Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- In this video we test out 4 options for external Microphones for the Sony ZV-E10 and find out which one is the best Microphone for you!
The internal microphone on the zv-e10 is better than previous cameras, but still not that best, so getting an external mic is a huge upgrade for this camera.
we will check out the RODE Video Micro, the RODE VideoMic NTG, the RODE Wireless GO II and the brand new Deity D4 Mini.
Comment below which one is your favorite in this video.
*This video was shot on the Sony ZV-E10 using the 10mm - 18mm Sony lens in standard stabilazion (OSS) mostly in the 10mm focal length. *

Definitely going with the Deity D4 Mini.Thanks for the straight to the point detailed video!
Unreal video mate! Testing the quality of the mics on your board gives a great insight
Thanks for the video! I typically use a TASCAM+Lav, but there've been times where I forgot to record audio or there's nasty peaks for no reason that the lav can't handle. So a backup mic on the camera is my hope to solve the issue. But the quality even of the Rode Micro is so good, it may become my primary one day.
The rode micro is a solid mic! I e had mine for quite awhile and it’s in my bag pretty much all the time. I haven’t picked one up yet but rode just put out the Rode video Go 2 which sounds a lot like the NTG video mic but way less expensive
Great video, man. Such an in-depth review. Keep up the good work.
Planning on getting this camera this year and already have the Rode Microphone to put on this thing, sounds so good for only being 50 bucks hell yeah.
I have the ZV-e10 and am basically clueless in terms of audio/audio settings and i think the sound right from the camera is terrible, i had no idea which mic would be best but now i know! thanks!
Kyle my man! 🙌 Just the video I've been searching for! Awesome comparisons, Thank you brother🤝
Hope it helped!
Excellent, practical review. Thanks for your help!
Glad to help!
Thank you this was so helpful!
Very helpful video thank you. Going to purchase the Rode VideoMicro II as it sounds so good!
i just got the zv -e10 i have the rode wireless 2 and your video lets me know i wont need another mic as i have this all ready --- i did like the rode ntg both have a few good features. the ntg doesnt require much turn on turn off together. great video. i m. just getting started doing videos ---thanks cool job
solid review thanks Kyle!
Amazing Work and superb review... GG
Great break down and comparison.
Thanks! Hope it helps!
Thanks for making this video!
This was very helpful, thank you so much!!!
Thanks for watching! There’s a couple of new Rode mics (rode videomic go ii and a new rode videomicro) that I would also take a look at.
I went with the Deity V-MIC DV Mini. I reckon it sounds better than Rode Videomicro II as well. With a bit of EQ it sounds great and only £50.👍😀 Thanks for the video. Andy
Great video and thank you for the mic test because I am about to purchase a mic for my ZV E-10!
I’d also take a look at the new Rode go ii which is a really good option. I did a video on that one pretty recently if you wanna hear that mic
What a great video testing all the qualities of the mic 👍
Amazing video straight to the point
🙏
Cheers for this ❤
Awesome Video, Thank You 💪🏼
thank you for the video!!!
Great video, I just bought the ZVE and you helped a lot.
By the way, seems like we have a similar taste for Video Openers LOL.
Rode wireless go 2 I like that one a lot thank you for your service
All of them are great!!!
Fantastic video Kyle! I am still learning and will be picking up my camera soon.
I still have to learn to edit videos and figure out how to do all that audio syncing stuff if the mics dont add the audio directly to the video like how the internal mic would.
Still trying to figure that out!
Thanks Andray! All of these mics will plug into the camera and will add the audio straight to your video. No need to sync anything in post.
@@KyleWattsTV Oh thats awesome! Man you just answered my question that I been struggling to find answer to for such a long time!
You rock Kyle! Have an amazing Friday and will be watching some of your older videos and giving them likes!
I'm actually surprised by the onboard mics. I wonder how they would sound after some cleanup.
Wow thanks for the vid
Thanks. It helps a lot!
