Cheap Boom Kit/GL1 Light/Shotgun Mic

[surfera007]

I have been looking for days and have had no luck with any of this. I am essentially looking for 3 things:
-A cheap boom poll (fishpoll) with a mic
-A light to add to my GL1
-A shotgun mic to add to my GL1

Please help! The cheapest boom poll I found was $70 and then the mic was $169.

I haven't been able to find a light for my GL1 and the only shotgun mic I found was the Rode VideoMic for $150.

The GL1 lacks XLR connectors whick limits choice unless you use a Beachtek box or a matching transformer like this. Watch out for mics that require 48VDC phantom power only. Many will run on batteries.

Here is a good overview report on "low cost" shotguns and boom mounts.

Videoguys.com has some boom kit packages.

You can make your own boom pole, with some of the money you save you can buy a reasonably good microphone shock mount.

What about a cheap light? I was thinking LED.
