 Recently I have read that the rode ntg-2 doesn=E2=80=99t fix very well wit=
h the Tascam or Zoom recorders and you have to be very close to the object =
for a good recording. Another option could be buying a Sennheiser m66/k6 mi=
c, but this is more expensive than the rode and we will not have enough mon=
ey for the blimp, can I work without the blimp ?=0D
