Never expected a knock-knock joke in a photo gear review. Made me laugh out loud. Thank you for the review. This mic is going to be the next purchase for my Sony A7C.
As a side note, I love that your doing this review. I can see you seriously growing your channel by reviewing all kinds of products that and along with your other awesome content. Very inspiring.
I appreciate that! It has been a fun journey. Premiere pro is a tough program to nail down. I've been trying davinci resolve lately. I struggle with editing. takes so much time.
Nice review. I did notice some clicky noise when you were inside showing and explaining what the buttons do. Not sure if it was mouth clicks or some type or artifact. MOO!
Nice catch. that was me being too close to my broadcast microphone that I used for the voiceover. I didn't hear it last night and then I heard it this morning. It is going to drive me nuts. Just shows how important sound can be. 😉
This is legit! I never like to take out my Rode Videomic Pro because of how large it is on top and obstructs my photographing process, but this thing looks nice and easy and tiny while still being pretty good! I'll have to consider it :)
It is a tiny little camera and it performed better than my Rode videomic NTG. I ordered 2 of them. no brainer. remember the power interface only works on sony.
Hi! It is real that this little mic sound better than you rode NTG? I’m considering to get one for nature and wildlife sound recording but now I’m really interest about this little mic
Ok.... I am sold. I have almost never used my camera for video (I dont have time to edit, so video is on my iphone for easy sharing), but after I got the Sony A1, I am starting to get hooked on the magic this camera does with video! And indeed, I do have microphones, but I almost never have a microphone around, ready to go when need it. This may actually do the trick! Ordering one straight away. Great review! Btw, loved the knock know joke!
Stumbled on your channel and now subscribed! Also just bought this mic. Very nice. Bad thing is now I’m getting hooked on audio for my birding and wildlife and now looking at the zoom f6. Bad idea? For wildlife and birds with the f6 do you recommend the rode ntg5? I figure buy once cry once. Look forward to your feedback. Now to pour over more videos
Thank you so much for amazing content !! Please suggest i need a mic for my android smartphone and insta 360 one r for vlogging purpose ..i have shortlisted Rode video mic pro plus Sony b10 (after watching your video now more interested 😝) you can also suggest any othrr option.
Is this an ad? I guess I ask because I looked for link and this item won’t be released until august but description says no gear was supplied. Love the bird calls.
Sony sent me the product and asked me to review it. I reviewed it and I sent it back. I did not get to keep the Microphone. However they have no input into this video.
Great Video as always Josh !!! You are so right about sound !!! I have Sony ECM-B1M a longtime now and I absolutely love it !!! Its so small, light easy to carry and like you said you never have to worry about power or wires. LIKE you I also have a drawer filled with microphones i bought lol .....On a side note for doing voice overs i recently bought the Neumann TLM 103 Microphone and the Antelope Audio interface/preamp that gives you tons of plugins, effects in real time no latency. Previously I was using the Rode-NT-usb mic ....what a difference in sound !!! Keep up the great work always enjoy your videos bud !!! 👍
Thanks brother. I ordered the B1M's to replace the Rode NTG video mics. I was so impressed. It was obvious when I switched back and forth. Congrats on the Neumann! That is the Rolls Royce of Microphones. I use the Shure SM7B with a DBX 286. I'm still trying to dial it it. I'm getting close.
The Sony ECM - B1M , I see negative reviews on it moving and messing the audio? Is this a major problem with that? Also if price wasn't a factor which mic would you get on a sony ev-10? The B1M or B10? Th difference in price where I live is $100 USD, the B1M being more expensive. The environments will be in the gym with dim light, not like pitch black, but not bright. Also in an apartment with well...apartment lighting lol. For my portable ( mobile ) mics I went with sync over rode mic bc the cost was $100 less and they came on a deal with a two way stand to put on a camera ( for say a light and mic ). So the $100 I saved from that I can put towards something else. Kinda my thinking if I have to. If I don't, then I don't.
I’m considering to buy a microphone that I can use for different situations. Would you pick this microphone instead of the rode ntg for nature and birds sounds ?
What an amazing device! Like you, I have about a dozen mics. Always aiming for better... And now I’m trying a Rode on-camera stereo mic for environmental audio, the DJI for dialogue. The search for perfect audio never ends.
It is a noble quest though. It makes such a huge difference when you nail it. My environmental device is the Zoom f6 with 2 rode NT5's. IT's a pain to set up but it is undoubtedly the best for getting beautiful nature sounds. I set it up when I find those really nice quite places.
@@BayouJosh Indeed it is. I’m taking a page out of Ben Horne’s book. His one-mic solution delivers very immersive results. He has a great video on the Rode VideoMic X.
