Can the DM-100 work in conjunction with a wireless mic pack plugged into the 'mic in' port, or does camera only "listen" to the mini hotshoe port?

No, I do not think so. Reading the instruction manual (see page 84, "Audio Mix"), you can mix the audio from the internal mic with the audio from an external device. But the external device must be one connected to the MIC IN jack. I did a test, and connecting the DM-100 to the hot shoe automatically disconnects the MIC in jack, and disables the menu option that allows mixing internal and external audio. So you cannot mix the audio from the mini advanced hot shoe with any other audio input.

I'm not positive, but I think it can work with a wireless mic pack. I remember reading something about that but since it wasn't applicable to my situation, I didn't retain any of those details. I'm afraid you'll have to do additional research but I think it will be worth it. For what it's worth, the "dead cat" only does a marginal job of wind noise reduction, but the mic settings work well as intended.

It will work but you will also need an adapter. Amazon has one: http://www.amazon.com/Movo-GMA100-Microphone-Adapter-Editions/dp/B00N0DTIFM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1428352926&sr=8-3&keywords=3.5mm+mic+adapter+gopro +

Yep! Even with the old D100, also worked with my old D2Xs! Hope this answers it... Cheers! :)

There's no reason it wouldn't work with anything that has a mic input, but its designed to be handsfree with a hot shoe mount, so it might not be ideal. Really depends on what you're trying to shoot, but yes, it'll function!

If your Nikon camera is equipped with a mini stereo Mic input then yes it should work. It is not designed for hot shoe data communications though. Hope this helps

That depends on your camera. My XA10 will allow me to mix from the onboard mic and to isolate the WM-V1 when needed. I don't know if all cameras allow this or not.

you need a three prong audio input adapter to 3.5mm or what ever your input is on wireless receiver and the input on dvx100 is three prong audio input,so you need to adapt to dvx100 audio input three prong input.the dvx100a has two three prong inputs.

I tried to modify my AZden SGM-2X in an attempt to modify it for a special use and destroyed it. The wires inside are extremely tiny and I can see no way to repair it. Anyway, the few times I used the mic before destroying it I wasn't impressed with its abilities. I too was trying to use it inside. I wish I had at least tried it outside listening to birds or something. Sorry, I am no help.

Just ran into this message thread, looking to update my wireless mic setup for my Zi8, that I've had since Christmas. Rick-whoever you talked to at Kodak must not be very well-knowledged. I have been using a wireless mic that I've had for nearly 30 years. I'm looking to find one with updated technology, hoping the quality will be a bit better. Hope I can, but if I can't, I know I have one that does work with it. It's an old RCA, but its range is only about 15-18 feet and I have to get the mic close to my mouth or decent sound pickup.

This is not a wireless mic, it uses a standard balanced XLR connector. The Sennheiser SKM100 is the wireless version of this microphone (it uses the same capsule) and is compatible with the EM100 receiver.

i have it hooked up to a Blue Icicle through to my Mac mini on 10.9 and it works great. No need to buy a 100$+ system if its only one mic!

This mic is not made to be plugged into a camera directly! You need the transmitter and receiver as well!I got this to replace the mic that came with my audio package!

Works with any camcorder/ DSLR that has a microphone input jack (mini plug or xlr )

Both work as receiver and transmitter. Put one on your hotshoe and connect it with the supplied cord to the cable release port on the camera. Fire the camera with the other unit. There is a long range on these units. Different cameras use different cables. Make sure you order the correct one. My D800 used the N1 and my D610 users tyne N3. Look closely at the description to order the correct one.

Ti, the bi-directional audio does work with just Microsoft windows and Microsoft's browser Internet Explorer (IE), using Microsoft's proprietary ActiveX plug-in. Once you connect with IE, and log into your camera, you will be prompted to download the camera's ActiveX script additional plug-in that controls the audio. Once the ActiveX additional camera plug-in is downloaded and executed, you should be able to click on the camera website icons for the microphone audio. Once enabled, you should be able to hear sound from the camera. I've even added a small 4" loadspeaker on a 3.5 mm plug to let me talk to anyone near the camera--it does work! the problem is that you must rely upon Microsoft's proprietary ActiveX service to run the camera's control script. It all works, but not easily done. Also, I found the audio worked best with a wired Ethernet connection vs. WiFi. y wiFi was too 'bursty' and resulted in broken speech and sounds. But, my camera is mounted outside inside a protective clear dome. Even so, the audio is clear and crisp. The microphone picks up local passing trains, approaching cars, local thunder claps, local children sounds of play, and local barking dogs.

You might be able to use a USB - RS485 adaptor, depending on the software that controls the camera and what it expects to see as a RS485 port
