Improve the Audio for Your Video Recordings with a Takstar SGC 598 Shotgun Microphone

One of the easiest ways to significantly improve the overall quality of your video recording is to improve the quality of your audio source. By far, the most popular choice for getting better sound is adding an external microphone, which can be found on eBay. A Takstar SGC 598 shotgun microphone can zero in on the right sound and give you a crisp, clear audio track for your next video project.

Whether you are a hobbyist or a freelance videographer, the onboard microphone built into your camera is not going to give you the audio track you want. Even the best cameras on the market need an external microphone to get a quality sound on tape. Shotgun mics allow you to close in on the sound that you want while not picking up the sounds outside that area. The Takstar SGC 598 is a great mic at a very low price on eBay and can improve your overall quality even if you are on a budget. It is made from a durable plastic to keep it in the budget range while making it reliable over the long run. The barrel of the mic itself is all metal. It is powered by a single "AA" battery and there is an indicator light on the side to let you know when the battery is running low.

This microphone has a standard shoe mount. This universal mount will fit almost any standard camera. Just look for an available "shoe" slot on either the top or side of the camera body. The shoe is made of a durable plastic that should hold up well even in tough environments.

This is a pretty straightforward microphone. It has a great sound out of the box and doesnt need a whole lot of configuration. It has three switches on the side of the unit.

• On/Off Switch
• +10 db Boost
• Low Cut Switch

A shotgun mic is a long, slender microphone designed to pick up sound from a pinpoint location. Commonly used for interviews or "talking head" videos, this type of mic excels and reducing the exterior noise level while giving you a clear representation of the main sound source.
