A good substitute to this shotgun kit, which is out of stock at B&H Photo?

That's a pretty nice set-up for the price. Have you called B&H? They may be willing to give you a break on buying separate items to make up a similar kit. Just about anything I recommend, using the NTG-3 as the shotgun, will add about $300 to that price.

Out of stock!

They will email me when it comes in. But, who knows when.

Sounds good.

What does Alcove Audio and ROC think?

Should I go with it?

Hmm.

I'd go with this kit if you have a way of making a boom pole:

Not that the Audio Technica is bad, I've never used one in the field before. I think the Rode has the best sound for a budget shotgun IMHO and I've seen it used more often.

EDIT:

Oh lol that's the original thing you wanted to buy. Hah. Go figure.

The kit I showed you will save you $300. Make a makeshift boom pole for $30 from IndieBudget's how-to, and then get a windjammer.

Thanks.

While in the store, I can ask if they have any boom poles on sale.

They have it with the NTG-3 kit in black for $45 more. It says in stock. Call 'em and see if they'll knock $45 off.

Thanks Alcove.

I'll print the page of that link and do a walk-in Sunday morning and buy it with a 3-year warranty.
