Audio-Technica AT 875R Shotgun Microphone Condenser, 178mm
DV247 offered the best price with free P&P and the AT875R arrived promptly and well packed. I haven't used the mic yet but it was recommended by my fellow professionals who consider the AT875R to be a very versatile, lightweight and excellent value mic. I will be mainly using it as a top-mic on my Sony FS7 camera.
