As earlier stated by David Newman:
"It comes with two handles, yes (one with and one without the XLR audio input.) It doesn't come with the shotgun mic."

Is this true? (sorry I don't always believe what I read.)

If so, What would be a quality shot gun mic that would work well in most cases?

To get the most out of the audio, you will want to use a professional -60db mic.

It helps with the camera's auto gain.
