Nikon Shotgun Microphone ME-D10

COMPLETE DESCRIPTION

The Nikon ME-D10 is an advanced shotgun microphone designed to deliver crystal-clear sound in any shooting environment. Fully integrated with Nikon’s digital accessory shoe, it requires no batteries or cables—power is supplied directly from the camera. This makes setup fast and clean, ideal for documentaries, interviews, vlogs, and mobile filmmaking.

Its PURE and FOCUS modes adapt the microphone’s response to different scenarios. PURE mode captures a natural, full-range sound suitable for post-production, while FOCUS mode emphasizes vocal clarity and reduces background noise in loud environments. The high-sensitivity MEMS array ensures stable, accurate sound with minimal distortion.

The ME-D10 targets videographers, journalists, and independent filmmakers who demand professional results in a compact setup. Thanks to its lightweight build, 32-bit float recording, and direct camera power, it’s an essential tool for modern content creation.

Digital Shoe Power

Powered directly through Nikon’s digital accessory shoe—no external batteries or cables required, ensuring a clutter-free setup.

Compact and Lightweight
