Sony Z1 External Microphone.
Hi all,
We're just about to buy a Z1 to replace our ailing DV kit, and being a cameraman (and therefore not knowing much about sound, other than it's importance!) I could do with some advice on a good mic... I'm aware that the standard choices are probably a Sennheiser K6/ME-66 module and the AT879 (I think) at the lower end of the budget scale - what are people's opinions on these as compared to each other and what sort of price should I be looking at in the UK? Also, we're thinking of potentially buying one of the Sony microphones in a package with the camera - what is people's advice on this? Are they good mics, could we use one on a boom pole instead of an ME-66, should we get both, etc etc??? Many thanks in advance for your guidance for this poor unknowledgable soul!!! |
Dominic,
I'm using the AT 897 on my FX1 and I'm extremely pleased with it - and so are my clients! I also use it on a fishpole with the Rycote holder and Softie. The mic cost me about £200 and the Rycote £170. Hope this helps! Robin |
Certainly does mate - thanks a bunch!
Anyone else?? |
