Sony ECMG1 Big Capsule Shotgun Microphone

Whatever the subject matter or setting, adding a high-quality audio track will bring your creative video projects to the next level. The compact, lightweight ECM-G1 provides front-facing voice and audio capture while minimising ambient noise, delivering a clear, crisp sound for your movie shoots. Key Features High-quality sound from a large-diameter microphone capsule Despite its overall compact size, the ECM-G1 shotgun microphone is built around a large-diameter (14.6 mm) microphone capsule, designed to provide clear sound capture while effectively suppressing noise.  [1] Built-in microphone  [2] PCM-D100  [3] ECM-G1 Ideal for clear vocal pickupThe ECM-G1 is particularly suitable for picking up the frequency bands characteristic of human voices. The microphone captures voices in a clear and easily audible manner, for excellent recording of vlog monologues, interviews and conversations. Super-cardioid characteristics for highly directional pickup Just like larger shotgun microphones, the ECM-G1 features a super-cardioid capsule design. This focuses the audio pickup to a narrow target in front of the microphone, suppressing ambient sounds and making it perfect for vlogging and interviews. Cable-free connection through an MI ShoeThe ECM-G1 connects to, and is directly powered from, Sony's compatible cameras via an MI (Multi Interface) Shoe. In addition to simple connectivity and portability, you’ll enjoy interference and mechanical noise-free shooting, with no need for external cable connections. Convenient battery-free operation The MI Shoe of compatible cameras serves to supply power directly to the microphone, so you don't have to worry about microphone batteries running out of charge midway through a shoot. Shock and vibration suppressionThe ECM-G1 incorporates a shock- and vibration-suppressing design that effectively reduces low-frequency vibration noise, including noise when zooming the lens or focusing. The cable-free setup also eliminates the possibility of vibration noise being transmitted through connector cables. Supplied wind screen for outdoor shootsThe microphone comes with a wind screen that is very effective at reducing wind noise when you're shooting outdoors.   Large Diameter Microphone Capsule - 14.6mm Super cardioid suppresses ambient sound and emphasise the sound from in front of the camera, ideal for vlogging, social media content creation and interviews Compact, portable, cable-free and battery-free (powered by the camera body) Windshield Included Format: CAMERA ACCESSORIES - AUDIO
