Z1 mic
Hi all
what shotgun condenser will fit in the Z1 mic holder? i was looking to buy rode ntg 2? I want to use it instead of purchasing a boom pole and hiring a sound operator |
I don't know the specific answer but I would recommend that whichever microphone you buy you also buy a proper spring-suspension shockmount for it. There is one which fits into the Z1 clip, though I can't recall the manufacturer. The Z1 mount transmits too much handling noise for my liking and the additional mount also swings the mic further away from the lens..

Rode makes 2 types of shockmounts which work with the NTG-2. One mounts in the shoe mount, while the other mounts in the mic holder.
If it's going to be used in place of a boom pole then it's best to have it shock-mounted. The only time I wouldn't bother shock-mounting is when it's not your primary source (ie you have another mic plugged in) and you just want that mic as a back-up or sratch track. I would recommend either the Rode NTG-2 (batteries or phantom) or NTG-1 (phantom power only). Great sounding mics for the money. |

I own the z1 and the mic holder has "wiggle room" to fit most any non hand held condenser mic.
