Takstar SGC-598 Shotgun Mic Quick Look at Mad Mohawk Films

Takstar SGC 598 Shotgun Mic Quick Look at Mad Mohawk Films we are having a quick listen to the Takstar Shotgun Mic as so many people told us that it's an excellent budget mic. As always let your own ears guide you to a decision. I shot this with the Bass Rolloff turned on and the +10 DB boost turned off. Outdoors in wind I'd recommend getting a Dead Cat as I doubt the included foam windscreen will help enough. This video was shot with the Takstar about 4.5 feet away . I used my go to light for quick setup, the Neewer CN-160, it's the only light on in the studio and I used the included Yellow/Orange diffuser which warms things up nicely. I shot this with my Sony A7 with the Sigma 60mm F2.8 Art Lens on it. I shot wide open at F2.8 and had the shutter speed set to 1/50 of a second and the Frame rate was 24 FPS.At some point I'll do a Head to head shootout between this inexpensive Shotgun mic and some of my much more expensive ones so you can hear them side by side and get a better idea of the quality of this microphone or lack of quality. Again everyone hears things differently so you may come to different conclusions than I do. I'm not here to sell you a Mic so if you like or dislike this mic it's of little consequence to me.
