    Super-cardioid pickup for front-focused audio capture

    Capture sound in front of the camera and suppress ambient noise

    The super-cardioid characteristics of the ECM-G1 are ideal for vlogging and other productions where you want to concentrate on sounds coming from the front of the camera, while suppressing ambient noise, echo and voice reverberation.


    Small and lightweight, for excellent portability

    Small enough to stay out of your way

    Compact, unobtrusive design

    At less than 50mm (1.97 inches) in length and 34 grams (1.4oz) in weight, the ECM-G1 is highly portable to bring along to any shoot location. The clever design has no dangling cables, remaining clear of both viewfinder use and your framed shot, even when using wide angles lenses – making it ideal for tight vlogging shots.

    Small enough to stay in place

    Leave your microphone attached and ready to use at a moment's notice

    The unit is light in weight (34 grams / 1.2 ounces) and super-compact in size (48.5mm / 2 inches). This provides flexibility and mobility when you're shooting – so much so that there's no need to detach and reattach it between shoots. The back of the microphone won't touch your forehead when you're looking through the viewfinder, and setup is easy even with gimbals and grips.


    Cable-free, battery-free operation via a MI Shoe

    Cable-free confidence

    Connecting the microphone via a compatible MI Shoe means you don't have to worry about noise being transmitted mechanically through cable connections or cables getting in the way of your shot, for greater portability when shooting.
