Cheap primecable condenser mic

hey everyone a little question for you today. 

 

I need a new microphone since I only got a crappy one from DX!  I dont really like wearing a headset with the mic in front of my mouth so that why I whant a mic that stay on my desk or anythig else!

I got a behringer Xenyx 502 that have a XLR or TS mic in that have a amp and EQ on it. I found this mic : http://goo.gl/b2bG8R  it cheap and  I think that would greatly fit my utilisation since I'M planing to do some video on youtube

 

feel free to share some link if you have another good option!

its probably ok, but id sooner recommend an XLR dynamic mic 


Cheapest = Behringer XM8500 $20 - get a mic stand and pop filter

 

Cheapish = Shure PGA58 for $60


Or save up and get a SM57/58 or rode procaster or better :P

I'm no expert  but the behringer has integrated  wind  and pop filter.  Would a separat pop filter really be needed?

Potentially not, the ones inside can be effective though not 100%

True...  Behringers products are rather good when compared to price. I just happen to know the quality Control on some of the products is..  Well lackluster to choose a diplomatic term.
