Sony Vlogger Microphone ECM-G1 | First Impressions

The Sony Vlogger Microphone ECM-G1 is an amazingly compact shotgun microphone, but just how well does it record audio? I picked one up and took it for a spin to see if it will replace my Rode VideoMic.

    Yeah I kept the microphone, i think it’s great in a pinch since I don’t really have to think about settings if I’m vlogging and talking to my camera at arm’s length and if the environment isn’t too loud

    I needed more time to figure out what different situations to record in and have those in its own video
