camera microphone

Camera microphones are compact directional microphones designed to mount directly onto a camera’s hot shoe or cold shoe, capturing audio in sync with video recording. Used by videographers, journalists, documentary filmmakers, and content creators, these microphones offer a practical step up from built-in camera audio. A camera microphone typically features a cardioid or supercardioid pickup pattern to focus on subjects in front of the lens while reducing ambient noise from the sides.
