I'm afraid the best way to use an external mic would be to use an external recorder and then sychronize the sound from that recorder to the image on the tape.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ext-mike-adapter-for-shoe-mount#post-47449 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:07:32 +0000 mkoplin 47449@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I bought a used sony handycam dcr hc 96 and really need external mike audio.  I do mostly family video/documentary filming.</p> <p>this camera has a shoe mount, where you can mount a microphone.  can someone recommend a good mike? ALSO, I really would like a lavalier.  </p> <p>is there an adapter for the shoe mount which will receive the lavalier input?  I guess that is 1/8" or maybe XLR?</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
