remote microphone: Does the Sony HDR CX 550 allow for a remote microphone?

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

I can't answer that as I haven't tried it. There is an app called "Dragon Remote Microphone" which might fill your need. There is also an app called "Dragon Mobile Assistant." Again, haven't used it. Not on my list of things to do. Good luck.

I'm afraid not. I'm assuming that the remote releases only work for digital cameras.

Hi David K., The Sony Wireless Bluetooth Microphone is compatible on the camcorder. Vincent

Yes it has a microphone jack on the side and the accessory shoe on the top can accept proprietary accessories including zooming microphones or a wireless receiver for multiple microphones. The built in microphone is a surround sound microphone. I would recommend the zoom microphone for events you are not involved in planning. If you have input and can have the persons you want to record use your microphone I would use the wireless remote.

Hi there! This Sony DCR-SX45 doesn't have any input jack for microphone. -Ely

Call Sony direct and ask them. I don't think so. It supports some of the Sony digital voice recorders.

I haven't tried that and I'm not completely sure if you'd be able to do that. The best I can recommend is using a zoom h1 for each mic.

There an xlr input for external mics. I used a sony wireless system on the cam.

hey thanks for the info! as it turns out, my camera DOES have a mic input. boy do I feel stupid :) but i guess I won't need this one after all. I do think that it would work in a pinch, and thanks again for taking the time to respond-SelArom

I don't know. I have a Sony HDR-XR500 with a regular hot shoe on top. Receiver fits there. Unit is excellent. I've used it for a year for plays, musicals and small group recordings. I receive up to 300 ft (maybe more) from stage. AAA battery lasts for three hours. Mic is lipstick case size, clips to any flat surface or clothing. Sound is fine for general use.

It does not appear so. This adapter is for Sony's Universal Shoe. Your HDR-CX900 has a Multi Interface shoe. They aren't the same thing.

No. It has a P2 audio output jack and you will have noise and problems with audio. If your audio is captured other way, so use HDMI conector. But this camera is not full hd.

I don't have a Sony, I have a Zoom H1 recorder and this mic records on 1 channel.

Assuming the Sony DCR-TRV950 has a standard Mic input plug, yes. But this mic is really bad. You will likely not see any improvement in sound from this mic over the one built into the camcorder.

I am not sure if the remote switch uses 3.5 audio interface in the camera. If yes, then you can use this extender.
