The SONY ECM-B1M - “Testing testing 1 2 3"

Testing out this shotgun mic for the first time. I thought I would see what it would sound like for vlogging or interview setups. I did a quick sample comparison to the lav mic I've been using for talking head stuff as well as a comparison to the internal mic audio from my A74. Lmk what you think.

where did you get yours! Im trying to buy one and can't find a single one!

[@paulteelproductions1461]

I bought mine on Amazon when I preordered my camera back in November. I remember they were on back order forever before that. Good luck!

Cool intro but a bit too long.
