If you are using this for a video, can you hook it up to your camera? My camera has a 'mic' input on the side, so I was just wondering.

The product is only the pole. You must buy the microphone separately. Buy a good mic that includes plugs for your camera. The pole itself for the price will do the job. Since the wire does not go inside the pole make sure to secure the wire well to the pole, so you do not get extraneous noise while filming. Also consider a mic cover while filming outside.

This is just the boom pole which holds the microphone. You would have to purchase the mic separately. I use it for a mic with video or for a small hair light.

This is just the boom pole, not the microphone. You can mount virtually any microphone you'd like to it.

This is not a microphone it is only the boom pole. If you want to use this for video you would have to purchase a microphone separately. Although I would not recommend this product as it broke after one use.

because this microphone has its own power supply it should work fine. I know some Sony cameras provide power over the microphone jack; this could be a problem. however, I haven't heard of other manufactures doing this. if by small mic input you mean 3/32" instead of 1/8", then you would need an adapter for the plug.

Yes you can plug this in to an audio interface. You will not need a standard mic cable, although it would be beneficial to have one depending on your interface. If the interface has both 1/4 inch and XLR jacks or a combo, you are good to go.

This has a 1/4" mono output which could be converted into another size with an adapter for receiving the audio. Otherwise, if you are looking to have the cameras mic sent, it uses a micro-XLR which would be very hard to convert, but it's possible. I believe there would be better solutions.

I have not used it to record but I have successfully used it to do video conference with audio and 2 headsets - but I can't confirm that both mics were used - just at at least 1 worked. The only thing to keep in mind is that this adapter is for support for stereo headphone and mic (it has 4 sections on the pin) so if your headphones and your recording device support this 4 sectioned pin you should be ok. For example a Macbook laptop port and iPhone headphones with built in mic will work.

If i am not wrong the camera does not have a Mic input, only the built in. You shoul be able to capture some natural sound, if you need better audio quality i would recomend another camera.

There is no way to connect an external audio source. The only audio option is the on-board mic....which is not bad, but not something you'd want to use for most productions...especially live streaming. I suppose it would be possible to crack open the handle near the mic, disconnect the on-board mic and rig up some kind of direct connection, but I've never tried it. It's a great camera...lots of options for people like me who live in the SD/HD world. But, when it comes to recording quality audio for video productions, I have to use a separate mic and audio recorder and then sync it up with the video in post. Not fun, but it works!

Hi, It seems there is no input for a mic, you will need to go to the next level, the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z29TYG, that has a mic input

I use this as a wireless mic for video recording interviews/podcasts/etc. I recently tried to tie it in with an amp/speaker system for the speaker at an awards banquet and had no luck. To be honest, I had very little time to attempt to figure out a way to make it work. It may be possible. It just didn't work for me in that capacity.

I'm sorry, I got it for my brother in laws camera, he videographed my wedding, it turned out awesome! So I say yes, great mic! I'm not 100% sure what type of camera it is but must be similar if mic is compatible. Sorry I couldn't help more!

Okay, first thing you must and I cant stress this enough but you must know how your camera mic jack is wired. All of my cameras that I use are canon and pentax. They are all stereo mic inputs. That means it uses 3 connectors. If you dont know what I am talking about... Take a look at a plug on a pair of headphones vs the plug that is on the mic. Chances are your camera is wire like this or real similar. I do not use the cable that comes with the mic. I use one made by Hosa that has XLR on the mic end and it has a 3 connectore(stereo)plug on the camera end. The mic is not stereo, it just simply sends the same mic signal to the tip and the ring on the stereo plug. The cable in known as a dual mono cable. If you do not use this cable the adapter that you get with the mic will ground the mic line and quite possibly do what you are experiencing. I use this mic in many situations and it works great. I get great results everytime but again it is very important that you use the right connector cable.

I currently use this with a Sony Digital Video Camera. It works great...I am able to use high quality mics with my camera to add to the HD video. I highly recommend it!

Haven't had that problem with mine. Be sure your cable is securely plugged into your camera and mic is my only suggestion.

I recommend a Fiio E6 amplifier between any microphone and camera, where the mic does not have a boost function. Without this, the sound may be poor and you may be tempted to blame the mic when the problem is actually in the camera.

I believe there is a mic that can be hooked up to it. As for the sound... I can say it does a decent job, however I usually keep sound off because in the past it was used as a dash cam.

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!

I actually received this product as a reward from coca-cola... anyways... if you, like me, have one that does have a mic cable attached to the camera, then there is a built in microphone. You have to manually select it from your control panel, but it's there, it works. As far as where in the device it is... I don't know. I know that I get the best sound when I talk directly towards the lens. Manufacturer Support Page : http://www.shophde.com/a32i.html
