Hello,
I like to make short films in my spear time, and also do some interviews with people. I am looking into buying a microphone for these two purposes. The camera I have is this one- http://www.amazon.com/JVC-GZ-HD40-Definition-Camcorder-Optical/dp/B001CBPVJG
I was looking into either this portable audio recorder- http://www.amazon.com/Tascam-DR-05-Solid-State-Recorder/dp/B004OA6JW0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Or the rode videomic- http://www.amazon.com/Rode-VideoMic-Directional-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B0007U9SOC/ref=pd_sim_MI_14
Which one do you think would be the best for what I do stuff for? If you dont think either of these are good for what I need it for, then what would you suggest? My budget is $150 maximum.
Keep in mind, I mostly only do interviews and short films.
Please reply ASAP!
Thanks!
Both are just fine for your budget.

Those mics are very cheap but work surprisingly well. I have used a few $300 AT mics and I like the cheap Chinese ones just as well.
