What type of boom mic should I get for this camera?

I'm not sure what you mean by the boom mic, however, any mic with the three pin jack would work as i did in my case. I use both a cordless and a regular corded mic. Hope this helps.

Your mic should come with an adapter the should fit the boom. The boom gets the job done and it's strong! Trust...

I believe in keeping it simple. If it has a mic input, you can't go wrong. I shoot with a Nikon and the audio quality of my videos is great. As the saying goes: "I never leave home without it!"

my model has the mic for a closed face helmet. There is and options for a boom mic that will work with open face..

all you need is an xlr cable the mic on your camera might do though if you have a xf 305. but a xlr cable will do just fine

I love the mic. If the hotshoe doesnt power it the kit comes with battery. I use it on my canon 60d for shooting sports video. Great sound. I just added the tascam for better recording

You have to have a extra duty boom mic stand to use this as its HEAVY. It will not work on a cheap tripod or weighted mic stand without possibly falling. You would have to get the Ulitmate stand that is a professional studio boom, or your mic will be the only thing going BOOM!

I should've probably simply clicked the "I don't know" option, but when I was shopping for mine the 10-11 option had the optional button microphone. My kit came with both the boom and the button microphones. I found the button option was much easier to use in my helmet and gave me more room to get my drink hose up in there rather than bumping to the larger boom mic.

I think they have the same model # with a boom mic. You'll need a boom mic with an open face helmet. Otherwise, yes it should work fine.

Hello. First of all the camera cannot do 24p, it has an effect that makes it sorta look like film but it still records at 30fps. The onboard audio is about as good as onboard goes, but there is no audio hookups for external gear such as a real boom mic. I've purchased both the sony mini boom mic and the stereo mic that can work on the camera, they work alright - but aren't anywhere near audiophile quality.You may want to checkout the Sony ECMHW1 Bluetooth Wireless Microphone if you decide to get this camera..

I use sennheiser ME66 in it. Most short shotgun microphones will work with this blimp.

You would probably go with the boom microphone option versus the wired. It supports both.

Just buy a mic with 3.5mm or 1/4" plug. That's easier than messing with xlr to stereo.

Look into the Focusrite Scarlett series. The pre-amps are great, and it puts out up to 24 bits/96 kHz. If you're going to be recording at home, make sure to get some basic treatment for better monitoring. Good luck:)

Any will really do, as long as the plug fits. It is not shown in the picture but it has the ability to accept a 1/4in jack. I use a Sony Shotgun mic when I am recording video, when I'm recording just a person talking I use a condenser mic, and when I am recording a guitar and a person singing I use the condenser mic along with the on board mics.

That would depend on your situation. I would suggest a combination of a lav and a shotgun. If you have both and record to separate channels, you're covered. Sometimes lav mics pick up body noise/shirt rubbing etc...a shotgun mic will get the best results generally... This is a great little machine. Great options and quality for the price-point.

The end of the boom has a 1/4" camera mount. If the microphone has the 1/4" connection, then it will, otherwise an adapter will be needed.
