Panasonic has announced the new Lumix DMW-DMS1, a compact digital shotgun microphone designed to integrate seamlessly with its latest mirrorless cameras and offer top-quality audio without the usual tangle of cables. The DMS1 is positioned as an all-in-one solution for hybrid creators shooting everything from travel vlogs to studio interviews and live events.

The microphone connects directly via the camera’s hotshoe, drawing power and transmitting digital audio without the need for additional leads, helping to streamline run-and-gun setups. At launch, the DMS1 is compatible with the Lumix S1II, S1RII, S1IIE, S5II, and S5IIX, with support for the GH7 and G9II planned via future firmware updates.
