Hey IndieTalkers, I come to you in need of help. I am scraping together odds and ends to get the equipment I need to start working on some indie films. I currently have the Canon Rebel T3i camera, and I'm very happy with it, but I need something to get good audio, because as you all know, the built in mics are crap.
I figured that for the shots I am going to be doing, a shotgun mic would be the best overall choice for the first mic to buy. I'm on a budget of around $150 bucks, and I've been searching amazon, craigslist etc. I want your opinion on what mics are the best for that price range that work with the T3i. I figured other filmmakers would have a better handle on good mics than regular consumers.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and share your time and knowledge with me! I appreciate it and look forward to hearing from you!
