Camera Camcorder Microphone for Sony HXR-NX30, HXR-NX70, HXR-NX5, DSR-PD170, HVR-A1, HDR-AX2000, Replaces ECM-XM1

I live stream sports for our school district and this mic captures all court noise. I could have a conversation behind it that would not show up on the mic. When I was announcing there was a little bit of an echo on my stream but I talk pretty loud. So far I like the result. The video is just to show how well you can hear the crowd and the court I have a different mic on me.

Bought this to replace a LyxPro CMG-50 that was acting up. Happy to find that this microphone isn't a fake shotgun mic (i.e. doesn't have the microphone at the tip of the tube for some reason), and provides pretty decent off-axis rejection with adequate sound quality. Will make an excellent Discord microphone for games as it cuts down on background and keyboard noise.

Captures a little too much background noise for my taste and not enough on the subject in the lens. Good in a pinch and great as a back up!

I have been filming full-time for the past few years. I've used a few different camera mics for different cameras as well. When I ordered my Panasonic Eva1, it didn't come with a mic so I needed a good and simple solution that didn't cost a ton. I worked this with a smallrig clamp for it for the XLR on the camera. I've shooting a lot of run and gun-type stuff and was asked to do some quick interviews just from my camera alone. I was a little worried about the sound since a lot was making noise while I asked a few questions. Once I got home and loaded up the footage, I went back a listened to what I got. I could NOT believe how clear every person sounded that I interviewed. I never had a camera mic this good. I 100%b recommend if you need a good on camera mic that uses XLR.

Works, but I also have not tested extensively or for quality of the audio itself. Says it's for the Sony PD170, which it is, but it doesn't fit snug into the mic holder. Someone else said they wrapped a bunch of rubber bands around it to get it to fit & that's precisely what I did. Kind of ghetto, but whatever works.

It’s a great Mic for the price.

I am reviewing this a bit early. I just received it today. I have not checked out the sound quality. I may have to revise this later. The reason I gave this 2 stars is that the microphone says it fits my particular camera. It fits the plug in cable, but the mic itself is 50 percent thinner and so does not fit the mic holder. I have fitted a foam shield around the mic so it fits, but the information listed said it fits the Sony PMW-300 XDCAM 1/2" HD Professional Video Camcorder PMW300Sony PMW-300 XDCAM 1/2" HD Professional Video Camcorder PMW300. It does not fit the mic holder without an adapter or some sort fix. I am hoping down the road this doesn't become an issue. Just wanted to let you know in case you have similar sized holder and wanted a correct fit on the microphone.

As advertised

Goede vervanging voor het Sony origineel, dat volgens mij moeilijk los verkrijgbaar is. Bij een eerste test hoor ik geen verschil met het origineel. Door zijn korte bouw ideaal voor compacte camera's

It looks nice, and it might be okay to use on a stand or a boom. Using a camera is a disaster..... The cable is highly microphonic, touch it slightly, and you will hear it loud and clear in the recording. The metal case resonates like hell, and the internal rubber insulation of the microphonic capsule insufficient, mounted on a camera (Sony FS7) will catch ANY little noise of you handling the camera. I'll keep it as a spare for stand use only, but not recommended for on-camera use.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden

Prima kwaliteit !

Sound is bad
