Sony’s ECM-W5 wireless mic has a world-first trick that DJI, Insta360 and Rode can’t match
The Sony ECM-W5 is an excellent wireless mic system that’s especially well-suited to Sony camera owners, thanks to its Multi Interface Shoe receiver and a world-first ability to record 32-bit float audio in-camera. A 500m range, a generous 64GB of storage per transmitter and a 3.5mm lav mic input will appeal to pros too. It’s bulkier and pricier than its key rivals, though, and its noise reduction isn't particularly impressive.
Reasons to buy
- +In-camera 32-bit float recording
- +Huge transmission range and rock-solid signal
- +3.5mm lav mic input with screw lock
Reasons to avoid
- -Much pricier than its key rivals
- -Noise reduction is fairly mild
