Need a Microphone for YouTube commentary

Killervolt

Hey, my friend is looking for a microphone to use for his YouTube recordings. I don't know much about this subject so I decided to ask you guys. It should be ideally as cheap as possible , and be good enough to last a couple years at least. He wants to mount it on a stand as well. He was looking at these: https://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=32347&cPath=250. ANy suggestions? (Australian stores please)

Thanks!

Blue Snowball is good for youtube commentary and it isn't that expensive.

Don't trust this maniac, I think he is a crazed tech addict on the loose.

Specs: none

Will upgrade l8r.

OK thanks! We looked at that but he was worried it wouldn't mount on a stand? Not a big deal if it doesn't.

Best USB mic is the AT2020 USB or the Rode NT USB. I personally have the Rode NT USB and it's amazing and is perfect for commentaries. I did a lot of research and I ended up with this mic and is very happy with it. Cheapest would be from here: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RODE-NT-USB-Mac-PC-Studio-Microphone-with-Stand-Pop-Filter-/291644992930?hash=item43e7656da2:g:RwQAAOSwUV9Wn3dC

Even though it's from ebay, its new and I've ordered many things from there

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll run these options past him and he'll see what he can get.

Not many people have the NT USB, but instead have a blue mic....I wouldnt recommend blue mics........but the rode nt usb comes with a pop filter.....soooooo
