The Saramonic SR-PMIC1 is a compact and lightweight on-camera shotgun microphone that delivers broadcast-quality sound to DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, video cameras and audio recorders. It operates without any batteries or charging and provides truly useful features. The short output cable is removable, which can be useful for storage, but it also means you can connect any readily available 1/8“ (3.5mm) cable if you need more length. The output jack is on the top of the PMIC1, which saves space behind the microphone.

A low-cut switch on the back of the PMIC1 eliminates deep bass sounds. Footsteps sometimes produce distracting low rumbles that you can only hear when you watch your footage on a system with a subwoofer. This switch prevents you from recording these sounds. Low-cut will also tame the hum of air conditioner noise and make speech more intelligible — so consider using it every time you shoot.

The PMIC1 will likely be the easiest-to-use piece of gear you own. To use it you just fasten it to the shoe of your camera with its built-in mount and connect the included cable to the mic input on your camera. There is no power switch or button to worry about. You’re ready to shoot. The built-in camera shoe features a metal 1/4 20 tripod thread for more mounting options. This microphone sounds great, it’s durably built and ready to travel.

Please note that the PMIC1 requires “Plug-In Power” to operate. The vast majority of cameras provide it, but it is omitted on a few models.
