Gun mike for use with Panasonic GH3

[Yaron Y. Dahan]

Hey folks,

I just recently got my GH3 set up and am looking for some sort of basic sound set up that would get me through the day. Any thoughts on what I should get for a total budget of 400$?

It would be either a decent gun mike, or a cheap gun mike + ext. recorder I guess. I know there is a Panasonic made DNW-MS-2 kind of "Designed for" the GH3, but I don't know if it has any advantages/benefits. And actually maybe its not so great becuase of its very short cable.

 

 

In sound I really know nothing about nothing, so I am open to any of your helpful thoughts.

Thoughts anyone?
