Best wireless Zi8 microphone: I've heard great reviews of the Sony Wireless Bluetooth microphone and want to know if it fits the Kodak Zi8?

I recently purchased my zi8 and love the picture quality, but am soooo disappointed in the hassle I'm going through to get good sound. I'm trying to film small educational video blogs. I purchased a Shure wireless microphone and it's sound was not that good. When I called Kodak, was told it can not record in stereo, only in mono. They also told me @ Kodak that wireless mics did not work. Unless anyone knows of a bonified way to get good (to match the excellent video), I will be returning the zi8...which is not what i want to do. I'm dissapointed the sound quality is not as good as the video.

Hi, As far as I know they never set the Zi12 in full production. This listing is legit however, the product exists, so someone probably got hold of the few(?) ones that were actually made. If you buy it (like I did) there will be no support from Kodak or firmware updates etc. The camera in itself is wonderful and works perfectly though!

I bought a $60 or $70 audio-technica shotgun mic from full compass (fullcompass.com). The mic itself is great (very directional, good sound quality). Shotgun mics are the kind the pros use on a boom pole, but you can use it however you want. The only thing is that my SR1 creates a noticeable buzzing noise in the audio whenever it's recording. Some other people have the same problem. I'm waiting on that firmware update from sony to see if it helps. Just keep this in mind before you go spending a lot of money on a mic.

The Kenwood KIV-BT901 includes a wired microphone, not bluetooth, but the receiver supports bluetooth so you can use one if you choose. The wired mic is always on and doesn't require batteries so using a battery operated bluetooth mic does not appeal to me. Amazon sell bluetooth mics if you want one.

Your welcome, I'm just now learning how to use my new Zi8. I think I'm really going to like it. I also bought an extra battery for it, from Amazon. A Kodak KLIC-7004, just like the one that came with it. I would hate to be taking videos and have my battery run out. I'm checking into buying another battery charger too.

DCR-SR82 is what I use it on. It works incredibly well. All cam corders should have a wireless MIC. It makes an amazing difference. I would check with Sony at there site or maybe a Sony store in the mall. Pretty sure I was told it works on most models. You need to make sure you have a boot slot on the top (where a light goes). Downfall is you cannot use a light and the Mic at the same time.

Hi, this Sony Wireless Microphone uses 3.5 mm mini stereo jack. If your computer do support 3.5 mm jack, then it will work. -Ely

the series 3+ for sure [ i have one] and another one, just check the kodak site , and look at Z series for compatibility, I bought mine on a special at compgeeks for like 40 bucks. [refurb] and so far its flawless. Mostly bought it to charge the camera, search ebay for klic-8000 batteries. Bought like 3 on there for as little as 89cents.!

Hi, I am looking to buy a mic to attach to the accessory shoe on the Camcorder.Can I use any mic or do I need to buy a Panasonic mic only? Please recommend a good brand if I can use any off-the-shelf mic. Thanks!

This sad mic doesn,t even fit on most camcorders that sony makes and when you contact Sony direct , they send you the mic-- of course charge you for it and then you end up sending it back because it does not fit the hot shoe-- many of the Sony tech people do not have knowledge of product-- I,m very disapointed in the tech support people.. They need to train them more before letting them answer the phone.

I have now received my Zi8 and purchased a Sony ECM DS30P mic. I also bought a right-angle 3.5mm adapter, which positions the mic nicely, on the camera. Preliminary experimentation seems to indicate this arrangement will work well, particularly since the Zi8 has an adjustable mic gain.

John, I have the MKE 600 and I love it. It is a great directional mic and it sounds clear. I would check out beachtek.com. I am not into photography, I am a video guy. I purchased a camcorder audio adapter from beachtek and I love it too. They are a small Canadian company. Call their tech support and leave a message. They will call you back and help you choose the best adapter for your setup. You can find a good price for their adapters on Amazon and B&H.;
