Small microphone suggestions for 5D?
Can anyone suggest a small but decent external mic for the 5DmkII? Smaller than the MKE400, preferably. I just want it to so I can isolate the sound from camera handling noise and put a windscreen on it as well. I have a "big" mic already, just want something tiny to keep in the camera bag.

Hey Dylan,
Glad to see that we now have the same camera :) Did you mean the Sennheiser MKE400? That thing is already as small as your pinky. You want something smaller than that? |

Well I've been telling ya to get a 5DmkII for YEARS... :)
How long is the MKE400? I'm really looking for something ultra small so I can leave it on in my camera bag still attached.

Try Sony ECM-MSD1 stereo mic (about $70) with standard 3.5mm mini jack. It may not be as small as your pinky but the total package is certainly more compact than the Sennheiser MKE400. Because it is a stereo mic, sound pickup is not very directional but it sounds good enough mounting on my FX1 as a casual mic.

That Sony doesn't seem to get great reviews on Amazon:
Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Sony ECMMSD1 Stereo Zoom Camcorder Microphone for DCRHC20/30/40/65/85, DCRVX2100, HDRFX1 ... how do you find the sound quality compared to the internal mic? I have to say it is MUCH more like the sort of size mic I am looking for. While most people may feel the Rodes and Sennheisers are small, for running-about field use I'm wanting something much smaller like this. Thanks for the info. |

Thanks for posting that. The reviews on it's camera sound isolation seem pretty bad, and considering the 5D is probably noisier (with IS) than a camcorder, this might be a bad choice. The size is perfect though, about 2.5" long, compared to the MKE400 5" Anyone have any other small mic options?
