In this video I am testing out 3 different directional microphones for film and video production. These are usually called shotgun mics. The most expensive one is from Sennheiser then at more than half the price is a microphone produced by Rode. It's the Rode NTG4+ mic which I reviewed in my previous video. https://youtu.be/-7Dgk8_wxck

Finally I also test out the cheapest shotgun mic I could find to see if it's necessary to spend a lot on the other two mics. The last one is the VidPro XM55 microphone.