Rode did also just came out with a mic called the rode go ii which is kinda between the ntg and the rode video mic. It’s also a good option that’s less expensive
I know. But I think ntg have amazing quality
Thanks!
Great stuff! Which software to you recommend for post editing?
What would be a great wireless handheld mic for these cameras ? Any suggestions? Thank you.. will subscribe and def like the video for the content alone
Great video mate. I am now in the market to buy a new camera. My old Nikon D500 has pretty bad recorder and produces a lot of hiss (white noise) when recording with an external microphone. Do you hear such hiss when recording with an external microphone on the ZV-e10?
You can’t beat the Wireless GO II versatility. Only downfall is remembering to keep it charged and the battery life isn’t as long as the NTG.
100%
You're doin God's work. God bless.
Good video Kyle, is there anything else you would consider 2 years later ?
I’m a huge fan of the new Sony digital hot shoe mics (ecm-b1m) or the ecm-m1 mics as well as the new dji mic 2 wireless mics.
El mejor que vi es el wireless II, es muy versatil y con una calidad de audio impresionante, siento que le gana 2 veces a los DJI wireless que cuestan lo doble.
Hi Kyle, thank you for the video. It is much appreciated. I am not going to use this camera outdoor since my videos will be always inside. Do you have any recommendations for a mic which is going to work with this camera in this specific case? As I said I am planning to do indoor videos and Twitch so I am wondering if your recommendations would stay the same or you have something else in mind. What do you think?
If you are streaming on things like twitch you will probably want a usb mic that you would plug into your computer. If you are recording videos to upload then I would plug into the camera. I use the rode ntg videomic as my main mic (in studio and on camera outside) and I love it. It’s both a mic you can plug into the camera and a usb mic. It’s a pretty great sounding mic as well.
ntg is goated for sure. but I think i'm gonna go for the deity just for the size for my zv-e10
Great little mic
Great video.
I'm looking for a mic (for the ZV-E10) to record cycling events (so trying to pick up the sounds of the road/mountain bikes as they approach the camera). I'm guessing they will be about 30' or so and approaching.
Would these mics work for that, or is that an entirely different type of mic?
I enjoy your videos, and would like to support. If you have links for the recommended mic - so I can buy through your channel, will gladly buy through that.
Thanks and look forward to your future videos (even if they don't apply to anything I'm considering; they're still entertaining and educational).
The ntg would probably be the best if these for that purpose but you would have to turn the mic up a lot and it would amplify the sound around the mic of close sounds. What people use for long range mics is called a parabolic microphone which is like a round dish around the mic (like they use at football games)
Hi there! I just bought the Rode Go ii but was also thinking about the deity for recording things such as press conferences and using the Go 2’s for interviews, thoughts?
I like to have the best audio for my video. Do you recommend using Sony UWP-D system with this camera? Or should I get an external recorder like Zoom F6?
How your video from zve10 is that much stable... Pls answer me..I really appreciate your work🙏
Please make a video for DJI wireless mic with Sony zve10
That's hilarious, I've had the Wireless GO II since it came out and had no idea you could record directly to the unit. I've always brought a portable Zoom for the main Wireless Go II receiver. Still, for talking head I will go with the NTG.
New subscriber! What mic would you recommend to start a podcast with my zve10?
I’d check out the Rode go ii or rode videomic ntg cause they are both connectable by usb to a computer or 3.5mm aux into the camera
Hi there - this might be a dumb question but how exactly do you set up your Rode Video Mic NTG to the Sony ZVe10? We use this mic and camera at our firm, but I can't ever get it to actually work... I've used it once for filming when I thought it was on and it didn't capture any audio off the mic... Would you be able to do a tutorial for how you remove the mic the camera comes with and how you use and put on the Rode mic?
This is an excellent video.
I subscribed and turned on the notification.
I have a question.
