Yikes! $40x2+$99=$179. I don't think I can go that high right now. I'll have to think about that. I've been trying to put together this crowdfuding campaign for weeks - I really need to get enough funding to switch WaterCitizen to a 501c3 and then put together an initial team and get the right equipment together. I won't actually have the money until after the campaign. I'm trying to do video interviews & livestreams onto the crowdfunding page throughout the campaign (if I ever get the initial vidieo & story done). Can't get the money for the mics for the videos until after the campaign. Catch 22.
WaterCitizen I understand completely. I've been financing equipment purchases for my team for a while. The setup I proposed is "cheap" for the quality you'll get. You could get a USB ATR 2100 USB mic http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATR2100-USB-Cardioid-Dynamic-Microphone/dp/B004QJOZS4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433213681&sr=8-1&keywords=audio-technica+atr2100-usb but it would mean you'd have to get the mic pretty close to your guest's mouth in order to get a quality signal. At $59.00 you could plug it directly into your computer or chromebox and move it between you and your guest as you interview. When close to the mouth, the audio is nice and warm. Later you could add a single lav mic as suggested above and the PreSonus audio interface. The lav could be put on your guest and you could plug the ATR2100 into the interface using the (included) XLR cable. I can't, in good concience, recommend anything cheaper.
WaterCitizen (Cat), presently there is an ebay auction for a used ATR 2100 which will end in 3 dys. Present price is $10.50 and they say they will tack on $8.95 for shipping. It might be the ultra-low budget option you are looking for,
