Could I plug this into a Video camera and use it as a microphone? or would I have to sync the separate audio to the video later?

So long as your camera has an outlet for it, the H2N has the ability to do so.

If your video camera has an USB input (USB line in) then H2n should work for simultaneous sound/video recording. However, if you are only using it as a microphone that connects to your video camera then there are cheaper alternatives. If your plan is to hold the video camera and the mic (H2n) then don't! H2n is top heavy and has poor balance when connected to the adapter or tripod.

I don't think so because you have a left and right audio input channel and a video input channel. You'd have to split left and right audio channels and the video would not carry sound. I don't think it will work for your application.

Not really. This microphone needs phantom power, so you need an interface on the other end that can provide power to the microphone.

No. You need a preamp that provides phantom power like a juicedLink or similar. Another option would be a mic that has it's own preamp like a Rode VideoMic.

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.

The connector doesn't fit. If you needed better audio you can use something like a Zoom H1 or some other professional recording device and slate your audio with video in post production. You can also try an adapter that fits the camera and mic. I don't know what kind of quality you will get.

I have never tried this, but if there is a way to connect the camera to your computer that would work with ustream or livestream, I don't see any reason why not. I would suggest using a lav mic (powered) for all audio. When using an external mic with this camera, it's best to run the camera on battery power as opposed to plugging it in as this camera is prone to picking up noise from the power source with an external mic plugged in. Hope that made sense.

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!

Will only connect video. sound is separate, you need to connect audio jack or a/v/jack cable to hear sound.

I would not recommend this to be used for audio, the microphone quality sound is pretty terrible compared to headset microphones I've used. I would recommend using the WebCam with a different audio input device

Unfortunately, this camera has no audio capabilities. in fact, truth is that this is little more than a camera taking a picture every 1/2 second. to pull video off of it, you would need specialized tools or screen recording software. its not for what your thinking, by the sound of it.

I think you should be able to do so, In past, I used a different adapter that worked. However you'll lose video quality and you won't get audio from the adapter.

Deborah I would assume that it can be plugged into your video camera by using the quarter inch audio mixer port on the rear of the receiver. You will probably have to use an adapter to connect the quarter inch audio cable supplied to a 1/8th inch audio cable to connect into your video camera audio port. God's blessings...

All you do is just plug it in and find in the system this camera and mark it to work as a camera and a microphone. It is very simple, no other stuff is necessary. It still works for me, but only as a microphone (video broke some time ago)

You would probably need a splitter that separates audio and microphone but they're cheap little cables.

I use this primarily when I am shooting a wedding reception and can cable it directly to the DJ board. You can use it as a stand alone recorder then sync up to your video later when editing.

Think of this equipment as merely a way of eliminating the mic cables you would otherwise have between the bride, the groom, and the equipment that will take the signals from the microphones and record them. Such equipment would likely be a mixer (pre-amp) which then feeds the signals to the recording device. If your camera is capable of accepting multiple mic inputs simultaneously, you may not need a mixer. I'm not familiar with video /camera equipment, so I can't be sure it would work without a mixer.
