brightnight Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'm looking to record wildlife sounds ~2ft to 15ft in front of me and off to the sides as well. I was really liked the Deity Microphones S-Mic 2based on the reviews I saw and the build quality even if the price was pretty steep. Now that I'm taking a second look I see a lot of people speaking into it from only a few inches away and I'm wondering if it has the reach to get out for sounds 2-15ft away. It's a shotgun but wasn't sure if the mic is what gives me the ability to listen to sounds up to 15ft away or if that's something I just control with my mic. Is there an Omni mic with the same sound quality out there? I will be leaving it in the woods for long periods (days) so the gains will be set before I leave and not changed so I won't be able to adjust on the fly. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1424787-REG/deity_microphones_smic_s_mic_shotgun_mic.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 So many ways to handle this. Here's one compact and clever way, from a Bubblebee Industries promo video posted last week: And here's the page for International Dawn Chorus Day, which I hadn't heard of before. But perhaps following some links will lead you to some other ideas: https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/dawn-chorus-day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
