Yeah unless yoou are recording a particular thing. It's used in film
because since it's long it can be far a bit and off camera. But for the
reason you just said too. It'll only capture what you want it to. I
think a stereo pair of mics would be better. Unless he's gona be far
away. Wander why he thought of a shot gun in the first place.

From what I've read a shot-gun mike is so directional that even being
off-target a little will result in poor quality sound. I doubt it would be the
best for ambient recordings.

Hello Andy,
It is down to you and how much you want to spend. I follow the Booth Junky who
uses a shotgun microphone a lot. He uses the Sennheiser MKH-416. I haven’t been
able to afford one of those but I do have the MKH-166 which I purchased used
from eBay. I absolutely love it and is my mic of choice. I think that would
really do the job.
Regards,

Hi all.
I've got both the Zoom H6 and the F8n, but the only microphones I have are the
2 clip on ones that I origionally got with the H6.
I'm wanting to record the Dawn Chorus in my garden but don't have a clue as to
which microphone , or best type, to buy and where to buy it.
I think I need a directional Shot-gun microphone with a large Dead-Cat
windscreen, and also about 3 meters of cable with the appropriate XLR plugs.
Can anyone please give me some advice.
Also, My Zoom H6 is playing up. I think I've changed an inportant option
within the menues. I tried recording bird calls and the recording was
extremely poor. Is there perhaps a function within the H6 that Re-sets the
device back to factory settings.
I hope you are all okay and enjoying this period of noise pelution silence to
get very nice recordings. If so I'd love to here some samples.
Very best wishes and please take care of yourselves.
Andy Logue from Scotland.
