How to Buy an External Microphone for a Camcorder:
While camcorders are equipped with a built-in microphone to allow for sound and image to be perfectly synchronized, the built-in microphone is usually surround sensitive, so it tends to pick up surrounding sounds. In most cases there is a microphone socket on your camcorder for an additional external microphone, which can be used to avoid unwanted disturbances. These items are easy to use and will greatly improve the sound quality of your video recordings. Here's how to buy an external microphone for a camcorder.- Ensure that your camcorder is equipped with an external microphone socket. It should be a normal 1/8th" plug.
- Research the different types of external microphones to determine the one that is right for your sound-capturing needs. There are omnidirectional microphones which pick up sounds from all directions, unidirectional microphones which capture audio from one person at a time, or shotgun microphones which pinpoint the isolation of sound.
- Determine if you need a lavalier or handheld microphone. A lavalier microphone is a small microphone that can be clipped to a necktie or blouse to remain discreet. A handheld microphone is good to use when reporting or when the camera is focused on one person.
- Consider if you will need a hard-wired or wireless microphone based on your budget and recording needs.
- Look for noise-reduction features. Some high-end microphones will filter out background and wind noise.
- Determine if you want an omni-directional or uni-directional microphone. The omni-directional will record sounds that surround the microphone, while uni-directional will only record the sounds from the direction which it is pointed.
Tips & Warnings:
- Hard-wired systems have limitations based on the length of the cord and you may pick up feedback if you are running the wiring parallel to other electrical wiring.
- Wireless systems have a never-ending demand for fresh batteries.
- If the jack on your camcorder is damaged from use you will need to take it in to a dealer to get the jack repaired. This is a lot less expensive then purchasing a new apparatus.
- Consider getting a shock mount for your external microphone. This will "float" your microphone so that internal camera noises and vibrations don't work their way up to your microphone.

07-21-2011- Other Thoughts: If you're looking for an audio source outside of your camera's onboard mic and want to get sort of an all-in-one, this is a great option. The suspension really avoided the handling noise associated with smaller cameras, and is easily out of the way with its 2 second mounting system. The pick up pattern, however, is a little loose. If you're planning on using it for interviews, I would suggest finding a REALLY quiet place.

07-05-2011- Other Thoughts: This is was a terrific buy! I bought a different one that was cheaper before I bought this one and the other one was... estinky! I thought it was just my camera's cheap plug in but to my great surprise, this mic proved me very wrong. Love it, built well and it's not too heavy... just remember to turn it on before filming or your clip will be mute! <br/> <br/>Love love it... of course I knew it would be fantastic before I bought it having used one that my friend owned.