Loved the 'knock knock' joke.... hehe.. great review. Just got this myself. Main reason is because I can change the pickup pattern which is a killer function.
Nice review! I bought the ecm-b1m but i lost it because it so compact that i didn't notice i left i behind a bench that i was sitting in. Now, is this one exactly have same performance as the ecm-b1m. What would you recommend us to buy, performance wise neverminding the price difference.
thanks so much for this informative video, i use to have a voice recorder for bird calls and songs, i know this is so much different, but i do take videos and if this can help to record better sound why not. just one question, does it work like this with other brands of cameras?
Unfortunately it does not work with other brands. You can get great sound with the road video Mike NTG as well. Just doesn’t have the different bandwidth.
Great video Josh !!! You are so right about sound. I had this mic for a while now and i absolutely love it. Like you i have a drawer filled with microphones i bought lol. This mic is so easy to bring in bag no wires, sounds great and never have to worry about powering it like you said. I recently invested also in better mic for doing the voice overs. I bought the Neumann TLM 103 microphone and the Antelope Core go interface/ preamp that gives you tons of realtime plugins and effects with no latency. I was previously using the Rode NT USB mic ...huge difference in sound. Keep up the great work bud always enjoy your videos !!!
with the device set to cardioid and full omnidirectional, I did hear some rumbles and dangles. I made a note of that in the video with the bird footage. However, when it was set to the shotgun version, those sounds when away.
Hey Josh - have you noticed any hit to battery life from the in-camera battery when using this? This would not be a deal breaker, since I keep a battery grip with 2 batteries loaded 95%+ of the time. I have the A7 IV, and battery life isn't as quite good as the previous A7 III. Seriously considering this for an upcoming trip to Khao Yai National Park in Thailand later this month (Nov. 19th). I'll be shooting mostly stills, but I really like the video performance out of the A7 IV and might just use this on my monopod (Leofoto MP-285C) mounted gimbal (Fotopro E-6H) on this trip. Space inside my carry-on is super limited, so the size and design of this looks really appealing as well. I really like the different pickup patterns, as we will be in some areas where the wildlife will be all around.
Does this have a noticeable effect on battery life? Also would you recommend this for wildlife filming, I know you did the nature test but would you choose this over the Rode mic pro? Thank Josh, love the video as always
That’s tough to say. I used it for about three days. 3-4 hours each day and I never changed the battery. I would give an edge to the Rode video mic NTG for farther out sounds but the Sony mic kills it in versatility. I ordered a couple of the 8 capsule versions that I suspect will be better at picking up sounds from farther away.
Seems like a nice Mic. I currently use the sennheiser mke400. For 200 bucks, it's solid and sound is great. Very versatile and small print compared to some of the Rodes. This also looks like a great run and gun tool.
I use the Sennheiser MKE 600 attached to my cage and plugged into my a7Siii. Awesome directional sound so I have no reason to ‘upgrade’. Great review though!! Subscribed👏
I can't get the mk400 to get half way decent audio on my a7siii. I've tried multiple settings in a number of different situations and have no idea what I'm doing wrong. It sounds muffled and has weird reverb.
I think it is time to change from my Deity microphone now. I have a trip coming up the end of July and hope they are available soon! Oh, I see you have ordered two. I'd be happy to buy one from you if you have a spare one.
From our briefing, it was just the number of capsules. You will get a little better sound from farther away on the ECM B1M. However, as you see from my test, the nature sounds from nearly 20ft away processed nicely through the ECM B10. I hope that helped.
It’s cheaper & smaller at the expense of less range for audio pickup away from the camera. I wouldn’t touch this microphone with a 10 foot stick. I have the Sony A1 & ECM-B1M setup and there is zero reason to downgrade for less range of audio pickup.
ECM-B1M is still going to deliver better audio than this newer & smaller counterpart. This release is for folks with ZV1 & little toy cameras like APS-C. For the Sony Alpha 1, the ECM-B1M is still the best in class
Enjoyed the video! I was wondering if you tested how prevalent is the sound from the shock mount thumping - especially when moving around. I know the B1M had some issues with a weaker performing shock mount and am hoping the lighter B10 performs better.
I did notice some thumping around. Definitely not as good as a dedicated shock mount. However, I don’t do a lot of run and gun. 90% of the time the camera is locked off on a tripod.
Did you by chance try the mic while holding the camera rather than on a tripod? I tried the previous ECM-B1M and ended up returning it because it picked up far too much camera handling noise even when using low cut so I went back to my trusty XLR-K2M.
Yup. Tried it in all configurations. What camera and lens are you using? I don’t even hear any camera noise with my ear much less a microphone from the Sony A1 or Sony A7iv.
