Re: [Avid-L2] Shotgun recommendation

My favorite dialog mic, and the standard in Hollywood, is the Schoeps with a MK41 hypercardioid capsule. Very directional but not a "shotgun." Schoeps also makes a shotgun mic, but I haven't tried that.

Note that they are very sensitive to handling and wind noise — need a hollow windscreen (BD5) and a shock mount with cable isolation clip for best results — but they are by far the best mic for dialog, bar none. Not cheap but worth it.

I'm figuring on re-assigning it to in-house use only, so looking for recommendations for a good pro shotgun (or kit?) that won't break the bank. Mostly for boom use - field dialog, interviews, nat sound, that kinda thing.
