Cool...
Thank you all!

Those Rodes are pretty cheep... I didn't know they even make shotguns that cheep..
Are they any good? Do they worth it?
I guess I could go about $100-$200 higher if there's something up there that might be much better.

As far as frequency response... Are there any specific characteristics I should be looking for, or should I just go flat?


Would any of you consider a large dynamic as a Foley mic?
I've been told that something like a Heil PR-40 could be good for Foleys... It has a lot of presence, kinda brings out some stuff without needing a high volume.
Theoretically, it makes some sense to me... What do you guys think?
Any other dynamic mics that might be considered? How about something like the ElectroVoice RE20?

I was recently introduced to these mics-

Never heard them, but people say that they are WAY better than some mics double the price...
And these are cheep as hell! ($70 for this specific one)
Does anyone have experience with one of these?
What I think might be the problem with these is that they're omnidirectional... And from what I understand here, I don't want that, right?


Thanks, again!
