- Join Nick as he discusses the specs, tests out and compares three of the Sony ECM shotgun microphones: the ECM-G1, ECM-B10 & ECM-B1M. See how these three mics sound when filming on the busy and noisy streets of New York City, as well as how they compare to each other!
The Sony ECM-G1 Ultracompact Camera-Mount Vlogger Shotgun Microphone is an on-camera microphone optimized for the content creator, as its small size and vibration-suppressing design will work in a variety of situations. bhpho.to/3ywNRZB
The Sony ECM-B10 Compact Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone was designed for content creators, podcasters and videographers, as it captures crystal-clear speech, interviews, ambience, or nature sounds. It features three selectable pickup patterns: super, uni and omnidirectional. bhpho.to/3MXHV0R
Lastly, the Sony ECM-B1M Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone is equipped with eight high-performance mic capsules and advanced digital signal processing, providing three selectable directivity patterns (supercardioid, cardioid and omnidirectional) for a wide range of shooting and recording situations: bhpho.to/2LVeJvD

Which of these Sony microphones do you think is the best?
c10@1972 yellów
B1m sounded the best. And the thing is that B1m and B10 cost the same right now in India. And I was just confused which one to buy, going with B1m for sure now.
will these mics work with the MI shoe on the FX6?
B1M sounds fuller than B10. Definitely go for that.
Just the video I needed. Thank you so much.
Fantastic video! Really helped with my decision making... Thank You so much for making it! :)
The ECM-B10 dial is for audio level on manual mode.
Nice video. Too bad I haven’t been able to buy the b1m for months 😞
ECM-G1 audio was quite poor I thought, I'd not be happy with that. The B10 was much much better. The noise cancellation I'd only consider for emergencies as it's quite annoying to listen to on headphones. Probably OK on a phone for playback. The B1M was night and day better than the others. So I know now, I need the B1M.
Curious to know how the B1M compares next to the XLR system that Sony offers. What would you choose and why?
great comparesion, I think the new B10 handle background noise better and crisper sound
Useful video for me as I am considering two of these for my A7IV for some NYC travel 4k video. Are any of these "weather sealed"?
No, non of these Sony Mics are weather sealed.
Sheesh...why add warp stabilizer to A-roll? Looks so wobbly! But great video! I got the message:)
why does the A74 have sucvh warpy vlogging footage? What setting were you using? Looks like wrap stabilizer gone wrong :/
Otherwise, thanks for the comparison, looking at the ECM-B1M
Why was the video all wobbly during the outdoor test?
Doesn't the B1m have that clinging sound issue from bouncing around. I looked at reviews and that seems to be the negative. Also did you put this in catalyst browse?
What about the New M1 mic? I'm trying to decide which to get for my new a6700. I mostly shoot photos but started shooting home/family videos of my 10 month old son. Use case is indoor/outdoor of mostly him between 4 and 10 feet away. Any suggestions?
Love the video. So I have the a7riii and the digital audio is not listed for the B10, so is the B1 a better choice then?
Both the Sony ECM-B10 and ECM-B1M are listed as fully compatible mics for the A7Riii
Thanks for the comparison! Wind noise seems louder on the B1M. Did you use the supplied deadcat in both cases?
Yes, we did use the supplied deadcats while recording the audio from each microphone.
Will the digital audio work with a a7sii
hello, what mic did you use to record this video? The sound is the best on that one :)
Looks like Sennheiser MKE2. I have two of those with wireless transmitters. Solid
According to Sony Hong Kong technical support department when the a7c2 connects to the ecm-g1 microphone, it can only use analog input. If you use a7c2 with other higher-end microphones, you can use digital input or analog input. So when g1 connect to a7c2, there is no fully automatic audio leveling function. However, on other Sony camera models such as the a74, the camera can continue to use digital input and use the fully automatic volume leveling function.
Regarding this issue, I sent three emails to Sony's technical support department in Hong Kong, China and Japan. Reflecting my dissatisfaction, why do the same microphone have different reactions in different camera models.
I use the a7c2, a relatively entry-level camera, because I hope that using an entry-level microphone, I can adjust the volume completely automatically, without having to spend time manually adjusting the volume.
Thanks for posting this video! I have the B1M and wondered what the new B10M offered. This clears up my confusion! I’ll be sticking with my B1M for sure!
Agreed. All of the B10/B1M comparison videos show B10 having thinner sound.
5:14 what's wrong with the A74 footage? I've never seen A74 IBIS wobble being this bad.
👍
I guess all three directional pickup modes on the B10 and B1M are in mono eh?
A question, can it be used on the Sony Grip !!! Using the sony Xperia Pro 1 with Vlog monitor 😊

I got the G1, because its size and simplicity. Unfortunately, when it's bouncing around, there is a very loud noice, so unless the camera is still the audio is almost useless.
Now the question is, do I keep it, do I get rid of it, or do I upgrade. Difficult decision.
Is the ECM-B10 compatible with the FX30 with the extra digital and analog options?.. i dont think i saw it was mentioned
No, this BCM-B10 will not work with the FX30, the mic is only compatible with the Alpha series cameras.
it is
it is
G1 appearance is really appealing, would be great for gimbal use. But after hear it, I do no think I will buy it. B10 sounds good and still smaller than B1M.
Hi, I like your background. How can I get that?
We have a lot of options for backdrops. Check out what we have here: bhpho.to/3RLsyOq

Wow that ev10 rollin shutter is unwatchable
The ECM-G1 sounds awful. Quite disappointed since its compact size was what made it so tempting for an upgrade

G1 is best paired with ZV-1 because B10 and B1M are not compatible with ZV-1.
I am not sure for the difference
How about letting ups HEAR the mics. At least use them while you are talking. Oh and skip the music. This is a video about microphones. I stopped after 2 minutes.
