Re: Digital mics - need some helpful info

I have an old Sony on-camera gun/zoom mic that I used with an SR-11 handycam, and it's either the same as the Sony ECM-GZ1M or very similar. It's really only good for scratch audio, as it doesn't sound natural, has high self noise, and despite being tuned with a high-pass-filter, it's very susceptible to wind noise.

I looked into the Sony ECM-W1M Wireless Microphone 14 years ago, but ruled it out, due to the poor reviews and short range of Bluetooth, and these days you can get a Rode Wireless Go II for $10 more.

These multi interface mics are for consumers, and just one step above the built-in mic.
