Sony Microphones A7IV, FX3, FX30, ZV-E1...

These are some of the microphones that will pair really well with your sony camera through the multi interface hot shoe. I love these microphones and the quality the bring.
The ability to just plug it directly into the MI hot shoe is game changing. No cords, no batteries, no forgetting to turn it on and with the ECM-B1M and B10 you can have automatic levelling.

You’re totally a Sony fan boy. Cmon man. That’s why I like you!!! 😅😅😅😅

[@andyescapes]

"not a sony fan boy" come on jason 😆appreciate the time you put into this helpful video!

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

I’m a Sony fan man. Surely I’ve upgraded from a boy 😂

[@kevinhoctor62]

Once I moved up from my Sony ZV-1 to the FX30, I bought the ECM-B10. My wife and I are full-time travelers and the small size of this Sony mic paired with the quality sold me. I also use the voice isolation in FCP, which gives us great quality audio for our KZbin channel. This is an excellent review of the Sony mics, but people should be warned that the ZV-1 doesn’t support the digital connection.

[@CoachBay]

Good review! All my videos are outdoor and I use the FX30 with the B1M. Love the combo!

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Good choice 👏🏽

[@jaredmeche6325]

Would really like to see Sony come up with a hot shoe mic accessory that allows you to relocate their hotshoe mics to a coldshoe mount on cage or somewhere on top handle if you're rigged up.

[@benhnamte]

Exactly my question.. if we dont have the Audio handle how would we attach it to the camera with Top handles attached? No way to do that?

[@ryana.miller8260]

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like the XLR-K3M comes with such a cable that goes into the camera hot shoe, and would allow to relocate the XLR setup.

[@jaredmeche6325]

@@ryana.miller8260 Yeah, think I came across it.

[@noahmonte8581]

There is one

[@StirfriedGerman]

Great comparison, thanks ! They all don't sound great to be honest, the B10 is still decent while the Bluetooth kit sounds just as poor as the transmission technology would suggest with its limited bandwidth. FOr the money, you can do a lot better, minus convenience of course. I don't know about the preamps on higher end Sony cameras, but my A7IV sounds pretty average, my ZV-E10 worse. I don't own one anymore but Lumix tend to sound a lot better, there's no default high pass and the limiter can be entirely turned off. So Lumix for audiophiles, Sony for AFC and AI

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

That’s where recording audio externally is always the best option

[@penfex]

Excellent, well thought out and presented video - thanks for taking the time to put it together :)

[@HunterDuBois]

Need to watch that 50mm video asap :( Love your stuff Jason! Keep it up !

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you 🙏

[@jer3006]

Jason, thanks for differentiating these Sony mics. Mics seem to be the necessary video element that, no matter which one/s you buy, you end up thinking you chose wrongly and need another one. 🤔😜

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Haha hopefully this video will help that 😂

[@PaulFeinberg]

I use a b1m on the go and the K3M in the studio just so good! Great video and overview, I have always wanted to do this breakdown lol 😂

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Oh both awesome set ups 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@ClareFPV]

Fantastic video mate. Amazing mics from Sony.

[@ParsclickTV]

i like this mic but i dont get it why SONY doesn't built this mic in the camera? why do we have to buy a mic separately?

[@quiztasiarocks]

Hey Jason, would love it if you could test the Sanken CS-M1 mic someday.

[@CC-gt3ro]

Good hard work. However you forgot to test them by walking with it. Some Sony Mic make sounds or capture body finger movement. You also forgot to trst the Azden smx-30 which beat all these microphone. It is real mono with the shotgun mic directional and capable to remove side sound AND it is also stereo to record music with auto on/off, +20/0/-10, filter. It has also a absorber of shock so you can manipulate the camera without recording the sounds of the body. It is much more heavy though than these small Sony and Rode mic. But it is better quality to my opinion, and you need the stereo cable, it is not digital. It could be less practical on the gimbal.

