- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 February 2024Style Name: ECMB10.CE7Verified PurchaseThe Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone has significantly elevated my audio recording experience with the Sony ZV-E1, delivering crisp and clear sound. However, it’s crucial to note potential compatibility issues with certain cages, such as SmallRig.
Let’s start with the positive aspects. The ECM-B10 is a compact and powerful shotgun microphone that seamlessly integrates with the Sony ZV-E1, capturing audio with impressive clarity and reducing unwanted ambient noise. Its lightweight design complements the ZV-E1’s portability, making it an ideal choice for on-the-go videography.
Now, the caveat. Some cages, like SmallRig, may not have accounted for the use of an external microphone like the ECM-B10. This can lead to challenges in mounting the microphone securely, and users may need to explore additional solutions or modifications to make it work seamlessly with their setup.
Despite the potential cage compatibility concerns, the ECM-B10 itself is a top-tier microphone. Its direct connection to the ZV-E1 ensures a hassle-free recording experience, and the included windscreen is effective in reducing wind noise during outdoor shoots.
In summary, the Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone is a fantastic choice for enhancing audio quality on the Sony ZV-E1. However, potential compatibility issues with certain cages should be considered, especially if you plan to use accessories like SmallRig. Ensure you explore suitable mounting options to make the most of this excellent microphone in your videography setup.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2023Style Name: ECMM1.CE7Verified PurchaseThis microphone is just amazing, for the money you are getting some serious technology packed into a super-compact device. There is obviously onboard DSP running very clever algorithms that do an astounding job at noise cancelling for all the relevant modes (of which there are plenty.) The actual audio quality of the mic itself is excellent, I've recorded everything from run and gun interviews (figure of 8) to orchestral concerts (in Omni) this mic is just brilliant for the money.... and it's tiny..... Thank you Sony!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 June 2024Style Name: ECMM1.CE7Verified PurchaseSeems OK I was in two minds at first to return it as it’s very expensive, and I was surprised how quiet I sounded talking to camera from just a few feet away. However, it’s better than the internal mic and has some clever electronic processing. So I think it’s decent but not brilliant.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2023Style Name: ECMG1Z.SYUVerified PurchaseLooks great and better still records great sound! No wires (unless you have a camera that’s not compatible with the interface hot shoe.) Not cheap but I think you get what you pay for both for sound, quality and convenience.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2024Style Name: ECMM1.CE7Verified PurchaseWhen it first came I thought I made a mistake but the audio quality is so crisp. And the fact you can use this with 4 channel setup in the settings gives you an extra 2 channels of safety meaning you can film more and worry less. Perfect microphone for general use.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2024Style Name: ECMM1.CE7Verified PurchaseI have tried pretty much every other on-camera mic solution and so can say with confidence that this is the new king of microphones
I did so much research on this mic before buying, and bought it fully expecting to send it back but no chance. This microphone is quite simply incredible
If you're thinking about it - buy it - try it. You'll see
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2024Style Name: ECMM1.CE7Verified PurchaseProduct came before I had to leave for a paid gig, used it during the gig and reviewed the footage. Footage sounds amazing and the item is easy to use.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2024Style Name: ECMG1Z.SYUVerified PurchaseNot sure about this one, overall would prefer a lav mic because audio just wasn't loud enough and background noise was an issue. If I was better at setting up and optimising the audio in software It may have been better as I am no master, but straight out of the box and raw audio was not for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a vertical mic!
Style Name: ECMM1.CE7Verified PurchaseAs a professional wedding videographer, I'm loving this new mic from Sony. The ability to change the direction of the audio capture, from front, to back to wide to narrow right through to stereo is fantastic. Its like I have 2 mics in 1. On top of that, its so small that I can put it on my gimbal camera without it putting my gimbal out of balance.
It comes with a wind shield and both digital & analogue connection options. - my tip is to use the supplied connector cap when storing the mic, as I've had damaged the fine pins on the digital connectors on previous digital mic connections.
This mic is a no brainer if you want an all in one solution for your Sony camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Micrófono de mucha calidad
Style Name: ECMM1.CE7Verified PurchaseEs un micrófono increíble, que va a mejorar tus videos de manera brutal, tiene muchos modos para captar el sonido, se escucha muy nítido, muy recomendable, tienes que tener en cuenta que no te servirá para cámaras que no sean Sony ya que tiene la zapata especial Sony, es muy caro, pero si puedes será el compañero perfecto para una Sony Alpha 7 IV, está a otro nivel de los micros incorporados en la cámara. Es muy polivalente por todos los modos de captura que tiene, lo recomiendo.
