Orders for Delivery
We are currently processing and receiving an extremely high volume of orders. We have recently increased the size of our team and are processing orders as quickly and as safely as possible and appreciate your patience during these times.
StarTrack our courier delivery service partner is experiencing severe service and delivery shortfalls. This has resulted in both extended delays on package deliveries, and inaccurate or delayed tracking information once packages are handed onto the courier service. The StarTrack customer service team may not be aware of this issue and may provide inaccurate information. Unfortunately, these issues are out of our control.
If your order has been marked "DISPATCHED", this means your order has been collected by our StarTrack driver and is on its way to you.
Please Note: If you have selected an “Express” delivery option, please be aware that this is a service offered by StarTrack and only applies once your package has been passed onto the courier. This service does not relate to Videoguys Australia's internal order processing. We can not refund the shipping cost if the delays are caused by StarTrack’s service.
Customer Service Delays
We are currently receiving an extreme volume of inquiries which is resulting in the extended phone and email response delays. We have recently increased the size of our team to aid the increased amount of enquires accordingly. Please be patient as our team is working through all inquiries as quickly as possible.
Behaviour
Videoguys Australia accepts zero tolerance for abusive behaviour in written, verbal, and face to face communication. Any such behaviour will result in the termination of communication and/or removal from our premises.
We understand your frustration and concern and all of our new, existing, and temporary team members are working to their best abilities during this difficult and unsure time. Inflammatory behaviour towards them is unnecessary and unaccepted.
Special Notice:
Due to high demand, you may see a higher-than-normal number of items labelled “Coming Soon", "More on the Way" or "Out of Stock”. We are re-stocking as fast as we can. If you need assistance finding an alternative from available inventory, our sales and customer service teams are available to answer your questions via phone or email.
While Videoguys Australia and our shipping partners are doing our best to get your order to you quickly and safely, we appreciate your understanding if we experience any delivery delays. We also appreciate your understanding if it takes a few extra days to process returns.
Thank you for your continued support—stay safe and be well during these uncertain times.

Zoom SGH-6 Shotgun Microphone Capsule to suit H6 Recorder
Shotgun Microphone
Hairy Windscreen
Our optional SGH-6 shotgun capsule adds a professional-quality hyper-directional (that is, highly directional) microphone to the H6, making it the perfect audio recorder for anyone working in film, video or live theater, or for ENG (electronic news gathering) applications.
Thanks to the three internal mics with digital signal processing ability, the SGH-6 achieves a frequencyindependent super-cardioid polar pattern. Compared to ordinary shotgun microphones using an acoustic tube method, the SGH-6 maintains a highly directional pickup at about half the length.
Shotgun microphones are often used when you cannot position a microphone directly in front of a sound source. For example, if someone is speaking in front of a video camera and you don't want them to hold an interview microphone up to their mouth, the solution is to use an off-screen shotgun mic.
However, shotgun mics are not the audio equivalent of a photographic telephoto lens. Even though they do an above-average job of picking up sounds that originate from a short distance away, they always sound better when they're physically close to the sound source. If the capsule is more than three feet away, the audio will start to sound distant. The farther away it is, the more distant and reverberant the audio will become.
This thing makes recording foley, or narration, so easy. A lot less hassle when you don't have to fiddle around with multiple pieces of equipment, XLR cables, etc. Just record, eject SD card, and plug into your computer.

Useful alternative to X/Y and MS input modules
We use this mic in situations where background noise is significant. The pickup pattern isolates what's right in front of the unit well.
Note - the sound recording quality is not superior to the X/Y or MS mic it's just better at isolating the sound of a single speaker.

Great Value for Money
Love how small it is. great point and shoot. Comes with a hairy windscreen. Does pick up a bit of handling noise if you're moving around with it so the "Rycote RY041119 Portable Recorder Suspension" would fix that problem. I use it on a zoom h5 recorder for all sorts of things. It's a great addition to the X/Y stereo microphone capsule if you have one.

Great, solid mic
I use the shotgun mic to record foley for video games and short films.
Great because it just works very well.
Not so great - the windsock touches the mic - other windsocks usually have a plastic skeleton which separates it from touching the mic. It's not terrible, just can't be used in extreme wind conditions.
