{"product_id":"zoom-zsg-1-on-camera-shotgun-microphone","title":"Zoom ZSG-1 On-Camera Shotgun Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Zoom ZSG-1 is a compact on-camera shotgun microphone for creators who need more focused audio than a built-in camera or phone microphone can provide. Its highly directional pickup is designed to emphasize the sound in front of the mic while reducing unwanted off-axis noise. It is suited to video work such as interviews, vlogs, dialogue capture, and sound-effects recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA supercardioid polar pattern gives the ZSG-1 a focused sound character for recording a subject or sound source in front of the camera. Its tailored 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range supports clear dialogue and detailed location audio. The microphone is mono and uses a back-electret condenser design with a 14 mm diaphragm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ZSG-1 operates from 2 to 5 V plug-in power, allowing it to work with compatible cameras and recording devices without an internal battery. Its stereo mini output connects using the included 3.5 mm stereo mini cable. This simple powered connection helps keep a compact video rig ready for mobile recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor handheld and camera-mounted work, the included SMM-3 shock mount is designed to reduce vibration and handling noise reaching the microphone. The included WSM-3 windscreen adds basic protection against light wind noise during outdoor recording. At 40 g, the microphone itself adds minimal weight to a camera, phone, or compact recorder setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ZSG-1 can mount on a camera hot shoe for direct-to-camera recording, or it can be used off-camera with a boom pole or pistol grip and a compatible recorder. It is a practical audio upgrade for creators building a lightweight content-production system. For accurate aiming with its focused directionality, Zoom recommends monitoring with headphones when possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupercardioid Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Focuses on sound in front of the microphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack-Electret Condenser:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a compact condenser microphone design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug-In Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Operates from compatible 2 to 5 V sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Shock Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps reduce vibration and handling noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Windscreen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps manage light wind during outdoor recording.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.5 mm Stereo Mini Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects to compatible cameras and recording devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ZSG-1 uses a slim cylindrical microphone body measuring 22.6 mm in diameter and 177 mm long.
