View warranty terms and conditionsThe Sony ECM-GZ1M is a monaural shotgun microphone designed for Sony cameras and camcorders with a Multi-Interface Shoe. Its main advantage is the ability to isolate the subject's sound, reducing unwanted ambient noise. It offers two operating modes: "Gun" mode sets a constant pickup pattern, while "Zoom" mode dynamically adjusts the pickup angle according to the lens zoom, narrowing it as you zoom in. This makes it a versatile tool for content creators and videographers looking to improve audio quality in their recordings.
This second-hand microphone has been inspected and comes with the Camera Market warranty (6, 12, or 24 months), giving you peace of mind with your purchase. It is ideal for interviews, vlogs, and outdoor video production, where sound control is crucial. For exact technical specifications, such as the detailed polar pattern or frequency response, we recommend checking the manufacturer's datasheet on their official website.

The Sony ECM-GZ1M Zoom Microphone is a monaural on-camera microphone that features a hot shoe interface specifically for Sony cameras and camcorders that have the Multi-Interface Shoe property. The microphone is designed to help isolate the sound you want originating from the subject while rejecting unwanted ambient noise. It offers two settings to choose from: a "Gun" Mode which locks the microphone in a fixed pick-up pattern, and a "Zoom" Mode which dynamically adjusts the pick-up pattern in relation to how much you zoom in, making the microphone pick-up angle narrower as you zoom closer - Zoom Mode requires a camera or camcorder with a zoom lens.

Is it compatible with my Sony camera?
This microphone is specifically designed for Sony cameras and camcorders that have the Multi-Interface Shoe. We recommend verifying that your equipment has this type of connection before making the purchase.
What is the difference between Gun mode and Zoom mode?
Gun mode maintains a fixed pickup pattern, ideal for recording without changing the zoom. Zoom mode automatically adjusts the microphone's pickup angle according to the lens zoom: as you zoom in, the angle narrows to focus more on the subject.
Is the microphone stereo or monaural?
The Sony ECM-GZ1M is a monaural microphone, meaning it records on a single channel. This is common in shotgun microphones designed to capture directional audio.
What warranty does this second-hand product include?
This second-hand microphone has been inspected by Camera Market and comes with a 6, 12, or 24-month warranty, depending on the option chosen. This protects you against any malfunction.
