Takstar SGC-600 Camera Shotgun Microphone: Decent Sound on a Budget
In today’s episode, we have a look at and a listen to the very affordable Takstar SGC-600 camera-top shotgun microphone. This little microphone doesn’t have any of the fancier features you find on microphones like the RODE VideoMic NTG or the DEITY D3 Pro but its price is about 1/7th the cost. Have a listen to our audio samples to see if you can hear the difference.
