Hey Adam, what setting do you need to change in the camera?

[michaelpreston]

Absolutely excellent video. I was looking for a work around for my audio jack not working anymore after only a couple of uses on my 2020 Sony A7 III. This looks to be the answer I am looking for. Thanks for the very detailed review.

Can you talk about the loud sound the microphone makes from the shoe or the ball joint when vlogging- Its the only flaw I see on this mic- When you have the mic for a while, it starts making some noise like the ball joint is lose and it distorts your video heavily- some suggest you put a rubber around it as a hot fix. Thoughts?

Have you encountered the Sony ECM-B1M picking up the sound of the focus motors of your lens?

I’m using a Sony FE 1.4/24 GM lens which I thought was silent until I mounted this microphone right above it.

I bet it’s brilliant at capturing audio when doing macro work.

I’ve only just tried the mic for the first time, in a relatively quiet environment, but it seems super sensitive but everything below it, even when my fingers touch the tripod I can hear them thump.

Any suggestions on how I might fix this?

What is the hand held tripod that you use?

Can anyone convert analogue to digital in post processing for A7MIII

Honestly the RODE MIC that plugs in to the 3.5 mm jack was getting way better performance than this thing and that mic is only $99 Sucks to have a wire go into the jack but way better than this thing in terms of Auto performance.
