While it was announced at the same time as the Nikon RED ZR camera, it's taken a few more months for the ME-D10 Shotgun Mic to hit the stores.

If anyone has any money left after Christmas, the [Nikon ME-D10 Shotgun Mic](https://imaging.nikon.com/imaging/lineup/accessory/camera/me-d10/) is now available.

The ME-D10 is a 32-bit float shotgun microphone compatible with the new digital accessory shoe developed for the [ZR](https://www.redsharknews.com/nikon-zr-6k-full-frame-cinema-camera-red-color-science-32bit-float-audio). As such, it requires no battery or cable, while Nikon says the adoption of a shock mount and its compact design make for easy handling.

## Pure & Focus Modes

Designed to record 48 kHz/24-bit sampling, as well as professional-quality 48 kHz/32-bit float, it offers two recording modes, PURE and FOCUS, which can be selected with a switch on the microphone.

PURE mode features a wide dynamic range and a sound design true to the original source, allowing natural and accurate capture of raw audio, including the ambient atmosphere at a 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response without filtering.

FOCUS mode provides a 90 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response designed to accurately capture voice, even in noisy surroundings, ensuring clear audio for product presentations and live streams.

There is also a switch to change the pickup pattern from front cardioid, to rear cardioid, or to omnidirectional. A status LED on the front and back indicates when the mic is in use, and it can be adjusted between high beam, low beam, and off.

Weight is 86 g (3.1 oz) and physical dimensions are 34 × 58.5 × 73 mm (1.4 × 2.4 × 2.9 in).

## Pricing and Availability 

The ME-D10 Shotgun Mic is available now worldwide for $337, though they do rather seem to be flying off the shelves and availability is becoming rapidly limited.
