DIY Shotgun Microphone (with in-built shock mount)
  • MattMatt

    Hi everyone! :) A while ago I made my own shotgun microphone for my camcorder. It's VERY cheap to build (mine cost £12), and sounds way better than you'd think for the price.

    Several people have asked me to make a video of how it was done, so I've finally got around to making it. I thought I'd post it here because some of you might find it interesting. Anyway, I'd like to know what you think.

    Thanks for posting.

    Issue is that it is not shotgun microphone.

    @Matt did you used a basic electret condanser capsule this test architecture ?

    Good initiative!

    Thank you. :)

    @simurg Yes, I used a standard electret condenser capsule. It was, however, a cardioid type, which give it good directionality.
