Upgrade your mobile filmmaking with the official Nikon ME-D10 Shotgun Microphone, precision-tuned to maximize the advanced recording capabilities of the Nikon ZR ecosystem. Eliminating the clutter of external cables, analog pins, and separate batteries, this shotgun cell mounts directly onto the camera's intelligent hot shoe interface to pull power and transmit pristine data instantly. It features an internal analog-to-digital converter supporting a 48 kHz sample rate at a 32-bit floating-point bit length, granting filmmakers infinite flexibility to recover clipped peaks or low-gain floors during post-production master tracks.
The mechanical design includes an integrated, internal shock mount to cushion raw handling vibrations while recording on the move. Creators can adapt to unpredictable acoustic spaces using two unique firmware modes: PURE mode, which captures flat, natural ambient dynamics from 40 Hz to 20 kHz, and FOCUS mode, which narrows down frequency pickup between 90 Hz and 20 kHz to isolate human voices in loud public venues. Supported by three user-selectable pickup patterns (front, rear, and omnidirectional), an intuitive physical control hub, and a prominent front-facing recording lamp, the ME-D10 guarantees seamless, professional sound reinforcement.
