Product Description:
Bring the audio in your videos to life with the ECM-HGZ1 shotgun microphone from Sony. Used with a compatible Handycam(R) camcorder, the ECM-HGZ1 synchronizes the audio to the camcorder's zoom for audio that is distinct for both modes. In telephoto mode, the microphone focuses on the audio straight ahead of it, isolating the subject matter. In wide-angle mode, the microphone broadens its recording range, so no sound occurring in the frame is missed. The ECM-HGZ1 is designed to work with your camcorder's Active Interface Shoe, so it is easy to connect and simple to use. It is powered by the camcorder, so no need for a separate battery. Included Accessories - Storage Pouch Materials - ABS Plastic / Color - Graphite Silver

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Microphone Works Well
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3KU3AZCVEZVHS I read all the reviews and then tested the microphone on my Sony HDR-HC3. I agree with others that the gun mode is best. And there might be uses for the zoom affect, like having the sound increase in strength as one moves into a scene. But in normal mode like filming wedding vows from a distance the gun mode would be best while zoomed or not zoomed.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - not impressed
I have a Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder, which unfortunately, having an Active Interface Shoe is compatible only with a few Sony microphones, such as this one.
I made several recordings with and without the microphone and found no difference in the sound quality and amplitude.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Does What it's Designed for
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3NP8D1HPWRT0Q I've been using this microphone off and on with my issued Sony HD camcorder, and before that, with a Sony SD hard drive-based camcorder, for perhaps 2 years or so. Understand that the HGZ1 by no means is a $500-or-above Sennheiser shotgun microphone that picks up subtle whispers and bumble bee noises. Come now, we're talking about a $60 piece of equipment. But on a number of occasions, people have asked me whether the audio I've captured ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Performs as advertised
Despite some of the negative reviews, I ordered this mic, based on one of the contrarian reviews that said people either didn't know how to use it, or were expecting miracles.

That review was accurate. I videotape my daughter's soccer games with a Sony DCR-HC96, and this mic is a nice complement. I use it exclusively in "Gun" mode and can make the following observations after recording 4 games:

* The sound *quality* is marginally improved. Don't expect huge improvements ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - No Difference
There is no distict difference between using the regular built in camera microphone vs. the shotgun microphone. We tried it at every setting and it made absolutely no difference at all. Save your money.
