Senal SCI-3212 Budget Boom Microphone for Film and Video Dialogue

In today’s episode we have a look at and a listen to a budget indoor boom microphone, the Senal SCI-3212. This small boom microphone comes with 3 different capsules with different polar patterns. We’ll focus on the super-cardioid capsule which is commonly used for video and film dialogue indoors. For less than $100 USD, this is an impressive option for those of us on a tight budget.
