 The Sony ECMHST1 Stereo Microphone - Excellent Sony worksmanship. November 5, 2006

This stereo microphone is an excellent replacement for the on-board mono mic on the HC-3. You get extremely crystal-clear audio fidelity with the option of switching to a wider sound range. The only beef I have is with it's size... If you like to carry your HC-3 alot (which I do) the camera becomes much less compact (you'll notice how far it sticks up)... I suppose this is a testament to the HC-3's minute size and portability. But for stand-alone applications (such as recording a live band on a tripod, still nature settings, etc) this is the mic to beat. And with the fuzzy wind-protector and carrying pouch included, theres no reason not to pick up this mic. For serious stereo-sound recording applications, The Sony ECMHST1 Stereo Microphone is worth your time and money.

The on-board mic on my camcorder is very good. The only drawback is that it picks up wind noises, which sound loud and raspy on playback. I purchased this mic for my HC-96 mainly for the windscreen to reduce wind noise during outdoor shooting. It does reduce the loudness of the wind to a low rumble. I wonder if I could achieve the same thing by taping a piece of foam over the on-board mic. Other than that, I can't tell if the mic improves the quality of the recording. In fact, it seems to attenuate the sound when I recorded a children's musical in church with overhead speakers. It certainly attracts attention with the fuzzy windscreen on and givess an air of professionalism. Overall I feel neutral about this product.
 This thing is worthless!!!!!!!! January 6, 2007

Don't buy it. If you must, please buy mine. It picks up a huge motor noise from the camera and the sound is not improved in the least. Shame on Sony. I love my Sony hdr-hc3 camcorder, but this is one of their low points.
Can I rate it with minus 5 stars?

This mic worked fine for my application, but for most home movies, I really don't see the necessity for it. It did remove any noise associated with the camcorder, but still left enough hiss from the tape that you will need to eq the audio when editing.

This mic works really good because it sits up off the body of your camcorder so it will not pick up motor/disc/tape drive noises like the stock mic that is in the body. It also comes with a wind sock that works extremely well for outdoor use. It will big time cut down the wind noise on your recordings. It is a stereo only mic so if your cam has 5.1 surround you will lose that. I have also owned the HQP1 which is the 5.1 version of this mic and it worked great as well but it is no longer available. Oh yes by the way it does create better sound for your video than the stock mic. I highly recommend this addon.
