* '''Rifle mic''' - Also known as the boom mic, it's the long thin one with the fluffy thing. It's very directional, so it needs to be 'pointed' at the sound source - but used properly it gives nice, clear audio. There's rifle mics mounted on the Sony HDV cameras; while their sound quality isn't top-notch, especially as it records the tape recording and zoom operations, it's acceptable for rough footage or alternate angles. The aforementioned fluffy appendage is a wind shield - it's a must when filming outdoors and a must-not when filming indoors.  The rifle mic requires a single AA battery to power it, there is small a switch on the mic which just filters out low frequencies.  '''The rifle mic must never, ever, ever, EVER appear in shot!''' If you have a presenter that looks like they should be holding something, give them a handheld mic instead. The rifle mic has some friends:
