Thank you for that test. The outside fence test, with some echo really showed the difference.

[@TheOneCanoe]

It definitely gives you better audio, maybe not as good a s a dedicated plug-in lavalier style mic, but it does improve upon the camera's built-in microphone.

[@OrlandoKissimmeeHomes]

@@TheOneCanoe Thank you

[@BravoMx]

The difference is notizable, thanks I think I'll follow thru with my purchase.

[@kelwinkwel]

just got mine today .. it’s a nice clean setup

[@MsDeebass1979]

Thanks so much for the video. I will definitely purchase one

2:35-zoom function is for big cameras

[@nanostar7660]

4:10-mic test

[@TheOneCanoe]

"Zoom" function designed to work with SONY Camcorders with built-in zoom lenses. As the lens zooms, the pickup pattern on the microphone changes.

​@@TheOneCanoedoes this function the same way on an RX10 mkIV?

[@christopherxiong2206]

First time stumbling on this channel, but anyone else thought he was Jerry Springer at first??

[@Matthews_Media]

The white noise is unbearable.

[@AtletaFulltime]

Its possible use in a sony nex f3?

[@marksandorfitness]

Does this work with the Sony ZV E10 camera?

[@TheOneCanoe]

Yes, the SONY ECM-GZ1M is compatible with the new SONY ZV E10 camera, however the ‘zoom’ function is not accessible when used with that camera.

[@chapeudopresto]

thanks! sucess :)

[@SweeterAlsoThanHoney]

Can you turn the microphone so it faces the opposite direction??

[@TheOneCanoe]

No, because it uses a ‘hot’ shoe, it must face forward to make the electrical connection.

[@ft_sakkinen]

I've installed this mic to my ZV-E10 and i cannot change my audio levels now on camera? :( How to adjust those if peaking all the time?

[@TheOneCanoe]

Sorry, I've only used this on a Sony a6000 (which only has auto levels) Anyone else used this on a ZV-E10, please respond. Thanks

[@Cherrygiahan]

Can you review Videomic pro vs this MIC on A6400? thanks

[@TheOneCanoe]

Sorry, can't do. I have a Videomic Pro, which I use on my Canon camcorder and it is excellent, but I only own the a6000, which does not have a microphone in jack, so cannot compare these mics on the a6400.

[@lvhydro5935]

I have an issue with white noise on my mic, how did you remove that from yours? Assuming you’d had the same issue

[@TheOneCanoe]

I did not have that issue. My audio has always been clean. I've only used this mic on Sony a6000.

[@piratetech3722]

It usually means you might have the gain on your camera turned up too high, You want to get your loudest parts to about -6 db and your quietest parts no lower than about -20db

[@Matthews_Media]

@@TheOneCanoe You do have that issue... Its pretty easy to hear it in your video when you tested it outside.

[@TheOneCanoe]

@@Matthews_Media For sure, you can notice some white noise from this consumer microphone, but compared to the built-in camera mic it definitely is a lot less hollow sounding.
