I bought this SONY remote wireless microphone for use with the HDR-CX550v.Sony Wireless Bluetooth Microphone I tried it out in a wedding and I got the pastor to wear it under his outer vestments. The blue LED of the mic shone through - It was sorta funny. But it worked perfectly in capturing his words and the words of the couple getting married. The receiver module fits in the hot shoe and the camera will turn the received audio into the center channel along with the other channels picked up by the camera's 3 microphones. It worked great in the church. I was very happy with the effect. So this wireless mic is an accessory worth considering.

Yes. The HDR-CX550 has an external mike input socket located on the lower right hand side of the camera.

Hi Afr, Sony RMTDSLR2 Remote Commander is compatible on the Sony A55 Camera. -Vincent

no, unlike the iPhone or android headphones there is no remote or microphone.

Yes, there is a microphone jack on the camera and you may use an external mic.

basically any external microphone will work. The camera has a 3.5mm input, so the mic will either need that input or for it to be converted.

Yes, you can use the remote mic connection to attach an external speaker. Personally, I would go with the external mic as it also functions as an intercom.

According to web site aquatix.com: "The 2013 Sony HDR-Series camcorders require a Sony VMC-AVM1 Adapter to mate with the A/V-R controller interface: CX220, CX230, etc." So, you need an adapter for the remote cable.

As long as your device has the Sony Active Interface Shoe on which the receiver for the wireless mic will mount it will work. I went to the Sony website and found the specs for the HDR CX-7 which says it has the Active Interface Shoe. But you should check your CX-7 to be sure. The cover for the shoe on the CX-7 should be marked with the Active Interface logo: a stylized, capital A with a single dot over it. The wireless mic is no longer made by Sony and since Sony uses a proprietary interface, only the Sony device will work. To my knowledge, there are no third parties that make devices that use the Active Interface design. Hope this helps.

according to my research on fujifilm. com the fuji x100s does not have remote capibality. and upon looking at product images and veiws i did not see a port on the camera where to connect a remote to. i have the fuji hs50exr and my camera shows an image of what each port is for on the side i.e. where the microphone connecets, the remote, hdmi, and usb. good luck.

There is an hdmi mini out which I haven't used, so don't know if it would function the way you want but I'm thinking so. There is an external mic input as well as a headphone jack, though I tried a couple high end shotgun microphones only to get a horrible buzzing sound. The jack works just fine with a lapel mic I tested and a cheap external digital recorder I tried. When I called Sony to find out the tech specks on the jack, they told me it was proprietary info and left me with no help. The store I was working with have up as well helping me find a microphone that would work well with no buzzing. It's a nice camcorder if you can get a used one at a decent price, but for just a little more money there are some better choices. Best of luck on your purchase!

Your Sony has XLR inputs. Just disconnect the on-camera mic and use an XLR cable to plug this in. Either mount it in place of old one, if possible, or carry separately.

The transever plugs into the sony remote mike recepticle. I do not know if the JVC and sony plugs are compatible but would guess that they are. Plugging in the remote disables the internal mikes. Easiest test would be to go to a dealer that carries the remote mike and check it out. On my Sony recorder, the mike system is an excellent addition for Weddings and other long range recordings where you have access to the subject prior to recording.

Operation for this Sony Wireless Microphone is to connect the receiver to the microphone jack IN of camcorder, tape recorder etc. You may check you Panasonic HC-V201 if it do have mic in for the connection of the transmitter. -Ely

Yes. The button can also be used to control playback like the stock headset and the mic will work just fine on calls as well. No volume controls on the remote though.

I asked at the Phonak booth at the HLAA national convention, and they said that the remote mic is made to pair with the ComPilot, not other things. Are you using the ComPilot? There is another Phonak accessory that is specifically for the TV.
