With your URL you might not get to much response. Nobody likes the word Bootleg around here. I am sure you dont "SELL" your recordings right?

[TripKore]

been trading bootlegs for over 10 years, bootleg doesnt have to refer to "selling". but if people here takes it like that then nevermind.

This may shed some light on distaste for "bootleggers" terminology.

What's your budget?

You may receive limited responses as there a limited number of TSers doing audio + video.

Thats a nice thread, seen them a few times over the years.. only that term is used many different ways over the years. And since people have been audio taping or video recording, that still use the word "bootlegs" in their lists, lists, info, masters etc for over 20 years. It's not something that can be change. People will still call their stuff bootlegs (unauthorized recording meterial) even if its trading, selling, filming, taping etc. So lets be grown ups and get over the childish terms.

Budget is under 100$ on amazon.com. As I got a gift card and i would like to buy a mic for my cam. I never needed too as I've always ran with Panasonic cams and had no need for external mics. This Canon does need one. If no one wants to help because I've used to the word "bootleg" in my domain name. Thats fine. I'll move on.

But being an active filmer for 10years now, and filmed over 200 high end concerts that people enjoy to watch and trade. It would be cool to keep giving them amazing audio to go with. So any help would be great.

Thanks

Not to be a snob.. But this is the place where the REAL tapers hang out and WE don't use that term EVER. I think its childish to use a word that does not do justice to what the people here are engaged in. I would say Taper or Archiver. But never  bootlegger. Sorry I guess I am a child Anyway I make some nice mics that will cost you a few dollars more than you want to spend or you can look in the yardsale area here and you might find something in your budget or below it.

I did check yard sale... but as i asked for opinions of decent mics under 100$ as i dont know which ones to buy from yard sale that will do my cam justice. And my second point of my questions was suggesting something on amazon as i just received a nice giftcard over there and would like to spend it wisely for my next show to film.

But if no one has any input then ill just continue to lurk.

Some people tend to forget all the best recordings from today and previous years "are" from bootleggers =)
But i just picked up a Sennheiser MKE 400. Thanks for the PM guy =)
