Does the BOYA BY-M1 microphone work with the Sony ZV-1 camera? And what is the best external lapel lavalier clip-on mic for the Sony ZV1 anyway?  Here's my review and audio test of the Boya BYM1 - in short, I love this microphone, that's why I've used it on my last 3 cameras.
And does it work with the Sony ZV 1 camera, because it has a TRRS 3.5mm jack?  Yes, it does work. Beautifully.

IF THE BOYA BYM1 DOES NOT WORK WITH YOUR SONY ZV1 CAMERA:
If it's not working in the ZV 1, there are a few things that I'm sure you've checked but, just in case...
- is the battery pack in the cord switched on
- is the battery the correct way around? - the positive side is the flat side, not the bumpy side, which is the opposite from regular batteries like AA and AAA
- is the battery a dud? Might be worth trying with a new battery
- is the ZV1 audio switched off or on low level, easy to check by recording without the mic
- is the ZV-1 menu setting for audio set to 'on', easy to check by recording without the mic

There is a small possibility that the mic might not work - if you're able to check on another device - though if you plug it into a phone, dont forget to set the battery pack to 'off', and unplug the mic to check the playback!

Good luck and hope this helps!