I’m trying to record desktop crafts (ZVE10 is mounted overhead so it’s filming facing towards the countertop). The camera is overhead about 1-2 feet max. I’m trying to capture the detail sounds when I’m working on the crafts. It’s not asmr, but I want clear distinct sounds because I do macros while I’m tinkering.
I’m not sure which mic would work best for this.
Can the mic you recommend also connect to an iPhone? If not, which mic would you recommend for an iphone to film the crafts? Thanks in advance!
I am looking to get the remote mics for a different use.
Great video!
Any of the shotgun style mics should work. I personally like the rode ntg but that’s cause I already have it. Rode did just put out the rode videomic go ii which sounds a lot like the ntg but way less expensive
@@KyleWattsTV thanks very much.
Will look through these again and will use one of the links in the description.
Thanks again!
Rode NTG sounds crystal clear.
what settings did you have on the camera and microphone when you skateboarded in the clip?
bro I'm having a buzzing problem with the ZV E10 when using the rode wireless 2. How do I fix this?
Hi, thanks for your review! Does the camera anyhow support dual mono, e.g. recording a wireless and a directional mic without mixing the chnanels? I didn't find it, did you?
I don’t think so. It can do stereo which the right input cable and 2 mics but you would have to split the audio track and out them into mono in post. The new DJI wireless mic can record in duel mono as well as stereo if you wanna look into that system. It’s actually kind of my new go to wireless system
Amazing video! I am going to try one of the mics you proposed but one question. I bought an ext mic and a TRRS to TRS adapter for my external mic. However, I cannot get it to work for some reason. Any tip? I
Not really sure why that’s not working. As long as you have a trs cable going into the camera it should work.
@@KyleWattsTV I ended up buying another mic and it worked. The other mic was definitely defective
How do I set the audio levels on the camera?
Can any of these be used as a voiceover mic as well
Hi there, thank you for this. do you recommend the kit lens or is there a better lens (not crazy expensive) that will produce better results?
I’m a huge fan of the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 : geni.us/c8LCB
It’s very sharp, it’s a f/2.8 and it performs very well. Not too expensive for what it is either
@@KyleWattsTV thank you very much for taking the time to provide your insights! Appreciate it
You mentioned you can attach a shotgun mic to the wireless mic. So I have DJI mic 2 and I buy a rode shotgun mic. I can then use the rode "wirelessly" after plugging it to a DJI transmitter?.
Yes you can do that
How to change audio settings and recording from microphone how to xhange.
Rode Wireless go 2 wireless is incredible
Ever hear of zv-e10 not recording audio using an external microphone? I just picked up a used zv-e10 off Amazon, plugged in rode video microphone and no audio recording. Rode video microphone works fine on other cameras. External mic on zv-e10 worked fine. I couldn't find anything else to trouble shoot. As you said, should be just plug in and record with rode video micro.
not really sure whats going on there. i dont think theres a setting in the menu that turns off/on the external audio but you could check that. what other cameras are you using?
Fab video. I have rode video micro. do i need to set any audio levels in camera while using this. Thanks
Set the levels to around -12 on the volume meter. That will give you headroom for loud spikes with out clipping and loud enough to avoid preamp hiss from the camera
@@KyleWattsTV cheers :) will do..
I have the deity and i find it works great but to be honest i’ve never switched settings to pick up sound behind the mic lol
You have the d4 duo?
The deity will allow me to plug in a wireless mic like shit mic 2 I already have. 💪🏽💪🏽 Awesome.
what about for concerts? is there something i can do in my settings so it doesn’t make the audio sound crazy
You would want a mic that has a pad setting so you can reduce the levels. The ntg mic has a -20bd setting which would help. You also want to reside if you need a stereo mic or not. Sometimes that will sound better for concerts
I cannot get my Rode Wireless 2 to sound as good as yours with the same camera, not sure what I’m doing wrong but I’m hearing so much background noise! What settings do you use? 🤔
Now almost a year later figured it out? Cause I have the same camera and wireless 2
@@Apsurd_tv nope, I ended up trading it back in for DJI Wireless which to my ear felt better
Hey bud, I've been trying to get rode wireless 1 to work with zve10 - and for some reason it's not accepting the sound input. The rode cable I have works for my phone and into laptop etc and I've tested the mic slot in the camera by directly plugging in the lavalier.. any ideas?
