Good Vlogging Camera With Mic Input

Works for vlogging really well. Good mic to start out with

Good rugged cable, I use it to connect a shotgun mic on the top of my camera to the XLR input. Good sound quality.

Great camera for family video. Simple to use, good quality video, and the external mic input is a great plus! Note -- do not purchase the Edit 100 Camera Bag which is listed as a recommended accessory. This bag is too small!

Great for a prosumer camera to mixer using the mic input on the camera. Great quality.

This is a great microphone for vlogging, especially on a smaller, mirrorless camera. I use this mic with my Sony a6400. I use a smallrig cage setup, so it doesn’t block the flip up screen. I really like this mic for vlogging because you don’t have to worry about turning it off and on, or dying because it doesn’t take a battery. Small & compact, but very effective. B&H got my order to me within 24 hours too. All in all, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and can’t wait to make more purchases through B&H

Was looking for a vlogging camera that can be taken on the road and had a fold-out screen. After about several weeks of research, I settled on this kit - camera, mic, gimbal, and vlogging kit. This has been a great upgrade from the GoPro Hero 7. The camera, mic, and grip are not too heavy to carry and film for extended hours. The fully articulating screen is nice and I like the fact that it folds out allowing you to still use the hot shoe (cameras with a flip-up screen block the hot shoe limiting your use of an external mic, or anything else you would want to attach to the hot shoe). One recommendation - get the zv1 handle grip r055 (Amazon) for this camera if you will be using it on the Bluetooth grip. The tripod screw hole is very close to the battery cover door. When the camera is on the Bluetooth grip, the battery and memory card are inaccessible because the grip covers the battery cover door. With the additional handle grip you will be able to get to the battery and memory card without removing the camera from the Bluetooth grip. The handle grip does add a little extra weight, but not too much where it becomes too noticeably heavy. Aside from this minor design issue, the camera, with this vlogging kit, is a must for any vlogger on the go!

Sounds great and would work perfect for vlogging. However, when talking from behind the camera it does not pick up very well. This is a great mic for anyone who wants to record just the audio right in front. The sound is nice and crisp especially with the high pass filter and gain settings.

I bought three Sony ZV-1. That explains everything. For YouTube, vlogging, especially for travel when you want to go light, this is an excellent choice. I shoot 1080 only. Don't want to deal with 4K, large files, etc. 1080P for online consumption is good enough in my opinion. And this little one, boy oh boy it delivers. Put a small wireless mic and voila you look like a pro. Set it in Intelligent video and if you're a novice, will work fine. I've once forgot to plug in the wireless mic cable , so everything was recorded with the camera's internal mic. Didn't realize it till the shoot was over. I could tell the sound was not as good as the external mic, but was good enough for me to decide not to reshoot. In a pinch the internal mic. works surprisingly good, will save the day. Again I love the size of this little Sony and the quality of the image is real good. Well the Zeiss lens is great no doubt about. Again if you're vlogging, put content on Youtube, social media, travel, this is it. This thing is barely bigger then a credit card and much smaller than my phone. Has a 1 inch sensor, which does pretty good in low light also, much better than any phone that's probably $1200 or even more. Good for B roll. Conclusion. Get it!

Can be used for a camera or phone. Works well for vlogging on Youtube. Good build quality.

When you want to make the right connection between the mic and the audio input to your camera or audio mixer, this is something you want to be able to pull out of your bag.
