Microphones

Any good videographer or filmmaker knows how important it is to have good sound on a project. As amazing as cameras have become, the audio quality on their built-in microphones always seems to come up a bit short. That’s why it’s important to always have an external microphone to capture high quality, professional sound. Any videographer would be happy to get one of these great microphone as a gift:

The VXR400 provides high quality audio at an affordable price, a professional microphone packed into a lightweight and compact design. It also has two high resolution condenser capsules that provide natural stereo recording, and a selectable filter to prevent low end noise, such as air conditioners, from ruining your recordings.

MOVO VXR100 Professional 11" Supercardioid Condenser Shotgun Video Microphone Kit

If you’re looking to spend a bit more, then the VXR100 Microphone Kit makes for a perfect gift. The microphone provides broadcast quality audio, and the full kit provides you with everything else you’ll ever need for recording professional quality sound to accompany your video: a comfortable handgrip, two windscreens, a stand clamp, a shock mount, and additional cables and adapters.
