Sony ECM-M1 Shotgun Microphone
Loading product options
Introducing the latest addition to the beamforming microphone range and the world's first shotgun microphone with eight dial-selectable audio recording modes, Sony ECM-M1 Shotgun Microphone. Stunning digital shotgun audio, made versatile.
Sony completely redefines shotgun microphone performance with the ECM-M1's beamforming technology that provides the world's first1 eight dial-selectable audio recording modes in a compact microphone with outstanding versatility and audio quality.
Beamforming technology combines four discrete microphone capsules with precision algorithms, to maximise pickup sensitivity in the desired directions while reducing it in others. The result is an incredibly compact and versatile microphone with high performance even in challenging audio environments.
Simply turning a dial on the rear of the microphone allows easy, intuitive selection of pickup patterns, and a lock button in the centre prevents accidental changes. Other controls are also straightforward and easy to understand and operate.
The latest digital audio technology delivers stunning audio performance.
The ECM-M1 features a complete digital pathway, from beamforming control, to noise filtering and interfacing with the camera. The result is the clearest sound possible, for everything you capture.
Continuous background noise is effectively suppressed by a digital noise-cut filter for clear sound recording. A low-cut filter is also provided to reduce wind noise, the hum of air conditioning, and other low-frequency vibration noise. Suppressing noise at the recording stage reduces workload during post processing, enhancing overall efficiency.
The digital audio interface offers an all-digital signal path from microphone to camera, avoiding the noise and distortion associated with analogue transmission, and retaining the full benefit of the digital signal processing in the microphone.
The impressively compact size and light weight of the microphone make it incredibly versatile for a range of shooting, and a trusty addition to any gear bag.
The impressively compact size (length 64.4 mm3) and light weight (65 g3) give a high degree of shooting freedom and mobility. The microphone does not intrude when shooting selfies, or when using even a very wide-angle lens. The compact size also makes it easy to use with gimbals and grips.
The ECM-M1 provides controls that are easy to operate, with simple connection to compatible cameras.
The ECM-M1 is supplied with an effective fur-type wind screen, easily detachable, that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors.
On compatible cameras, while channels 1 and 2 record with the selected directivity pattern, channels 3 and 4 can make omnidirectional backup safety recordings at different sensitivities (–20 dB4 for channel 4).
Comprehensive, clearly marked controls make it easy to adjust and confirm all microphone settings at a glance for worry-free operation.
Multi Interface (MI) Shoe support allows battery- and cable-free shooting, allowing recording to start as soon as the microphone is attached to the MI Shoe on compatible cameras.
The ECM-M1 features a dust and moisture resistant6 design that allows reliable operation in challenging outdoor conditions.

Sony’s unique XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor increases the autofocus speed by up to 20%. Tracking performance for moving objects has also improved approximately twice as much compared to the previous model, so it continues to track the target subject with high accuracy. Whilst focus tracking performance during zooming has also been greatly improved . When paired with the flagship α1 body, it is possible to shoot high-speed bursts at up to 30 frames per second.
The FE 70-200MM F4 Macro G OSS II provides intuitive and secure operability that supports the photographers and videographers. In addition to a focus range limiter and a full-time DMF switch that instantly switches from AF to MF (manual focus), the detachable tripod mount included in the box provides a sense of stability during super-telephoto and macro shooting.
In addition, the front lens element features a fluorine coating, which makes it easy to remove fingerprints, dust, oil, and other contaminants from the lens surface. The dust and moisture resistant design provides extra reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions and expands the freedom of shooting.
