DIY Shotgun Microphone (with in-built shock mount)

[MatthewP]

Hi everyone! A while ago I made my own shotgun microphone for my camcorder. It's VERY cheap to build (mine cost £12), and sounds way better than you'd think for the price.

Several people have asked me to make a video of how it was done, so I've finally got around to making it. I thought I'd post it here on Home Recording because some of you might find it interesting. Anyway, I'd like to know what you think.

Very cool man. Thanks for sharing.

If you don't already present a gardening show for the BBC, you should probably look into that.

That's a compliment, btw.

Haha, thank you very much. Your thinking I'm presenter material actually means quite a lot.
