The truly best top mic for the BMPCC 4K/6K
Posted: Mon Sep 20, 2021 8:17 am
Hey guys,
I've been doing some research and there is an appaling lack of truly objective, comparative reviews of shoe-mount microphones. Yeah, there's the MKE 400 and the Videomic Pro+, but let's be honest, in a professional capacity those sound garbage. There is a German one, the Ambient Sound TinyMike that has amazing sound but it's very old and still ridic expensive for what it is.
Plus with the XLR port on the 4K and 6K, the pro grade, longer shotguns become feasible. But I'm not finding anything online about higher grade XLR mics being used as top-mics. Like which for example have shock absorbant shoe-mounts, etc.?
Is there anybody out there using a higher grade mic as a top-mount and can share their experience or point me towards a really good review somewhere?
Oh and just prophylactically, please miss me with the 'get a sound guy' talk If my shooting environment allowed for one, I wouldn't be asking this
Thanks!
