Simple and effective, but ...
The equipment lives up to its promise, but the screw holding it to the stand keeps unscrewing. You can sometimes end up with a microphone in two parts. So be careful!
The Zoom M3 MicTrak gives filmmakers the ability to enhance their content with pristine sound. This on-camera stereo microphone/recorder captures every nuance of sound with 32-bit floating point recording, so whether it's dialogue, sound effects or outdoor environments, you'll always get the perfect take.
Jump quickly from scene to scene with the M3 attached to the camera of your choice. Its specially designed shock mount keeps your equipment light and ensures minimal handling noise. Plus, easily switch between mono and stereo modes. Mono mode is optimal for capturing dialogue. 90º provides accurate and transparent stereo capture. 120º provides generous stereo capture, ideal for ambience or sound effects.
The M3 always records a raw backup file in RAW Mid-Side format, giving you the ability to adjust the stereo width of your recording in post-production.
Use the M3's 3.5mm stereo output to connect your camera and record a backup of your audio signal. This is particularly useful for synchronising audio with video.
Plus, with the M3 Edit and Play software, you can adjust the stereo width of your recording and normalise your files to prepare them for synchronisation and editing.
