Great, thank you for reviewing. Daniel

Nice review as always. Keep it up. Long time fan.

Nice review appreciate the upload and share!

I’m getting this mic thanks great review absolutely amazing mic

you have some of the best reviews on KZread

I have this. Seems decent. The very narrow direct forward setting only works well when you are close.

Great review not just a P.T.C in a room. what is it like in the wind will it pick up a lot of Wind ?

I'm going to use this as my main shotgun mic on my FS7. I love the flexibility. Handling noise has always been a pain in the butt with my Sennheiser MKE 600 mounted on the FS7. I'm hoping this will be a better option. And the added option on the mic are a bonus.

Great video. Sound is amazing for outdoor recording.

awesome video man , great job

This is exactly the mic for my A7iv I was looking for.

THE AUDIO QUALITY IS SO GOOD

I need this!

Hi Jeven, great video and channel. I love finding what I want hear about on your channel. A question for you. With all these lovely Sony Microphones am I able to also use my Rode Wireless Pro at the same time? I have an older Sony XLR-K1M and whenever I plug it in it disables the camera microphone input which is really annoying. I’m thinking of getting a newer Sony microphone like this one reviewed but can’t find any info it will allow my rode to work at the same time. Thanks.

Very cool I might give it a try. .

this video deserves more views bro, i bought the mic 1 month ago and still don't know what it actually can do. Thank you! Now i do 👍🏻

how do you find it it in the wind ?@@JevenDovey

Thank you very much

Thanks for the great video - because of you I traded in my Sigma 24-70 Art lens & my 16-35 Sony Zeiss for the Sony 20-70 F4 and the ECM-M1 microphone. How do you balance the DJI RS Mini with the ECM-M1 on top of the camera? And is it possible to get those low briefcase handle shots with the ECM-M1 mounted on top of the camera?

Hey, great vid as always!! I've been watching you for years...I've got a quick question for ya. I just grabbed the M1 mic, when connected to my A74, there is a message on display "48k hz/ 24 bit 2ch" how the heck do I remove that? it's not fun to stare at. Thanks man!!!

Hiya, is there a list of compatible cameras that'll work with this? Thanks

Do you find yourself using the front and rear more or the stereo?

Hi, a little late but how does the G1 compare to the M1?

How does it sound when using something like an 85?

Is there some trick to detaching this mic? I use it on my a6700 and sometimes it's a fight to get it off.

What recording mode do you guys recommend for live music?

3 minutes in - learnt so much! Boring, but VERY informative video! Sounds crazy to say out loud - but it's better than most "content" videos put out.

Wow, the clarity is amazing 🎉bravo 👏

from the video I see they haven’t improved the mount system so I wouldn’t recommend this for vlogging you would still hear the mic bottoming out when you’re walking…I’ve tried all these types of mic from Sony… don’t get me wrong the sound qualities from these mics are good just not the mount system.

When I plug the ECM-M1 into the Sony ZV-E1 and then try and access the audio record levels monitor. It says this mic is not compatible with this feature? I have the four little bar Audio displays on the main screen but it can be hard to see as they are so small. On the internal mic it allows you to see the larger audio monitor level meter. Are you having the same issuer? seems crazy that a new mic is not compatible with their latest cameras? really weird!! hope you can help. Great videos as always.

Not too much difference between the medium and wide cone setting?

There is a difference. Medium is for a group of 2-3 people and the wide setting is like 180 degrees in front of camera

Can you do a comparison against ECM-B1M? Which one is better? B1M has 8 microphones and 3 sound stages. M1 has only 4 microphones but 8 sound stages. Which one is better in sound?

What is your favorite microphone for talking head videos ?

How would you rate it against the ECM-B1M which I have. I presume it's not worth spending the money just for a few more directional options.

Both are good. Just depends on what you need

Love the directional controls. Not sure if you can answer this, but how would you rate the Stereo setting, compared to something like the Sennheiser MKE-440?

@@henrystravelcorner7090 having just heard the difference first hand this past week between the Sony ECM-M1 & the Sennheiser MKE-440, the Sony does not even come close. The Sennhesier is light years better differentiating the sounds from Left to Right, Right to Left. Probably because of the 2 fangled forward facing mics, rather than a left/right mice set up as is on the top of the Sony. Maybe @JevenDovey can add something to this. As an overall Mic, I would say the Sony would be better for most people, but if solely wanting ambient ester sounds, such as fighter jets passing, the MKE-440 will be better.

I think I'm more excited about this mic than anything else Sony announced lately...

Agreed, the two channel split mode is a no brainer and makes this a much more flexible tool! I do wonder though if the shock mount is any good. Unfortunately it wasn't tested in this video (great video though Jeven!) and I know the shock mount was the main complaint on some of their other microphones when shooting handheld and on the move. If anyone has tested it out let me know!

The sound in this video sounds much better than most reviews of the M1 I’ve seen. I wonder what the difference is.

How much post-audio you had to do?

This is only the 2nd review I’ve seen so far. Both I have to say are very sibilant. Those highs and “S” are way boosted. I think that would lead to ear fatigue?

A little tweaking in your edit software will fix this. I didn’t do any editing to the audio because I wanted you to hear what I got straight from camera, however, normally I’d do a little tweak in post to make it sound even better

I ordered this with my A6700. I hope it comes soon. I hear it's supposed to come out in Friday. You sound great. I wonder if it can have more bass. Another video where they were reviewing this mic sounded tinny. The sound like strips the bass away from your voice. It feels somewhat unnatural. It produces a great sound but I like it when mics are a bit heavier on the bass than the DJI Mic and this mic.

Fantastic review. It looks like a great mic with some cool and useful features and the sound quality is amazing. It would be perfect it it had an option to connect to an iPhone (or android) with and adapter cable like the Rode VideoMic Go II USB-C to lightning. Because of that, I don't think I can justify another mic. Perhaps if Sony would make it an option on the next gen. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Best review ive yet seen. Concise and comprehensive. What do you think is the maximum practical distance between mic and subject?

7:07 Stereo mode

Thanks for the demo. Not only the direct connect is a nice feature for the Sony Mics but I always think using the same brand as my a7IV camera will have hidden benefits for the sound quality. Or am I just a hopeless romantic?

Does ur dead cat on it also looks a Bit greenish instead of grey? XD

I havent seen you for a while. You got weight bro.

Very user-friendly mic, but it doesn’t _sound_ great, but perhaps that’s the setting or some artifact of processing. Not a natural sound, very sibilant, kinda bright; I would love to hear it compared to other mics.

Industry leading in it's control of pickup patterns. It solves a major problem regarding which mics to have with you and the time it takes to change them or otherwise be limited to the pattern of the mic you have with you. I'm curious about the sound quality compared to Sony's longer MI shotgun mic as well as how it compares to some of the more typical shotgun mics one might use otherwise.

I gather it doesn't work on an iPhone, correct?

Very nice review, thanks! Looks like it has the same shock mount system from the ecm-b1m and b10. It still looks like a great versatile mic. Just the price… I will stay with Sony ecm-b10, for me it sounds the best and is much cheaper.

just get a DJI mic
