The Zoom M3 MicTrak is a lightweight, compact stereo on-camera shotgun microphone and recorder designed specifically for video applications. It combines professional 32-bit float recording with a flexible mid-side microphone capsule that lets you capture pristine audio for everything from filmmaking and journalism to documentary work. With selectable mono, 90-degree, and 120-degree stereo modes, you get complete control over sound capture and stereo width, while the built-in 32-bit float recording engine eliminates the need to set input levels and handles up to 133dB SPL without clipping.

Weighing just 135g, it features a durable shock mount designed for camera attachment, 3.5mm line and headphone outputs for monitoring and camera integration, microSD card storage up to 1TB, and up to 12 hours of battery life on two AA cells.
