Sony ECM-XYST1M Stereomicrofoon voor camera's & camcorders met multi-interface accessoireschoen (120 graden geluid, microfoonuitgang, vlogging, geschikt voor o.a. A9, A7, A6000-serie, RX100-series)

So if you're into videography or vlogging, then you've probably noticed that everyone has a Rode branded microphone atop their cameras even if they own something from the Sony A6xxx range.I find Sony's offering to be a better alternative. The sound quality is very good from it's two STEREO (left and right) microphone elements, which can be moved in and out to change the width of the sound stage recorded. No other microphone at this price level provides these features.It comes with an optional wind shield of the long-fur variety which you push over the microphone elements and it's held in place in high wind with an elasticated strap at the back. The microphone also has a low-cut switch on the side to remove the very low frequency effects of high pressure air swirling around the microphone. It really works, too - as does the wind shield.You should also know that this microphone has a sprung mount, so the body of the unit will wobble to dampen down any vibrational noise or movement from the camera body. The sprung movement is between the hot shoe and the main body, so whereas something like the Rode microphones have a lengthened mount path made from a special plastic, Sony adopts this approach. It does mean the unit looks nice and professional in use.If you own an A6000 or one of the models in the A6xxxx range that doesn't have an external microphone input, this is the only way of getting audio from an external microphone as the sound is transmitted though the mi (multi-interface) hot shoe to which it attaches. If you have a camera that does have a microphone input, be it Sony or not, there is a "microphone out" stereo socket on the side of the unit and Sony do provide a short lead in the box to connect between this microphone and your camera's microphone socket. The microphone doesn't have any power requirement at all, so this is possible on any camera with a separate microphone input. And you can either just fit it to the flash hot shoe on your camera or buy a cold-shoe mount as the means of holding/securing the unit.Overall, given it's stereo, it has positional microphone elements, it has a wind shield supplied, a microphone to camera lead, and it has a low-cut switch built in, I find this item is second to none in terms of price/audio quality/features. You can go Rode if you want, but you should really give this unit a try.

Muy buena calidad se escucha muy bien y claro! Recomiendo

Di ottima qualità ed anche molto maneggevole, pesa appena 100 grammi, veloce da montare e completo dei suoi indispensabili accessori. Sul campo è risultato un microfono professionale. Consigliato.

A set-and-forget X/Y mic which works well! Clipping it on sets the camera to auto-gain and overrides all camera audio settings. The included fluffy is absolutely essential if you are using it with a gimbal or where there might be a hint of wind. It's no replacement for a shotgun or lav mic (it's not supposed to be). It is instant, stereo, in-scene sound - and ultimately it removes most of the handling noise you get with the built in mics. I occasionally use it in a studio where I wish it kept the manual controls (just says unavilable) but it hasn't distorted as yet, and the upside is that when you unclip it, all your previous mic settings are retained. So I've actually come to appreciate the auto approach. It's great when swapping between interviews and incidental sound. The mic does feel wobbly; but don't confuse that with build quality - that's just the shock mount doing it's job!
