    Nice work man! Would have loved to hear a comparison versus Sony ECM-B10

    I just got one and have it hooked up to a GoPro. The clean, directional sound is wonderful and works well with a GoPro as it is small and light.

    Wish they'd do a D4 Duo-style bi-directional microphone

    Is this primarily focused for vlogging, voice that's close proximity?

    According to Sony Hong Kong technical support department when the a7c2 connects to the ecm-g1 microphone, it can only use analog input. If you use a7c2 with other higher-end microphones, you can use digital input or analog input. So when g1 connect to a7c2, there is no fully automatic audio leveling function. However, on other Sony camera models such as the a74, the camera can continue to use digital input and use the fully automatic volume leveling function. Regarding this issue, I sent three emails to Sony's technical support department in Hong Kong, China and Japan. Reflecting my dissatisfaction, why do the same microphone have different reactions in different camera models. I use the a7c2, a relatively entry-level camera, because I hope that using an entry-level microphone, I can adjust the volume completely automatically, without having to spend time manually adjusting the volume.

    is ECM-G1 offer a fuller / better sound for ambient / wildlife sounds than built in mic on sony 7iv ? Thanks !

    Nice! I'm honestly surprised by how good the a7iv internal mics. Should anyone use them in a professional setting? Ideally not. But I wouldn't exactly. call the stereo mics built in to be "unusable"

    I think the internal mics of the A7IV sound extremely good. So much so that the tiny mic with it's weird quirks is not really necessary. I actually prefer your voice from the internal mics better than the ECM-G1. Thanks for the great video.
