Elevate the audio quality of your vlogs and content creations with the Sony ECM-G1, an exceptionally compact camera-mount shotgun microphone meticulously engineered for capturing clear and articulate speech in videos. Whether you're conducting interviews, filming outdoor street scenes, or sharing quick updates on social media platforms, the ECM-G1's highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern precisely focuses on the subject directly in front of the camera, effectively eliminating unwanted background noise from the sides and rear.

With its substantial 14.6mm microphone capsule, the ECM-G1 produces a rich, full-range sound that rivals the quality of dedicated professional audio recorders, such as the Sony PCM-D100. To ensure seamless connectivity, the ECM-G1 features a 3.5mm output jack, complete with a supplied audio cable, compatible with a wide range of DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Additionally, for Sony shooters, the microphone is fully compatible with Sony's Multi-Interface (MI) shoe, providing a hassle-free, cable-free connection for powering and in-camera audio recording.

Included with the ECM-G1 is a furry windscreen, ideal for outdoor shoots, offering protection against wind noise and ensuring pristine audio capture in challenging conditions.

Small Enough to Stay Out of Your Way, Even on Gimbals
With a weight of only 1.2 ounces and a length of only 1.9", you can leave the ultracompact ECM-G1 attached to your camera all the time, so you don't have to sacrifice audio quality on a spur-of-the-moment take.
The unobtrusive design ensures the mic stays out of the way of both the viewfinder and your framed shot, even with wide-angle lenses, making it ideal for tight vlogging shots.
The back of the microphone won't touch your forehead when you're looking through the viewfinder and setup is easy, even with gimbals and grips.

MI Shoe Connectivity for Sony Cameras
Cable-free connection:
No cables are required for connection to a wide range of Sony cameras equipped with an MI shoe. The absence of connecting cables means that no noise can be transmitted to the microphone mechanically via cables and connectors and that no cable gets in the way of your shoot.
Battery-free operation:
Power is supplied via the MI shoe in compatible cameras, so you don't have to worry about microphone batteries running out during a shoot.

3.5mm Jack Connectivity for DSLR/Mirrorless Cameras
The ECM-G1 also comes with a 3.5mm audio-output jack and cable for use on compatible DSLR/mirrorless cameras and recording devices equipped with a 3.5mm audio-input jack.
In this configuration, the mic runs on internal battery power.

Designed to Minimize Shock and Vibration Noise
The ECM-G1 features a vibration-suppressing design to effectively minimize and reduce minor bumps and mechanical noise—such as when focusing or zooming—which can degrade audio quality.

Supplied Windscreen
The ECM-G1 comes with a furry windshield that's easily detachable and effective in reducing wind noise for capturing crisp audio on outdoor shoots.
