Vlogging Camera External Mic

The Ulanzi vlogging cage is perfect for attaching lense filters and an external mic and light with the cold shoes. My GoPro mic adapter sits nice and securely in the holder. Great Quality and very durable!

While the first RX0 was revolutionary, there were still many limitations that made it a tough sell for many hobbyist photographers. In order to get the best results, it required a pro set up (external recorder for 4K, as well as an external monitor to actually see what you were recording, and a gimbal to stabilize the footage). I know this because I shot a short film using only the RX0. Sony gave me the new RX0II to test out and heres what I think. Not only does this update address those issues for hobbyist filmmakers, it adds a flip out screen, making it IMO the ultimate camera for an entirely new sector of creators: vloggers. It literally fits in your pocket, is protected against water, dropping (even crushing), etc. If you can a dual mount and a handle that puts the mic off to the side, its still wayyyy lighter than even Sonys a6400, also great for vlogging.  If you have a main camera, and want the ultimate camera B for travel content creation or vlogging (heck, even the photos Ive taken on the RX0 are legit), this is a must have in the tool kit. Squeeze it into a tight space, hang it out the window, take it underwater, it kind of does it all, now in 4K internally. Like I said the original had some setbacks, but this one is a no brainer.

I use it as external mic for my camera and it works beyond expectations.

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

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.

This is a amazing mic. It does what I need for vlogging! It's worlds better then the built in mic on my Canon 80D

If you have the Media Mod then there's no need for a Mic Adapter to use External Mic. External Mic can be Plugged into the Media Mod as there is Slot available in the Media Mod to connect the external mic and it works perfectly alright.

Build quality like you would expect from Rode, a definite directional mic that rejects noise from the sides and the rear of the mic boom. Designed for TRRS jack on Android or iOS devices. You do need to use an App that understands it had input options, the switching to an external source is not automatically supported by the default apps, favors the internal mic of the device.. ignores the external. Plus is while it draws power from the Phone its already matched to whats available, no ground hum or other impedence problems. It is analog, but metal barrel around microphone shields it from RF interference. This is a cardiod, not Super cardiod for pulling in long distance sources but is as good as you could hope for from a non-boom mounted camera mic. It makes a distinct difference which you can see in a recording wave form or track display in an editor. Sensitivity is about 20 dBm greater than my Rode Podcaster which is already fantastic, but intended for close up voice recording at the end of the Podcaster screen. So yes it is a mini-shotgun mic. The dead cat wind fob/wind screen that comes with it reminds me of a Tribble from Star Trek.. but appropriately inanimate. Its certainly better and less intrusive than an NTG2 with a long reach boom in front of a subject.. but gets the job done and conveniently fits in your camera bag, without power source, amp and mixer.
