Sony ECM-M1 Compact Camera-Mount Digital Shotgun Microphone

The Sony ECM-M1 (CE7) is a compact, high-performance digital shotgun microphone designed for Sony mirrorless and interchangeable-lens cameras, offering professional-grade audio in a lightweight, portable form.

It also supports 4-channel recording for backup safety tracks, includes built-in noise-cut and low-cut filters, and offers 10 dB and 20 dB attenuation to prevent distortion in loud environments.
