Panasonic DMW-MS2 for GH3

The Panasonic DMW-MS2 is a stereo shotgun microphone built specifically for the DMC-GH3 mirrorless camera. It targets videographers and content creators who need selectable pickup patterns without carrying separate mics. The bundle adds a mic holder, windjammer, cable ties, cleaner and a fibre cloth for a ready-to-shoot kit. Buyers needing XLR inputs or multi-channel recording should look elsewhere.

Powered by camera plug-in power

The MS2 draws power directly from the GH3 through a 3.5 mm plug-in connection, so no batteries are required. All gain and mode settings are adjusted inside the camera menu, keeping the workflow self-contained. The supplied holder uses a vibration absorption mechanism to dampen motor and handling noise from the body. A windjammer and the camera’s wind-cut function further reduce outdoor wind interference.

Hot-shoe mount with 6.5 ft extension

The microphone slides onto the camera’s hot shoe for a compact profile, or it can be detached and positioned on a tripod using the included 6.5 ft extension cable. This flexibility suits both run-and-gun shooting and static interview setups. The bundle’s cable ties and cloth help keep the rig tidy in the field. Users without a GH3 or a compatible hot-shoe interface cannot mount or power this unit.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the DMW-MS2 on the GH3 and which step is often missed?

Slide the microphone onto the camera's hot shoe, then connect the built-in 3.5 mm plug into the mic jack; the step many skip is enabling plug-in power and selecting stereo or shotgun mode in the GH3 menu so the capsule actually receives power.

What ongoing care does the bundle require?

Use the supplied Goby Labs cleaner and fiber cloth on the capsule and windjammer after dusty or humid shoots, check the vibration-absorption holder's elastic bands for sag, and replace the 6.5 ft extension cable if the connector becomes intermittent.

What is the first limitation you hit during long recording sessions?

Because the MS2 draws plug-in power from the GH3, the camera's battery drains faster than when using the internal mic, so extended sessions are limited by the camera's remaining charge rather than the microphone itself.
