In this video I take a look at my new lavalier/lapel microphone, the Sony ECM-77B. This is an extremely high end, broadcast quality microphone that retails new for around £500 and has become the go-to microphone for several TV networks and is regarded as one of the best on the market. However, they can quite often be found for under £100 on the used market which makes them an extremely attractive option.
