Sony ECM-XYST1M Stereomicrofoon

Can't say for 100% certain if the mic broke or if it's the hotshoe on my Sony A6000, but this spontaneously stopped working. Something was off from the start as the camera couldn't recognise the mic, but then it worked for a while. While it worked it sounded pretty good, certainly better than the built in mic, but it did pick up a lot of background hum from my PC. After it stopped working I tested it by plugging into the mic output jack, but that didn't function either, so pretty sure it's the mic that's broken. Pity about the poor quality control, because I would have kept this product.

All ok so far doesn’t cutout the wind completely, but helps

Having lost my camera and original microphone at a festival last year I had no hesitation in purchasing another one. Works straight out of the box and delivers beautiful sound post production. The wind muffler that is supplied is a God send. It kills wind noise completely which, when you're at a music festival is essential. A great product, well made and superb value for money.

There is a lot of hype over this mic especially for bloggers and vloggers. the Sony hot shoe certainly gives you a tidy set up with no wires but i cant say the sound was fantastic, the sound was fine. the range is about normal distance from the camera before you start to fade 8ft dependent on your voice of course, it is a stereo mic but you can adjust the mics performance in just a couple of ways. however again you need to check compatibility with your product and for more adjustment you will have to connect the wire if recording in analog. overall its an ok mic with a supplied dead cat ...or wind muffler which ever you want to call it, that also works ok but not brilliant im trying to find a better dead cat for it.

Great mic for filming live bands. Good clear sound easy to connect to camera Good solid construction. Recomended
