Azden SGM-250MX Mini-XLR Short Shotgun Microphone for Compact Cinema Cameras (Shockmount, Phantom Only)

The Azden SGM-250MX Shotgun Microphone comes with Azden's SMH-X Universal Shockmount for Camera Shoes and Boompoles.

You're going to need some type of camera cage for your BMPCC 4K with a cold shoe mount. I've been using this mic for my 6K with a full Tilta cage, but there are other, cheaper options out there.

For my setup, I purchased a SMALLRIG FULL CAGE FOR BMPCC 4K. This provides accessory mounting and protection for my camera. This cage features multiple mounting points including NATO rails, 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 mounting threads, ARRI-style accessory mounts and cold shoe. In order to attach the Mike to the camera cage you will need a rig with a cold shoe mount. The good thing is most cages comes with a cold shoe to attach this mic.

The Azden SGM-250MX Mini-XLR Short Shotgun Microphone for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema requires phantom power to function and it has a TA3 male connector, so it is not directly compatible for use with the Z CAM E2C Professional 4K Cinema Camera which has a 3.5mm mic input. It will require adapters and a phantom supply to enable compatibility. As a compatible option for the same type of microphone, you can use the Azden SGM-250 Shotgun Microphone (B&H # AZSGM250) which can operate using a AA battery and an XLR female to 3.5mm TRS male cable to connect directly to the camera.

We have not tried the microphone with the Tilta cage specifically. But based on our testing with similar cages, the SGM-250MX's cable does have plenty of length to reach the camera's mic input when mounted to the top handle. For reference, the SGM-250MX's cable is 13 inches long.

Yes it does, which you have to turn on from the audio settings on the BMPCC.

Should work with any cold shoe mount. Mounts great on my small rig cage. Great mic.

I used one from small rig. Works great and hasn’t ever been taken off since I added on. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1421793-REG/smallrig_1241_cold_shoe.html
