Is it compatable with other brands? Lets just say a person wants to use sony's bluetooth microphone with a canon or panasonic camcorder, is there even a way to connect the technology?

Went to Sonystyle website. The mike uses Sony's proprietary Active Interface Shoe(16pin) -Receiver.

I believe if you have a smart-phone, it should have bluetooth capability to work with the Panasonic model your inquiring about. You should be able to verify on your phone if you go to settings and see if there is a Bluetooth heading that gives you the capability of syncing with other types of accessories.

I wish I had an easy answer for you, Roger. 2 suggestions: 1) I found the customer service via SimpleSoft's website (http://www.simplesoftusa.com/) helpful. They responded within a day. 2) Keep trying different ports. I had trouble with the bluetooth microphone, and through trial and error, found a workable solution. It involved calling my wife several times, and asking if she could hear me. If not, I tried a different port. Eventually, 1 worked. Frustrating - and poor instructions - but in the end, worth the effort. Good luck!

You can read my full review. But when I finally got mine to pair with my Blue Tooth speakers it was on a .5 second delay / echo. Even if it would pair with your camcorder, I wouldn't use it due to the delay. The audio would be .5 second behind the lips of the person on camera

They don't actually connect to your camcorder using Bluetooth, on connect between the receiver and mic. There is a 3.5mm jack on the mic so if your cam has a 3.5 input then your good. I actually use a 3.5mm to XLR to connect it.

I know there's a microphone jack on the camera. It's just an RCA plug. Has anyone used a separate mic with the camera? If so, where did you find the microphone? I've been looking on the web. I'm glad that some things are included in the box. From the description, it seemed that there was nothing in the box but the camera -- not even a battery!

Yes it will work with any other compatible microphone even if you do not have a camera. My advice though is invest your money in a new Logitech Quick Cam in the long run you will be satisfied and get your investment back.

I use these with iPods for recording lectures. It should work with any Bluetooth-capable device with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR / HFP 1.5 or greater. Check your device specifications. You could have an older version of Android O/S. I use 3rd party software for recording. I use two identical mics with two recording devices for failsafe. If both mics turned on when connecting, the recording devices get confused. If you use two, turn each mic on and connect it separately.

It didn't work with mine. It's not a very good product. Plus it's old. I'm sure a new better microphone product has been released since.

Just to let you know you're not alone in wondering about an external mic input. I have two high-quality wireless microphones and a lot of experience using them. I won't consider a camcorder if it doesn't have an external audio input. I am disappointed that you haven't received a reply. Good Luck!

I am not so sure on the compatability issue. I also have the same concern as I am a MAC user. I know the Apple website seems to promote Canon camcorders leading me to believe they are more compatable.

Hi Mara, yes, you can use this microphone with the camcorder. You can connect it to the Active Interface shoe at the top of the camcorder. Thanks_Mitch

I've spent hours on google trying to figure out whether various camcorder models have microphone jacks. It is never in the description. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can Google "(model number brand) microphone jack" and find a review which specifies. I'm pissed off. It shouldn't take this long to shop for a camera.

I bought this SONY remote wireless microphone for use with the HDR-CX550v.Sony Wireless Bluetooth Microphone I tried it out in a wedding and I got the pastor to wear it under his outer vestments. The blue LED of the mic shone through - It was sorta funny. But it worked perfectly in capturing his words and the words of the couple getting married. The receiver module fits in the hot shoe and the camera will turn the received audio into the center channel along with the other channels picked up by the camera's 3 microphones. It worked great in the church. I was very happy with the effect. So this wireless mic is an accessory worth considering.

I was unable to get the sony headset to work as a Bluetooth player with my bluedio headphones but it works excellent to send music from another Bluetooth device e.g. like a phone to my sony noise canceling headphones which I attach it to. It also works great as a wired player to non-Bluetooth headphones by playing music on the micro sd card. I wish it could work as a bt player to bt headphones but I think it is a receiver and not a transmitter for sounds and that is why it cannot broadcast TO bt headphones on its own but can act as a receiver of other devices transmitting over bt. Hope this helps. It is an awesome device.
