Starting to get audition notices that I need to turn around quickly whilst away from the home setup, and would love an inexpensive mic to go into my iPad or MacBook. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...unless they're terrible. Cheers!

For a Mic that you wouldn't be afraid to lose or have damaged in transit, this forum's Soundgun has repeatedly recommended the Audio-Technica AT875R Short Shotgun Microphone.

I see it now on Amazon NEW for 169.00 as of this date.

I have one. You might call it the poor man's Sennheiser 416.

Or not.

On the other hand....there are some Mac specific microphones that might work well for you. But since I don't speak "Mac"...I 'll leave that discussion (and opinion) to those more qualified.

Audio-Technica AT875R is a great choice. I'm a fan of AT shotgun mics in general. I use the AT 2035 for travel because it's $129, sounds good, has low self-noise, and has a good pad and HPF built in.