[@geekcommentator8567]

awesome video as always. I own the B1M and I love it. Though, if that lav system had a usb c charging port, I honestly might have pounced on that first. Obviously, an adapter is an easy fix, but I’m all about that convienience. Hoping a v2 will come out with the usb c port 🤷‍♂️

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

B1M is so good

[@DomoflixzCo]

I watch the mess out of these informational videos! thx

[@VerrilloTrading]

Do yourselves a favour and go with Rode, these people know how to make microphones. ECM-B1M is an atrocity especially indoors and picks up noise from the auto focus system on my 35mm Sony GM lens. No auto focus noise is being picked up by the Rode Videomic NTG, I exchanged the B1M for this one. NTG is way more versatile, you can watch Curtis Judd’s review on it. Indoors, a mic mounted on top of the camera sounds bad, boom it over head.

[@40s]

Used my smaller Rode to record some audio on my computer the other day. Cable free is another word for cable devoid. Proprietary for the L

[@CC-gt3ro]

My Azden smx-30 is better than the Rode. And it works perfectly on top of the camera, or in a pole for cinema work. It is shotgun mono directional which can remove effectively side sound. With several angle. It is also Stereo for music with +20/0/-10, filter, auto on/off, and battery with two cover, foam and wind fur for studio/outside.

[@pancakelens75]

My Rode Videomicro won’t work with my A7IV

[@LocalsandTravellers]

I had a lot of issues with the Rode. They are great when they work, but I had 3 units. Quality control is horrible and the first one I received was dead on arrival. Second one died after 1 month.

[@kalkydra]

Great vid. Is there the possibility to use the Sony ECM-B1M and Sony ECM-W2BT combined with the FX30?

[@SteveWB]

I love using the Deity D4 Duo when vlogging with my kids.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Ahh yes D4 duo is great

[@BeforeWeGoYT]

YOu said never use in camera mics but what about the sony ZV e1 on board mic

[@jameso7042]

Hey Jason, Where do you get your company branding clothing from? Really love the clothing! I am needing some for my brand

[@Opulentvlog]

hey Jason I have heard dat the ECM b10 and other mics of Sony picks up noise from the shock mount movement Is it true ? How bad is it ?

[@AlexKim-po5lx]

Hi Jason, do you record your videos on a stereo or mono microphone?

[@hwoccurrence]

Are you able to use the Sony XLR-K3M with a cage? Also, are you able to balance a camera with it on top to a gimbal?

[@BuiltInception]

Are we not missing the cafe sounds rejection using ecm-b10? I watched the section twice just to see if maybe the title was wrong on those or if it was in fact skipped. Really wanted to see that vs the ecm-b1m since they are so similar.

[@virtualtourpa]

me too! haha. I was leaning towards the ecm-b10, but then realized I never heard how it dealt with the "cafe noise".

[@zackarylumpkin3080]

i keep thinking about the XLR-K3M but its a little out of my budget how much better is the XLR-K3M vs just hooking Zoom H4n pro directly into the camera so i can still use my shotgun mic in my home studio?

[@MrPashee]

Hi Jason. Does these mics record omni track as ECM-M1 can?

[@TUFFBASS]

Ecm b1m vs the new ecm m1? Thoughts?

[@nebulabass]

Is the ECM -b1m compatible with the FX 30? I don't see it on the Sony website.

[@tmoneymanly]

Is that a lens mounted ring light in the thumbnail? Name or link?

[@VisionOneCreatives]

People complain about the ECM-W2BT being really hot and clipping. How did you manage that and make it sound better? Any tips that you can offer? I ordered one for the form factor being able to be away from the camera while still getting better audio.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

I set the levels to -20db on the transmitter and then tweak the audio in camera

[@OrcaAngler]

im new to my zve1 just as fishing vlog is b10m enuf for me? im so tempting to buy the new one ecm-m1

[@Muwa6]

I commented on of your earlier video, if you use the eb1m or 10 where would you attach the mini top handle grip or a cage for the Sony a74 as they will be attached into the same place Thank you for all the information

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

That’s where I don’t choose that device with a top handle. You would have to get a different mic or record externally.

[@RobustArid379]

Does the b1m work on the camera zv1?

[@Slipsch]

Can you share what filter you use for your youtube video?

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Which filter? Mist? Be the tiffen pro mist

[@Slipsch]

@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Yeahs, how many stops are you using? 1/4 stop?

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

@@Slipsch it is 1/8

[@Slipsch]

@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Thanks for sharing. I used to use the glimmer glass but now I just use the texture pop in DaVinci Resolve. I find that I can get that analog softness by increasing fine details while decreasing the coarser detail sliders.
