On compact camcorders, heavy shotgun mics can throw off the balance of the camera. This one keeps the rig easier to handle while still giving the crew a focused front-facing pickup pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe built-in low-cut filter is useful on real shoots. Air conditioning, traffic rumble, handling noise, and outdoor vibration can all creep into the low end. Having a simple low-cut option gives the operator one more way to keep location audio cleaner before it reaches the recorder or camera input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSystem Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMono shotgun design\u003c\/strong\u003e for direct production audio capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuper-cardioid pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e for reducing off-axis sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced XLR output\u003c\/strong\u003e for professional camera and audio system connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal DC 40 to 52V operation\u003c\/strong\u003e for standard powered audio workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded windscreen\u003c\/strong\u003e helps suppress wind and contact noise in harsher field environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat’s In The Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x ECM-VG1 Shotgun Electret Condenser Microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Windscreen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Stand Adaptor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Operating Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Mic Spacer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x Mic Holder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTrusted Seller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoremicro\u003c\/strong\u003e ships fast from the U.S. and supports production gear with a team familiar with real broadcast and field workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47293030793378,"sku":"ECMVG1","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/0860\/0738\/files\/SONY_ECMVG1.jpg?v=1783147993","url":"https:\/\/www.coremicro.com\/products\/sony-ecm-vg1-shotgun-electret-condenser-microphone","provider":"COREMICRO.COM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
