I am going to record audio directly into my camcorder with a lil' Rod camera mount mic. I am also wanting to capture audio onto a DAT recorder. What is a decent XLR shotgun mic for under $200? I have only use Audio Technica in the past and I'm unfamiliar with any other brand.

These aren't bad but there only on ebay, and there from china. A friend swears by these, but they scare me.

$23 for the HTDZ HT-81? Wow. I just bought two. I'll post in a few weeks when they get here with some info. Thanks a lot. The Azdens was actually the one I was looking at but I wanted to leave the post open to suggestions. So those work well, eh?
