Shotgun MICs on a low budget

Hey so I'm startin to do some green screen work and I need to find a good shotgun microphone on a lower budget. I don't know if I should be using a condenser or camera mounted but anything $200 or less is good, I'm flexible though. If anyone has links I would appreciate it. Oh and should I buy a windscreen for indoor footage?

The Azden is what I would suggest. I personally use an MXL 991 condenser mounted overhead and run that to my audio interface. It works fair but picks up a lot of room noise and needs EQ correction. The Azden is something I am looking to get soon.

Example of the 991 at work:
