The Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone has significantly elevated my audio recording experience with the Sony ZV-E1, delivering crisp and clear sound. However, it’s crucial to note potential compatibility issues with certain cages, such as SmallRig.
Let’s start with the positive aspects. The ECM-B10 is a compact and powerful shotgun microphone that seamlessly integrates with the Sony ZV-E1, capturing audio with impressive clarity and reducing unwanted ambient noise. Its lightweight design complements the ZV-E1’s portability, making it an ideal choice for on-the-go videography.
Now, the caveat. Some cages, like SmallRig, may not have accounted for the use of an external microphone like the ECM-B10. This can lead to challenges in mounting the microphone securely, and users may need to explore additional solutions or modifications to make it work seamlessly with their setup.
Despite the potential cage compatibility concerns, the ECM-B10 itself is a top-tier microphone. Its direct connection to the ZV-E1 ensures a hassle-free recording experience, and the included windscreen is effective in reducing wind noise during outdoor shoots.
In summary, the Sony ECM-B10 Shotgun Microphone is a fantastic choice for enhancing audio quality on the Sony ZV-E1. However, potential compatibility issues with certain cages should be considered, especially if you plan to use accessories like SmallRig. Ensure you explore suitable mounting options to make the most of this excellent microphone in your videography setup.

Sound quality plays a vital role
The importance of audio
Viewers judge movies based on sound as well as vision, so don't overlook the importance of audio. High-quality sound provides a clear "voice" for you and your friends, while the dynamic sounds of animals and nature create vivid impressions.
Large-diameter, 14.6 mm microphone capsule
Wind screen for trouble-free outdoor shooting
The ECM-G1 comes with an easily detachable wind screen that can reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors under windy conditions.
Anti-vibration construction
The vibration-suppressing design of the ECM-G1 helps reduce minor bumps and mechanical noise, such as when focusing or zooming. When connected via Multi Interface (MI) Shoe, the cable-free setup eliminates any possibility of cable-transmitted vibration noise.
Capture clear, beautiful audio
Treat yourself to better sound
Whether you're shooting interviews, outdoor street scenes, or just quick updates for social media, adding a high-quality audio track will bring your creative work to life. The ECM-G1 provides sophisticated audio-capture capabilities that are well matched to your moviemaking needs.
Cable-free, battery-free operation via MI Shoe
Cable-free confidence
Connecting the microphone via a compatible MI Shoe means you don't have to worry about noise being transmitted mechanically through cable connections or cables getting in the way of your shot, for greater portability when shooting.
Battery-free convenience
When you attach the ECM-G1 to the MI Shoe of any of Sony's compatible cameras, power is supplied directly from the camera to the microphone. This lets you handle extended shooting sessions free of concerns about the microphone battery running out.
Microphone out jack compatible with many devices
Connect to your smartphone
Connect the ECM-G1 to your Xperia or other smartphone to produce vlogs with high-quality audio. The compact size makes it ideal for use with a smartphone.
Connect to your laptop or other device
A microphone out jack is provided on the side of the microphone. This can be used with cameras, PCs, IC recorders and other compatible devices that have plug-in power but do not have an MI Shoe. A recording cable is included.

Better than an internal mic but not great at picking up sounds more than a few feet from the camera.
