The new Sony ECM-G1 is a compact and lightweight directional microphone designed to be mounted on-camera. It only adds 34g/1.2oz to your camera setup and measures 28×50.8×48.5mm/1x2x1.9” in size. Hence, it is smaller than the ECM-B10.
Seasoned audio guru Mark Edward Lewis guides you through every aspect of sound that you'll ever need to know as a filmmaker. Recording, dialogue, sound effects, foley, ADR, mixing, fixing - it's all here for you to master.
The microphone’s capsule has a large diameter of approximately 14.6mm and offers a super-cardioid pickup pattern. This means it should be able to clearly record sounds coming from the front side, while suppressing ambience noise hitting the microphone from other directions.
The ECM-G1 features a 3.5mm jack that makes it compatible with a wide range of devices. However, it also works with the digital Multi Interface (MI) shoe that can be found on many Sony mirrorless cameras, including the vlogging-oriented ZV-E10, and some cinema cameras (FX3/FX6). This connection results in convenient cable and battery-free setup, since both digital audio data and power are passed through the Multi Interface
