The black Sanken COS-11D Omni Lavalier Microphone with Reduced Sensitivity and Universal TA5F Connector for Lectrosonics Transmitters is a subminiature lav microphone designed to deliver clear, full-bodied sound and reliable performance, making it a popular choice among industry professionals in broadcast, TV, theater, film, videography, and more. 

Engineered to meet the standards of modern digital wireless microphone systems, the COS-11D is RF shielded to eliminate interference issues and ensure a pristine audio signal. The microphone capsule features a rectangular design that sits vertically, increasing the surface area and allowing this tiny mic to offer a rich, full sound that outperforms many larger models.

The mic's 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response rolls-off extreme low end and provides accurate, transparent audio reproduction with a small presence boost in the 6 kHz area for crisp, intelligible speech. With a forgiving omnidirectional polar pattern that picks up sound in a 360° pattern, levels stay consistent, even when the subject turns away from the mic.

A water-resistant mesh screen protects against humidity, perspiration, makeup, bad weather, and other potential on-location issues, while the durable cable is also moisture-resistant and built to stay soft and pliable, even after extended use. This version of the COS-11D terminates in a universal TA5F connector that is wired for use with both servo-bias and non-servo-bias Lectrosonics transmitters. A metal windscreen, holder clip, rubber mount, and plastic case are included.

Q: 3. I don't understand all the discussion about APS-C E mount crop sensors. So, will my Sony E 4.5-6.3/55-210 OSS lens for my A6000 work the same on this camera?

A: The Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS Lens will work on the Sony a7C Mirrorless Camera, but not in the same way it works on a camera with an APS-C size image sensor, like the a6000. The a7C automatically crops the sensor to APS-C size when an APS-C lens is mounted on it. So image taken with the 55-210mm lens on the a7C will not be full-frame images; they will be APS-C size images.

Q: 4. Does this have the same battery as the A7RV?

A: Yes the Sony A7C uses the Sony NP-FZ100 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery which is the same as the battery used in the A7RV and several other cameras.

Q: 5. is this possible to change white balance while recording?

A: Unfortunately, no, you cannot manually adjust the white balance in the middle of video recording.

Q: 6. Will a future firmware upgrade bring the new touch screen menu system (like a7S III) to the a7c?

A: No, the Sony a7C Mirrorless Camera is not expected to get the new touch menu system. That menu is only currently possible on cameras that have the newer BIONZ XR processor, the a7C has the older BIONZ X processor.

Q: 7. Will the a7c record gyroscope movements like a7siii and FX9 to then be able to stabilise the video with catalyst browser?

A: The gyro-sensor data is recorded.

Q: 8. Sony A7C Video in APS-C Mode I know that UHD 4K 30p video has 1.2 Crop Factor. My question is about video shot on A7C with Sony APS-C lenses. For still photographs, the Crop Factor is 1.5. For videos at 30p, does the Crop Factor remain at 1.5 or is it 1.5X1.2=1.8? My reason for looking into the A7C is to have a full frame backup body and to also have a lighter weight body with APS-C lenses for the occasional videos. Since I already own APS-C lenses, A7C seems a good choice.

A: When using APS-C lenses on the Sony a7C Mirrorless Camera one can shoot UHD 30p video in 1.5x crop mode.

Q: 9. is there a 29 min limit on video?

A: No, its unlimited.

Q: 10. Does this camera come with a battery?
