## Description

From the manufacturer The importance of audio Viewers judge movies based on sound as well as vision, so don't overlook the importance of audio. High-quality sound provides a clear "voice" for you and your friends, while the dynamic sounds of animals and nature create vivid impressions. Large-diameter, 14.6 mm microphone capsule Wind screen for trouble-free outdoor shooting The ECM-G1 comes with an easily detachable wind screen that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors under windy conditions. Anti-vibration construction The vibration-suppressing design of the ECM-G1 helps reduce minor bumps and mechanical noise, such as when focusing or zooming. When connected via Multi Interface (MI) Shoe, the cable-free setup eliminates any possibility of cable-transmitted vibration noise. Treat yourself to better sound Whether you're shooting interviews, outdoor street scenes, or just quick updates for social media, adding a high-quality audio track will bring your creative work to life. The ECM-G1 provides sophisticated audio-capture capabilities that are well matched to your moviemaking needs. Cable-free, battery-free operation via MI Shoe Cable-free confidence Connecting the microphone via a compatible MI Shoe means you don't have to worry about noise being transmitted mechanically through cable connections or cables getting in the way of your shot, for greater portability when shooting. Battery-free convenience When you attach the ECM-G1 to the MI Shoe of any of Sony's compatible cameras, power is supplied directly from the camera to the microphone. This lets you handle extended shooting sessions free of concerns about the microphone battery running out. Microphone out jack compatible with many devices Connect to your smartphone Connect the ECM-G1 to your Xperia or other smartphone to produce vlogs with high-quality audio. The compact size makes it ideal for use with a smartphone. Connect to your laptop or other device A microphone out jack is provided on the side of the microphone. This can be used with cameras, PCs, IC recorders and other compatible devices that have plug-in power but do not have an MI Shoe. A recording cable is included.

Review: Excellent as usual from Sony. Mind the cage compatability! - The Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone has significantly elevated my audio recording experience with the Sony ZV-E1, delivering crisp and clear sound. However, it’s crucial to note potential compatibility issues with certain cages, such as SmallRig. Let’s start with the positive aspects. The ECM-B10 is a compact and powerful shotgun microphone that seamlessly integrates with the Sony ZV-E1, capturing audio with impressive clarity and reducing unwanted ambient noise. Its lightweight design complements the ZV-E1’s portability, making it an ideal choice for on-the-go videography. Now, the caveat. Some cages, like SmallRig, may not have accounted for the use of an external microphone like the ECM-B10. This can lead to challenges in mounting the microphone securely, and users may need to explore additional solutions or modifications to make it work seamlessly with their setup. Despite the potential cage compatibility concerns, the ECM-B10 itself is a top-tier microphone. Its direct connection to the ZV-E1 ensures a hassle-free recording experience, and the included windscreen is effective in reducing wind noise during outdoor shoots. In summary, the Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone is a fantastic choice for enhancing audio quality on the Sony ZV-E1. However, potential compatibility issues with certain cages should be considered, especially if you plan to use accessories like SmallRig. Ensure you explore suitable mounting options to make the most of this excellent microphone in your videography setup.
Review: Great with the A6400 - Looks great and better still records great sound! No wires (unless you have a camera that’s not compatible with the interface hot shoe.) Not cheap but I think you get what you pay for both for sound, quality and convenience.

## Features

- HIGH QUALITY SOUND RECORDING: Enjoy clear voice recording and the reduction of unwanted noise. This Sony microphone delivers high-quality audio, perfect for selfie shooting.
- FRONTAL SOUND COLLECTION: The compact mic can suppress ambient sound and emphasise sound in front of the camera. Ideal when the target sound collection range is in the frontal direction, such as when shooting vlogging content.
- COMPACT & PORTABLE: The compact size makes this shotgun mic easy to carry and use anytime, anywhere.
- CABLE FREE & BATTERY FREE: The cable-free mic gives you great mobility with a battery and cable-free experience. Use this camera microphone for vlogging or content creation... and never worry about battery durability when you're on-the-go.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great with the A6400

Looks great and better still records great sound! No wires (unless you have a camera that’s not compatible with the interface hot shoe.) Not cheap but I think you get what you pay for both for sound, quality and convenience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good with a couple of provisos
*by A***P on 19 April 2017*

Works well for vlogging. I use it with an A6000, the zoom function does not work but the standard gun function works well cutting out a lot of extraneous sound. With this mic my A6000 is now my go to camera for video in addition to stills. A couple of bits of advice: 1. this mic must be set to off when you turn on the camera. The order must be camera on then mic on. If I don't do this the mic is not recognised by the camera software. If you do it in the wrong order just turn both mic and camera off and start again - camera on then mic on. 2. the dead-cat windshield does work well but needed trimming with scissors to stop the fur getting in shot. With these provisos, I recommend the product but these issues should really be dealt with by Sony asap.
