On-Camera Shotgun Microphone Bundle

The Zoom ZSG-1 shotgun microphone bundle targets mobile journalists, vloggers and run-and-gun creators who need clearer audio than built-in camera microphones provide. It includes a supercardioid microphone, a Vello V-Rig 4.1" triple shoe bracket and anti-static screen cleaning wipes. The microphone works with DSLR, mirrorless, smartphone and portable recorder setups. Plug-in power and a 3.5mm TRS connection keep operation simple.

Upgrade From Built-In Audio

This bundle replaces reliance on a camera or smartphone internal microphone, which typically picks up handling noise and ambient sound. The jump is worth it when recording dialogue or narration in noisy environments and when you need off-axis rejection without adjusting controls. The supercardioid pattern narrows pickup to the subject while reducing side and rear noise. No onboard settings mean faster setup for spontaneous shoots.

Simple Mounting And Common Pitfalls

The included shockmount slides onto a standard hot shoe or the V-Rig bracket for quick attachment. Detach the microphone for boompole or pistol grip use when the scene demands it. A foam windscreen fits over the capsule to cut wind distortion outdoors. The 3.5mm TRS cable must match the device input wiring; some smartphones require a TRRS adapter not supplied. Plug-in power must be enabled on the recorder or camera for the microphone to function.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5 mm TRS cable plug straight into my camera's microphone jack?

Yes, the 3.5 mm TRS output connects directly to a camera, smartphone or recorder that supplies plug-in power.

How do I attach the microphone to the V-Rig's 4.1 inch triple shoe bracket?

Slide the included shockmount onto any of the three cold shoes and tighten the thumbscrew; the mic then drops into the shockmount.

When should I replace the foam windscreen?

Replace it when the foam starts to crumble, tear or no longer fits snugly over the capsule.
