As someone who has bought a lot of this equipment and tested it in various (subjective) ways, I can recommend the Rode Podmic as a good alternative that's half the price of the MV7. I broke my Shure SM7B (trying to "fix" it) and didn't want to spend the money again but the Podmic sounds surprisingly almost as good to me.
