Hello everyone, have a few questions about shotgun mics.
About 75% of my videos are shot with me talking behind the camera. So basically I am shooting a product and moving it around and talking about it behind the camera. For an example, here is a link:
(can't post url yet but it's youtu. be/HTGpeoS7YIw
Now the other 25% of the time I will be recording people talking in front, so I feel that I should just get a shotgun mic.
However from what I have read, Shotgun mics do not pick up audio from behind. Not sure the range you have to be but I am pretty much hovered over the camera when I shoot.
I don't want to spend a bunch of money and buy a shotgun plus lavalier mic..so just want to buy a shotgun mic. Will this work for what I am doing?
Thanks for the help and replies in advance.
