Sony ECM-B1M Shotgun Microphone Review

I recently purchased the Sony ECM-B1M digital shotgun microphone for the Alpha ecosystem.

The benefits of this microphone are:
1. The input is purely digital audio
2. The controls are physical on the microphone (so you don’t have to change settings in the menu).
3. The hot shoe connection eliminates the need for a 3.5MM wire.

Take a look at the video to listen to the different sound settings.

This video is NOT a promotion or ad. I was not paid for the video nor was I given a sample device to test (I paid for this out of my own pocket).

Comica BoomX-D Wireless Mic Review

A B&H Holiday gift guide turned me on to Comica’s BoomX-D wireless mic set.

The BoomX-D comes with one receiver, two wireless mics, 2 lav mic attachments, two dead-cats for outdoor wind reduction, and all the cables you need.

Once I figured out the settings, the sound was pretty good… actually better than good. The wireless option also had great range and I was able to move away from the receiver (and go to a different floor) without losing a connection or audio quality.
