Comments about Sony ECM-77BMP Lavalier Mic with Mini Connection:
I've been using the ECM-77b for almost 15 years now, first with Lectrosonics transmitters, then with Sony. I'm very happy with it! The ECM series been the broadcast standard for decades. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I love the 77b because it's tiny, and the windscreen and mic clip is made of solid metal, not plastic. No coloration in sound, and very easy to hide.

Comments about Sony ECM-77BMP Lavalier Mic with Mini Connection:
I have used the ECM-77 for years in different configurations. This is a workhorse lav mic of broadcast ENG.
Sound is always clean and crisp without any colouring.
The capsule is reasonably small and unobtrusive.
The included metal windscreen works well for its size but you do need something like a microcat windscreen to really stop wind noise.
Unfortunately like most things Sony, the accessories are really expensive. It's a good thing Pearstone make much cheaper accessories for the 77.
