We are using a right-angle stereo-to-stereo cable to plug the camera mount receiver into the Camera. However, when we plug our headphones into the AV output on the camera, we can only hear the audio in one ear. The AV output settings are changed to headphones, and we checked the audio output channels on the camera to make sure L/R is selected. We also hear the audio out of only one of the speakers when playing back the video on our media player. The Sennheiser unit also comes with a Stereo-to-XLR cable, which we could then try a beachtek adapter to plug the Sennheiser into the adapter, then connect the adapter to the camera, just to see what happens. But would this solve the problem, and even if it does, do we need to add anohter device into the chain? Wouldn't we be able to use the sennheiser as-is, record on one track and split the audio in post using our NLE? What are the pro's and cons? Just trying to learn from the experience of others who have done this before, before we do our own trial-and-error.

While I am very happy with both products, I found that I could not change the battery while the camcorder was on the tripod - the slide plate on the tripod head is too long. I have to take the camcorder off, and remove the slide plate before I can replace the battery.<br />Does anyone have a solution? Is there a shorter slideplate or a spacer of some kind?</p> <p>Thanks<br />Heidi</p>
