Zoom ZSG-1 Camera Shotgun Microphone

Zoom ZSG-1

The Zoom ZSG-1 is an on-camera shotgun microphone designed to enhance audio quality for creators. It is lightweight and highly directional, delivering excellent sound performance across various content capture scenarios.

Camera Ready

The ZSG-1 mounts easily to your camera's hot shoe, making it ideal for creators on the move. It includes a 3.5 mm stereo mini cable to connect directly to your camera, allowing you to record high-quality audio synchronized with your video.

Phone Compatible

While phone cameras offer great 4K video capabilities, their built-in microphones often lack quality. The ZSG-1 shotgun microphone significantly improves audio capture for social media content and mobile videos.

Off-Camera Use

The microphone can also be used off-camera with accessories such as a boom pole or pistol grip. When connected to an external recorder, it provides a versatile solution for location audio recording.

Focused Sound Capture

Featuring off-axis rejection and a tailored frequency response, the mono ZSG-1 is designed for highly directional audio capture, minimizing background noise. This makes it ideal for recording dialogue and sound effects.

Lightweight Design

Weighing only 94 grams, the ZSG-1 keeps your setup light and portable, supporting mobility during shoots.

Shock Mount Included

The package includes a specially designed shock mount (SMM-3) to reduce handling noise and vibrations, ensuring cleaner audio recordings.
