Panasonic LUMIX Professional Microphone Adapter DMW-XLR1

If you are serious about sound when recording video with Panasonic Lumix S and GH cameras (including S1/1H/1R, S5II, S5IIX, GH6, GH7), this little device punches way above its weight. Connected to the hot shoe it turns the camera into a high-quality 24-bit 96 kHz two-channel recorder with two balanced full-size XLR inputs with impressive 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response at 48 kHz sampling rate and unbelievable 20 to 40 kHz at 96 kHz sampling rate. All settings are adjusted via analog dials and switches, no buttons, no hard-to-read tiny LCD dials; feels proper old-school. This thing is tiny and super light compared to professional recorders with similar specs, not to mention, it does not require additional mounting surfaces because it sits in the camera hot shoe.
