Nikon ME-1 Stereo Microphone

The Nikon ME-1 Stereo Microphone is a dedicated stereo microphone designed to expand the movie capabilities of compatible Nikon D-SLRs and COOLPIX cameras. A smart alternative to a camera's built-in microphone, it suppresses unwanted operational noise such as autofocus to let you capture movies in superb stereo sound. A wind screen and low-cut filter switch prevent interference from wind or low-frequency noise and it boasts a short body for comfortable operation when shooting. Conveniently powered via the camera, it offers the ideal way to record crisp, clear sound.
