Best Shotgun Mic for YouTube? Top 3 Options for Every Budget!

Shotgun mics (or boom mics) are a worthy addition to any video kit. As directional microphones, they allow you to capture great audio within a targeted frame, reducing ambient noise non-directional microphones would otherwise capture.

In this video we take a look at my top 3 picks across a range of budgets to help you decide the best boom mic for your videos, no matter if you’re shooting with a phone, DSLR or professional camera setup!
