On the odd occasion, we do like to get stuck in to a bit of research! It's important to appreciate how essential sound is to high quality production. For a long time we were using the Rode Video Mic Pro+ shotgun mic that is brilliant for a whole variety of scenarios.
However, when it came to interviews, depending on the environment we were in, it just wasn't cutting it. It was picking up too much echo, too much background noise. So, we've purchased a lapel mic - the audio-technica Pro 70 and so far it's been exceptional. We highly recommend!
It may not seem like a big difference but that's often how you improve your overall level of quality - lots of small tweaks and upgrades that come together.
