Can the Zoom H6 be plugged with an audio cord in to the Canon XA20 and will audio sync with video as I'm making a recording?

Provided the Canon XA20 has a 3.5mm mic input the Zoom H6 will work perfectly for that purpose. You might get better results recording separate audio from both the camera and the Zoom H6 though and syncing them up in post production later - that's how I do it.

The H6 has a 3.5mm output jack. If your camera had a 3.5mm input it's as sime as plugging in a 3.5mm male to male cable. If your camera has a different input, then you will need an adapter that will convert the 3.5mm male adapter to what you need, which can be purchased at a local electronics store or on Amazon. I have a custom cable guy that makes cables to my specifications.

The HC-V720 has NO headphone jack. I wish it did. The camcorder has a good built-in mic. But if you're shooting in windy conditions, the built-in mic will pick up nasty wind noise. You'll get better-quality audio by plugging in an external microphone, like a Rode Videomic with a dead cat wind muff. But you can't monitor real-time audio. If you need to use a pro-quality external XLR mic, buy something like a BeachTek audio adapter with built-in preamps -- it has a headphone jack.

It will record audio during video. Ive not triewd zooming so cant answer your second question. I have to say that as time goes by,m Im less enthused byb this camera. It was cheap, being an old model, but I dont think Id buy it again. It takes too long to zoom in or out and serches way too long to focus in lower light conditions.

For your camera I like the Canon DM-50 Directional Microphone requires no power source or cords to plug into the camera. Just attach to the advanced hotshoe and go. Google the DM-50 and read the reviews. Although, if you don't mind a pigtail cord and a 9V battery for the power; the aforementioned Rode is very sweet too. They are both about the same price.That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it. -Hutch

My son is using it on the canon xa10. There was an adjustment necessary. So it very well should work with the xa20.

I have done many interviews with both of my x920s, and have had no problems. If you have concerns, use an additional audio recorder, and then simply synch the music with the video. I always have a separate audio recording, just in case....although, as I said, I haven't had any problems with internal noise.

Dear customer,this is greeting from Loftek. If you want to use the audio,i suggest you install a output audio at the back of the camera,there is a hole there as you can see.

It all depends where you want the Audio recorded to. If you intend to record the sound onto the video media, all you really have to do is connect the audio out from the H1 to the microphone input onboard the camera. From there, you only need to turn the H1 ON. (you can test this by just plugging some headphones into the H1 output, then turn up the input sensitivity while the device is on, it works like a hearing aid :). I recommend giving it a test run, especially with tuning your H1's sensitivity (i.e. its input level). Getting the sensitivity tuned for the setting you are recording in is critical to getting a good quality signal. (lookup H1 Clipping). Oh, to answer you. NO, you don't have to press record on the zoom to get the audio out of it, UNLESS you are recording the audio ONTO the H1 Memory separate from the Camera, then mixing it later.

Yes..a sync cord is included. This flash has a flaw with the hot shoe..the plastic shoe will break from the weight of the flash..I broke 3 of them..one on the first use.

The end of the camera cable has a red power cord a black ground cord and a video rca. The power cords will need to be wired into a switch or ignition power source. As long as your stereo head has a video in rca cable it should work fine

I haven't used this feature personally but there is a powered 3.5 mm stereo audio jack on the port side of the camera. By default, the audio input here is subject to AGC (automatic gain control) but BeachTek (and probably others) makes an audio adapter that nullifies the AGC.

The Lumix DMC-FC60K does not have an audio jack. That means the audio would record noise from the zoom motor when activated. For the price good video quality. Viewfinder is a great feature for outdoor shooting.

No, it can plug into anything that has a normal audio jack. just make sure you camera says mic and not headphone, cuz the jack is the same.

Joey, I have the H20 and I just received my VCL-DH1758. I also have the VCL-DH0758 (wide angle) you WILL need the adaptor VAD-HA. The adaptor works well and is actually pretty cool. It slides right over the built in lens and an 1/8 of a turn causes it to click and lock into place. The camera looks like a small DSLR, the photos are great and I've even received compliments on the look of the setup. If you haven't already done so, pick up the VAD-HA and have fun with your new setup!

Hopefully I'm understanding the question correctly, but if you're using an external recorder for your primary audio, it won't matter a bit. This thing is on the output side of that device. If you're putting it between a pre-amp of some sort like a JuicedLink or whatever, then there might be some loss. On the other hand, if you want good audio, the in-camera recorder isn't the place to get it anyway.

You use a standard audio wire that goes from the Headphones/Line Out output of the Zoom to the input of the recorder. I do it all the time.

This camera does not have audio. You can purchase a small microphone that plugs into the cable and runs off the same power cord as the camera. I have two of them on my cameras and they work very well. I do suggest you put a windscreen on them or the wind noise can over do the audio.