Make sure the cable you are using is a TRS cable and not a TRRS cable. Usually phones use the trrs cable and that won’t work with the camera. There should be only two rings or “lines” on the plug. If you see 3 than that’s the wron cable.
This is what you would need
amzn.to/3koWfEk
@@KyleWattsTV brother - that's PRECISELY the problem! I do have one with 3 lines.. I just ordered the one with two lines !!!
Really appreciated.. let's chat and we can do a collab soon..
Is there an extension cable for the RØDE VideoMic GO II to connect to my Sony ZV E10 when I'm filming for UA-cam videos at home? The one that comes with in the box is short and it means my mic is not located near to my mouth so losing some base...?
This is what I use.

Sorry to get a bit out of the topic, but what does “standard stabilization” mean? I saw everything was quite well stabilized. Did you do anything apart for the camera’s own stabilization?
On the Zve-10 there are 2 options for stabilization, standard and active. Standard only turns on lenses that are stabilized. Some Sony lenses have the work OSS on the lens and they signifies that it’s a stabilized lens. Active stabilization is the camera body’s digital stabilization. This mode crops in about 40% so that it can have room to digitally stabilize the image. For me the active stabilization is cropped in too much for vlogging or pointing a camera at yourself so I will use standard as long as I’m using a OSS lens (the kit lens is an OSS btw)
Thanks a lot for clarifying! New sub
@@KyleWattsTVhey Kyle, does catalysts browse work even when using “standard” or does it not record the gyro data in this setting?
@@1hip I believe it only works if you turn stabilization off
@@KyleWattsTV thank you. Did you use catalyst browse to stabilize the footage in this video as well?
How to connect Mike with Sony e10
The camera has a 3.5 mm mic input on this side of the camera. So you would just plug in your microphone to that
I have the Rode Videomic Go II, what cable do I need to connect it to the Zv-110 ??? TRS to TRS? or TRS to TRRS?
@@StefanoMaddalena trs to trs
I wish all these you-tubers would test mics with LIVE MUSIC. Go see your friends band play, and get some mic comparisons.
Hey Kyle, what would u recommend for vlogging? Shotgun mic or Wireless mic?
I personally like shotgun mics but if you need to be away from the camera then wireless is the way to go.
@@KyleWattsTV better to have both in some cases right? anyways thanks!
Hi Kyle, thanks for the review. I've just got a Rode VideoMicro for my ZV E10, but when I plug it, the camera keeps grabbing the sound from the internal microphone. The microphone is plugged on the mic input (just on top of USB-C port), I have also tried several cables and checked it is fully inserted. The microphone works on my computer. Is there anything special to set up on the camera ? Thanks :)
I do have the same problem 😢
Dont know why it keeps grabbing sound from the internal mic
@@mikhaeljonathan I am afraid we have a defective port 😟
Are you using an appropriate TRS to TRS cable? If you have TRRS to TRS or TRS to TRRS (or TRRS to TRRS) it will not work
Almost certainly your microphone port on the camera is broken

Wanna go for wireless go 2 for my vlog project. I wanna interview someone along the road.
Also take a look at the dji wireless mic. At the moment I like this set way better!

Hi, I just got my deity d4 duo mic on my sony zve10. how should be the set up on the menu? I couldn't figure out the proper set up so my camera can record with audio from the microphone.
The only thing you should need to do is adjust the audio levels to go with the mic. I try to get the levels to around -12 on the meter. Also if you use the mic for front and rear recording, it’s going to split your audio to left and right so you will want to usually edit that in post to mono.
@@KyleWattsTV Thank you so much! Great help!
@@KyleWattsTV I managed to fix it and now it's working. Thank you so much for your help! 🤗
would you be able to hear anybody behind the camera for the rode video micro? if so how well?
