Microphone Test 3 (HTDZ HT-320A Shotgun Microphone)

Third in line for testing with my GoPro HD Hero 2 camera is an inexpensive shotgun microphone I picked up off eBay for around $15. It's called the HTDZ HT-320A shotgun microphone. The build quality of the mic is actually very high. There's a switch built into the mic that lets you set the mic from Tele to Wide angle coverage. It takes one AA sized battery and comes with a cable and a windscreen. There's also a microphone clip that attaches to your camera's hot shoe! Nice!

Anyway, I didn't use the windscreen on this test and I should have. You'll also notice that the sound is only recorded on the left channel because of the cable that comes with it. If you want both channels connected, you'll need to find a cable that connects to both channels of the mic plug.


More later,
Ambrose
