I want to buy a mono microphone for my portable MD recorder, but don't really want to spend the $100 for the usual suspects and don't feel like I want to do the DIY that was discussed here and on various MD sites. I don't need anything fancy, mostly for hobby audio-documentary type stuff, gifts for friends etc., but it should be decent.
The Giant Squid Audio Lab microphones seem great, for 50 bucks I could get their little plug microphone and the clip on microphone delivered. Soundprofessionals and Microphone madness also have small $30 microphones that could be augmented by a clip and an extension cable.
I am looking for people that have experience with those microphones and could tell me whether I am penny pinching at the wrong end or if the quality is decent or whether I will have excessive "popping" or stuff like that.
I am grateful for any info you can give me.