@@BayouJosh Hmm interesting, I use a Sony A7S3 with a SmallRig cage and wooden handle along with a Sony 20mm F1.8 lens. I have no problem with that setup and the XLR-K2M but no luck with the ECM-B1M. Anyways I pre-ordered the ECM-B10 guess I'll see how that goes.
Hey Josh, first 2 things.... you made me think it was Friday.... and when you had your arms full of furry things I thought you had a serious rodent problem! It was a great review of your Sony gear and it sounds... pun intended that they will work great for you. Dang it it's Tuesday! Greg
Hi Carolyn. Things got busy at work and I spend my evenings relaxing a little bit. Slow season for me right now and I need to focus on some other things. I’ll be back. All is well though. Thanks for checking in.
@@BayouJosh I truly understand needing to relax. Making a video every week must have been very stressful. Glad to see you will be back but don't rush yourself. We want you to stay happy.
Looks and sounds like a very convenient mic. I'm definitely interested. Great video! And I'm stealing that knock knock joke :P. Off topic: is it fair to asume you're sponsored by Sony now? Maybe I missed a video where this was explained (switching from Nikon to Sony and all of that). Nothing wrong with that, of course. I'd like to know, though. Thanks!
Hey Josh, 2 things.... you made me think it was Friday! And your arms full of furry things I thought you had a serious rodent problem! A great review of the Sony mic. It sounds.... pun intended. Like it fits really well for your needs. Hot damn! Greg
Not interested....it’s not going to be able to outperform the ECM-B1M microphone. If you want best audio quality the original ECM-B1M will deliver it better than it’s smaller counterpart

Very helpful video. One question though - will it work on my older A7R1?
Bird songs sequence is amazing! But the most amazing is your wife!! What an actress 😂
To reduce/eliminate the bounce sound during a windy day and while walking, wrap a rubber band around the mount to stiffen it up, and Voila! Fixed.
Ok.... I am sold.

So true. Sound has been one of the most frustrating elements of making videos.
Hey Josh, have you notice less battery life on your camera, since it pully power from the camera battery?
I used it all day (4 hours maybe) on top of the A1 and I never changed the battery. I think the draw is very minimum.
Very good video, thank you
The b1m had horrific wobble sounds as soon as you moved the camera (low frequ. Rumbles and dangles whenever you moved). Did they fix that?
Same concern I have as I have read the same about the book
@@WillCaban yeah, i do currently own the b1m and love the size to just have it in the camera bag all the time, but its unusable
with the device set to cardioid and full omnidirectional, I did hear some rumbles and dangles. I made a note of that in the video with the bird footage. However, when it was set to the shotgun version, those sounds when away.
Hey Josh - have you noticed any hit to battery life from the in-camera battery when using this? This would not be a deal breaker, since I keep a battery grip with 2 batteries loaded 95%+ of the time. I have the A7 IV, and battery life isn't as quite good as the previous A7 III. Seriously considering this for an upcoming trip to Khao Yai National Park in Thailand later this month (Nov. 19th). I'll be shooting mostly stills, but I really like the video performance out of the A7 IV and might just use this on my monopod (Leofoto MP-285C) mounted gimbal (Fotopro E-6H) on this trip. Space inside my carry-on is super limited, so the size and design of this looks really appealing as well. I really like the different pickup patterns, as we will be in some areas where the wildlife will be all around.

Does this make the B1M obsolete? Just as good but in a smaller package?
I asked the same question and did not get a straight answer. I think the B1M will have a little more range. that's my understanding.

Good video, 😁 funny
Knock knock jokes are the best!
😀 Right! My wife is a goofball. I love her!
Looks and sounds like a very convenient mic. I'm definitely interested. Great video! And I'm stealing that knock knock joke :P.
Off topic: is it fair to asume you're sponsored by Sony now? Maybe I missed a video where this was explained (switching from Nikon to Sony and all of that). Nothing wrong with that, of course. I'd like to know, though. Thanks!
I sponsorship from Sony. I just enjoy their products and they have me on a list for new product reviews if I’m interested.
@@BayouJosh thanks for the reply, sir! I love y’all’s work, no matter what gear is in play. Thanks again!
Hey Josh, 2 things.... you made me think it was Friday! And your arms full of furry things I thought you had a serious rodent problem!
A great review of the Sony mic. It sounds.... pun intended. Like it fits really well for your needs. Hot damn! Greg
I do have a serious dead cat problem. 😂
That's for sure! Way funny.
Not interested....it’s not going to be able to outperform the ECM-B1M microphone. If you want best audio quality the original ECM-B1M will deliver it better than it’s smaller counterpart
I agree. After testing this one I ordered two of those. You’re the second person to tell me that. Thanks for the input.
