Sony ECM-HQP1 Surround-Sound Microphone
Now, there are lots of different types of auxiliary mics, from simple shotgun mics to fancy wireless models. What makes the ECM-HQP1 unique is that it's a surround sound microphone it records more than just mono or stereo sound, which makes an ideal match for your HDV or 16:9 ratio recordings. Now you can shoot your movies in true surround sound and play them back on your surround-sound home theater system. What's amazing is that all this multiple-channel recording is done with a single microphone casing. The ECM-HQP1 captures four distinct channels of high-quality audio; just point it toward the front, and you get automatic four-channel surround with proper channel positioning. The microphone easily attaches to your camcorder's hot shoe; it's not big or bulky at all. It has three distinct recording modes, which you can use for different shooting situations. The ECM-HQP1 works with compatible Sony camcorders, and may work with other brands, as well; check first before you buy. (One advantage of using this mic with a Sony camcorder is that you can control the various recording modes from the camcorder's touch screen control.)
Sony ECM-S930C Stereo MicrophoneSony's ECM-S930C is an affordable add-on stereo microphone for your camcorder. It utilizes left- and right-side microphone capsules, as well as a directional switch, to record real-world stereo sound. And it's a high-quality microphone, as well, with a wide frequency response and low noise level. It's also very small and light, with a universal mount to fit on top of almost any camcorder.
