Questions & Answers

Shopper : compatible for fujifilm xq1?JOSE C : No, different camera system. Will only work with Olympus modelsWILLIAM R : Yes, I'm pretty sure that it is.LUC N : It should not because if you look at the bottom of the connector it has a specific plug to communicate with the camera (metal part you can see on the picture). That would also prevent to mount it on the Fuji because it would bump against the body.ANDREW R : Compatible with Olympus E-P2 & E-PL1 Digital Cameras
Fred D : compatable with EPL-8??WILLIAM R : Yes....JOSE C : Yes it will work with the EPL-8, I have the EPL-7 (same specs as the 8, just minor design changes) and it works as advertised
Craig D : Just got a new OE-M10 Mark III. Is this the mic I want?WILLIAM R : Yea, that will work. Happy audio!KARL B : No, like the E-M10 Mk II, it does not have an accessory port so the SEMA-1 will not fit on it. Also both the Mk II and III do not have a microphone port either, so there is no way to connect an external microphone to either E-M10 model.ADAM B : Sorry but no. I bought this adapter for the E-M10 Mark II and it doesn't have the proper hotshoe port for this. No external mic options for the M10 line unfortunately.JOSE C : No, this one will not work since your model does not have the accessory port. Buy a regular external microphone, ie Rode brand etc

Good adapter but bad mic

W ith a good sony mic it works wonderful. the mic that came with it has a grinding noise when it is mounted directly to the adapter.

Worked Perfectly

The Mic worked perfectly with the new E-PL5 I also purchased from Adorama. The lead was a bit short, but that was not a big deal since any local electronics store or office supply store would have for a few bucks. Installing the Mic was easy, and the pickup was decent enough to keep other noise away.

An External Microphone for the E-M5

Too many camera reviewers are apparently unaware the OM-D E-M5 has an external microphone port — an essential requirement for professional video production! The kit includes everything you need including a clip to pin the included stereo microphone on your talent's clothing. The output sound is much improved over the camera's built-in microphones (which are cancelled out when using this mic kit). If you need even better audio re-production you can plug a professional lavallièr, boom, or wireless system into this port and "Voilá!" you have pro-audio using the E-M5 for your HD video production! What could be cooler? The only things missing which would be a nice addition to the kit are a couple of mini wind socks and a small carrying case for the bits. I've ended up using a rigid shell internally cushioned eyeglass case for this purpose. So if you need pro-audio capability or just want improved sound for your video productions, get this kit. It works!

Great for the OM-D

A much needed accessory for the OM-D. It lets me use a Sennheiser microphone for video recording, since the OM-D does not have a 3.5mm jack built in.

A needed accessory

This microphone is a must have item to out-perform the built in mic. You need to add on a piece of foam to cut down wind noise though. I modified mine by using a foam brush and it works just fine. I wish the wire is much thicker so it will last longer and provide better transmission. All in all, it is a good accessory to own for making better video.

For impressive sound quality the Olympus SEMA-1 (includes adapter and microphone) is the perfect adapter set. This set contains the EMA-1 adapter and ME51S Stereo Microphone to provide high sound recording. The EMA-1 attaches to the E-P2's or E-PL1's accessory port and mounts on the camera's hot shoe.

The ME51S Stereo Microphone then attaches to the EMA-1. Also includes a 3.3 foot extension cable with clip to extend the microphone further from the camera body. Image shows the EMA-1 with ME51S mounted on E-P2 body (not included).