Yes you can still pick up behind the camera but just not as well as in front. When I’m talking behind the camera I leaned to project a bit more
I have Grenaro 3 in 1 wireless microphone... Can I use it with Zv E10??
Reply fast please
If it has a 3.5mm aux jack then it should work
Hi kyle,first thanks for your video, it is really helpfull. I have a problem , i bought sony zv e10 and the recommended ntg rode videomic but when I use the cable and connect it to the camera, i don't get the audio of the rode and instead of it i still get the internal mic from the camera, need help
Make sure the mic is pushed all the way in and that the mic is charged up. I once recorded some stuff and the cable on the mic side wasn’t pushed all the way in and I only got the internal mic. I’ll have to double check that there isn’t a setting In the camera that turns off the mic input but I don’t think there is one
@@KyleWattsTV yes its pushed correctly i checked it, when i switch the camera on, the mic doesn't start with.
I think that it detect the micro cause after recording the video with the mic connected to the camera, when i play the video, i need to unplug the cable so that i can listen to the audio, but the audio doesn't come from the rode but from the internal zv e10 mic
@@malekarous you have it connected the the 3.5 on the top of the camera and not the headphone jack on the bottom right?
Which is the best one if the subject is far away from the Camera out on a busy street?
I’d go with the dji wireless system. They came out right after I made this video
No Rode SVMX? Understandable 💸
Its what I run but have been looking for something stereo in the size of the videomicro (that won’t overtax a gimbal/weigh as much as my ZVE does literally). Doesn’t seem to exist in any quality I would want, at any price I’d be willing to pay
Never got my hands on one of those stereo rode mics. I would like to give one a try some day though
@@KyleWattsTV Really phenomenal. If they ever come up on sale or anything 10/10 pick one up. The 🦘at Røde made a good one. It’s just heavy is all.
Can the DJI be used with another mic on sony zv-10 simultaneously? The DJI only comes with 2 TX but what if I have more people . Should I get more TXs. Will DJI RX be able to sync with more than 2 RX? Planning to do a show on the road basically. (TX=Transmitter, RX= receiver). Please advise. Thank you
I believe you can if you have 2 sets and a stereo splitter cable. But it would probably only record duel mono but on both left and right channels separately
@@KyleWattsTV I'm basically planning to record a total of 4/5 people in a restaurant setting or something alike and record us while we eat and conversate. Any suggestions?
@@ericflores4086 well the dji mics all do internal recording so you could use 1 set as your scratch track and replace the audio in post with the internal mics
@@KyleWattsTV I have no clue what you just said. I'm not familiar with the camera/video jargon

Yes the zve10 has a 3.5mm input on the camera

Hello can anybody help me im new to cameras and mics and I have the rode wireless go 2 and rode lavalier go i used them together but I'm picking up a lot of wind noise in my videos, I have the db set at -9 and volume on camera at 13 can anybody give me any tips I will greatly appreciate it thank you.
I’ve been having a rough time with this too, I think lowering the camera setting to around 2 might be the play for you though? Give it a try and hopefully it’ll help!
I picked up the rode dead cat wind screen for my rode lav mic and that stopped the wind noise
@@KyleWattsTV Just picked up the lav microphone myself an dhoping that itself will actually solve the issue, I was using the Rode Wireless mic itself, thank you!
None of the above. Sony ECM-G1is very very hard to beat.
How do you overcome the overheating in 4k 100 Mbits?
Turn the heat setting on the menu to high and it shouldn’t be a problem. I have never had mine over heat after changing that
First! Lol 😂
which would be best for loud sounds ( racecars ) dont want the audio to blow out
The rode videomic NTG because it has a switch on the mic to reduce -20db for louder noises. They actually first showed the mic recording race cars when it was first announced
Thanks , what do you think of the RODE VideoMic GO II Ultracompact as another option bc I would want something slightly smaller .
