Great Interview Microphones

It's your storytelling microphone

NEVER use your camera's built-in microphone for interviews..green screen with voice..training material..news reports...customer testimonials...Web Blogs...Corporate Communications

Even iPhone users can do better then the default recording mic.

For Run and Gun Interview material...get this Sennheiser ME66 Shotgun Microphone, and a good wind screen.
