. First off the mic is like 16 inches long so it will get all but the tightest shots. Second it has a very tight pattern so keeping speaker on-axis will be very difficult. Lastly, to sound like a broken record, all on camera mics will give you poor audio and for that level of mic it would be a huge waste of resources. If you want a good mic (and insist on it being on-camera) a Senn 416, Nuemann 81, or Sanken cs1 would be more appropriate. best
