Sony ECM-VG1 Short Shotgun Microphone

The Sony ECM-VG1 is a supercardioid shotgun microphone designed for use with Sony camcorders and cameras equipped with a Multi Interface Shoe, offering a wired connection that draws power directly from the shoe without requiring batteries. Its supercardioid polar pattern provides focused directional pickup, reducing ambient noise and off-axis sound while capturing clean audio from the subject in front of the camera. The microphone covers a frequency response of 40Hz to 20kHz and includes a low-cut filter switch to minimize handling noise and low-frequency rumble. A -10dB attenuation pad is also available for recording in louder environments. The ECM-VG1 is built with a compact, lightweight profile suited to run-and-gun and documentary-style shooting where an on-camera audio solution is preferred.
