RED DSMC button mics?

[Steven Caesare]

Are these the small "button" microphones that Red has alluded to as being available for the Epic and Scarlet to plug in the the balanced 3.5mm jacks on the front of the body here on Shawn Bannon's picture?:



Anybody get chance to check them out, or get a closer pic?

I saw these too. They might just be for protecting the port. Anybody know?

Tell me more, whatsa button mike and what did they mention?

Jarred (at least I think It was Jarred,) told me around November 30th that RED would be releasing Button microphones that plug into the front jacks for ENG style shooting.

I'm not sure, but 'button mic' sounds to me like it would be more for scratch tracks to help sync audio than for ENG shooting... Mainly because little electret condenser mics do look like buttons and you could easily make a little mic that plugged straight into the front with one or two of them.

Kudos to Joseph, but shot with my camera

Well that looks rather nifty, but aren't those puppies just going to pick up camera noise exceedingly well? I get the idea, but does anyone know how they're different from other mics? Specs?

[Tom Visser]

I think its a great idea, simply plug them in when you just want scratch / guide tracks, plug into an outboard mixer for professional shoots, or even directly to wireless receivers for wireless booms / lavs. I really love the idea of no built in mics.

Anything that small and convenient will serve many useful purposes other than pro-quality audio recording.

Yeah, I never got those on my mac. A little bit overexposed, but I didn't have enough time to get the right shots. :p
