I want to add a new microphone for my FX3, any suggestions ?
The new release DJI MIC 2 is very powerful, yet also very compact, the only weak point is it is not very cheap 😪
For the Sony FX3 cinema camera, there are several great microphone options depending on your specific needs and budget. Here are some highly recommended mics:
I'd recommend getting either a quality on-camera shotgun mic like the Rode VideoMic Pro+ or going with a wireless lav system if you need more mobility. Add XLR mics if you want the absolute best audio fidelity. Consider your budget and portability needs.
I've had great results using the Sennheiser MKE 600 with my FX3. Tight supercardioid pattern to really focus and isolate dialogue. The switchable high-pass filter is clutch for reducing low-end rumble. You can run it off phantom power or just use a AA battery which is nice. Nice upgrade from the built-in mic at a reasonable cost.
DJI Mic 2 is the best choice, but the orignal DJI Mic is still a great mic with cheaper price.
If you are looking for professional mic, you may try Sennheiser MKH 416-P48U3 Moisture-Resistant Shotgun Microphone: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-MKH416-P48U3-Super-Cardioid-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B00030679K/
In 2024, I think the best choice is DJI Mic 2.
