adapter to mount on a cold shoe? Does anybody know if there's an adapter so I can mount this mic on a cold shoe and plug it into the mic input of the camcorder?

There are cold shoe adapters, however the DM-50 must be directly inserted into the "S" mini shoe to work.

Hi Corey, this Sony ADPAMA shoe adapter will work only on other non-Sony camera. It is not compatible. -Ely

It has a mini-hot shoe. I highly recommend purchasing the Canon external shotgun mic with the mini-hot shoe. It comes with a windscreen (dead cat) and is a very good mic. Then you don't need a hot shoe adapter.

Hey, I haven't really heard one yet, but if your camera has a 3.5mm headphone jack, don't use the included 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter because it is cheap and it may make some noise. You can purchase a quality adapter on eBay, Amazon, or Radio Shack. Hope this helps!! ;)

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.;

It should. It has a threaded hole at the base, where the cold shoe adapter screws into. I successfully screwed it onto my camcorder sled, and they should be the same size.

I am not sure if there is a mic adapter for that mic. I am sorry that i can not answer your question.

It uses a conventional coldshoe foot. If the FS100 has one, it'll mount to it directly. If it has the proprietary Sony shoe you'd need an adapter of some sort.

It has a cold shot to load on any cold shoe. Don't know what adapter you are referring to. It does get a little good while in use but nothing too awful, may have to re-tighten once in an 12 shoot, fits lights and mics firmly, it looks great and professional.

Hi. I'm actually just now looking into this. You need a mini XLRf or TA4f (same thing) to 3.5mm adapter. I found the following item available on Amazon: Convert SHURE Mic to SENNHEISER Headset Tie-clip YPA MA407 Adapter Connector. Just in case you didn't return this mic already.Hope this helps!P.S. background in IT, DIY electronics, and church stage-support.

Do not trust the adapter that comes with this rig for a Yeti. The metal Yeti will eat the plastic threads on the adapter for lunch. I believe this is the one you need: Microphone Screw Adapter 5/8-inch Male to 3/8-inch Female 2pcs Pack Ordering this one myself, so I'm not 100% sure.UPDATE: I just got the above referenced adapter and it didn't work. The female threads on the Yeti don't bite on the male threads of the adapter. HOWEVER, I think the problem is the Yeti and not the adapter. I tried it on other mic stands that I have and got the same behavior. Called Blue and they are processing a warranty claim for me. Do not trust the adapter that comes with this rig for a Yeti.

Hi Lola, yes, the adapter is compatible with the camera's Multi-Interface Shoe. Thanks_Mitch

You can definitely plug the mic in and it will work, but I don't see where the shoe will fit to hold the mic. Unless of course you use a boom-pole then it won't matter.

If the camera thinks there's a flash attached, you could put some thin tape over the bottom of the mic shoe. Don't know if that will work, though. You might be better off getting a right-angle adapter with a mounted cold shoe. The worst problem (with the 5N, at least) is that the sensor gets hot and the camera ultimately shuts down. If you get that warning, be sure to hit the Record button so it will save the file. If you just shut the camera off, you won't have anything.

I guess my first question is, why do you want to attach an audio recorder to your camcorder? I would place it next to what you want to record and then use editing software to add the extra track, although I found the very slight difference in recording speed caused me to have to realign during pauses. I primarily used the H4 to record the string quartet or orchestra, up close to minimize crowd noise. Used a wireless to send it to my camcorder onto the left channel and a wirelss to house sound/or shotgun to the right channel. I have the HF G10 and G30, both have the mini and I have used the adapter on my G10 (the G30 comes with both a standard shoe and the mini) and it was OK for a shotgun I tried on it. I also had the Zoom H4 (not the N). I would say yes, because the plastic part fits onto the metal part of the camcorder mini and the top full size shoe is metal and it is a tight, secure fit. On a tripod you should be fine. With the weight of the H4 I wouldn't expect it to handle rough use, "Run and Gun" probably not a good idea. Handheld with casual moving around, should be OK. Hope that helps

Hi Mona, yes, you can connect external accessories such as a mic to the Multi Interface shoe of the camcorder. Thanks_Mitch

The adapter you are looking for is the "Sony ADPMAA Shoe Adaptor for Mi Shoe". If you type that into the Amazon search it should show up as the first result.
