Comments about Sony ECM-NV1 Directional Microphone for DSR-PD170:
This mic is used as original equipment on several Sony camcorders including my V1U. The original mic was smashed as I was moving through thick forest. The element cage is thin plastic and it doesn't take much to break it. I looked at other replacement mics but this seemed to be the best bang for the buck.
