Azden ECZ-990The Azden ECZ 990 is a compact shotgun mic with a handy removable camera mount: it's designed for on camera use, but it's not stuck on that mount, so you can use the microphone in a different mount if you'd like to. Connects via a (fixed) coiled cable that can extend up to about 45cm. Not the fanciest mic in the world, but it's a good little performer for everyday use. Runs on a single AAA battery (included) and connects via a common 1 8" miniplug.
