GH2: Movember Gala Party from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.
Philip Bloom tested the new secret external mic for the GH2: “I took the UK pre-production [shoplink 16254]GH2[/shoplink] with me along with the [shoplink 15659]Voigtlander 25mm f.95[/shoplink] and a brand new DSLR mic which I can’t say exactly what it is just yet, except it’s bloody awesome as you will hear. It was plugged straight into the GH2 (there are meters on the LCD for audio levels and manual control but no headphone jack) and I recorded most of the vox pops in the noisiest part of the club and you can still hear them. Amazing! As soon as I can blog about this new mic I will. It is going to be a DSLR must have.”
Philip hopes Panasonic will add 25p on the european GH2 model. And for him one of the most amazing features is the 1080p 1:1 cropping mode. And I could not agree more!
Hurry! Fotomundus has one single [shoplink 15659]Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95 Nokton in Stock on eBay and shipping worldwide (Click here)[/shoplink].

a bit strange it doesn’t have a headphone socket so doesn’t make use of the audio levels or manual controls, I use the Azden WMS-Pro with my GH1 which does have a headphone socket 😀
goodness gracious… when are we going to read about testing new lens cup for GH2?
site became so influenced by shop links that I wonder if Amazon have more info…
??? So you say that this is not an interesting news? Ok, it’s not a new camera or lens rumor but I guess not a few future GH2 owners will be happy to read that rumor. This website speaks to a great group of people and delivers many different news. If you are not interested in some of them just skip it and enjoy your Sunday taking photos. That’s more important than reading 43rumors 🙂
“admin” does a lot to help inform and entertain us here @43 RUMORS, be easy on him!
YES, I will be using one of his links when I purchase the G2 and a lens or two soon. It costs us nothing more than a moment of our time and helps promote this website.
Simply the best video quality. It shows that the Panasoinc GH2 is the creative camera for 2010 & 2011.
To bad sombody couldn’t release it in time. I wonder who I am talking about about it hummmmm?
Sorry Panasoinc but your going to get some stick from me all month 🙂
Back to topic!!
Admin, have you received any rumors whether this is a camera-mounted follow-up to the DMW-MS1?
This is not a GH2 specific mic. It is a new shotgun mic with a 3.5mm jack. Apart from the size of the jack being to big for the GH2 it is the perfect mic for it. Absolutely stellar quality as you can hear.
Sorry for the repost, wrong reply…
Philip, I guess that a simple 3.5mm>2.5mm adapter does the trick?
Why are the colors so awful in that video? Purple skin tones? Sheesh!

er…ir’s called a NIGHT CLUB!! That is what the colours were in there. Sheesh!!
Thanks Philip. Two more questions:
1) Does the mic fit on the shoe on the GH2?
2) Have you tried Panasonic’s shotgun mic, and if so, how does it compare?
yep a simple adaptor
So what is the Mic and how much? Or any suggestions for a “reasonable” all around mic?
What a information of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious experience
