I have recently uploaded a "blog" to my FTP site titled "Adding Microphone Input to JVC Everio Camcorder" (got advice from <a href="http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adding-a-mic-jack">here</a>). This blog was created specifically for JVC Everio models, but has the same characteristics for any camcorder - you just need a place inside of the camera to house the jack.</p> <p><a href="http://webdesign2.flvs.net/edwardst/proj1/articles/add_mic_everio_blg.html">http://webdesign2.flvs.net/edwardst/proj1/articles/add_mic_everio_blg.html</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/micline-compatibility-on-small-mixer#post-56424 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:00:30 +0000 XTR-91 56424@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've recently been looking at a simple audio mixer to accomodate multiple microphones to my camcorder's audio input. The specs of the Behringer MX-400 show compatibility with 4 line inputs, seeming to indicate that the mixer does not provide a means of amplifying.</p> <p> </p> <p>Will this setup work with microphones plugged in, sending the output to the camcorder to do the amplifying and generate a healthy sound signal? Or does the mixer somehow block the camcorder from amplifying (e.g. preventing a means of sending 'phantom power' to the microphone(s))?</p> <p><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/373759-REG/Behringer_MX400_MX_400_MicroMix_Four.html">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/373759-REG/Behringer_MX400_MX_400_MicroMix_Four.html</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adding-a-mic-jack#post-46655 Mon, 11 May 2009 08:09:13 +0000 XTR-91 46655@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a JVC Everio (GZ-MG155U) hard disk (miniature sized) camcorder that has excellent SD video quality and a bunch of other useful features, only that it has no microphone input. My dad has engineering experience and maybe able to fix this. All we're trying to do tap into the camera's internal microphone wiring and add an RCA jack without dissassembling the entire thing.</p> <p>Does anyone know of any articles on how to do this with my camcorder, or any tips on getting to the onboard microphone without tearing everything apart?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/3ccd-mic-input-038-headphones-for-under-1000#post-38757 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 12:30:00 +0000 ccvid 38757@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Is there still such thing at a 3 ccd camera with a mic input and headphone jack for less than $1000?  The closest I can find is a Panasonic AG-DVC20 for 1124.99 through pricegrabber.com.  I didn't follow through to see if that price is real though.</p> <p> From past forums I see the Panasonic PV-GS180 is a good camera.  Is there a modern version that is similar with 3ccd, Mic Input, and a Headphone Jack?</p> <p> Thanks for the help!</p> <p>Ben</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/audio-input-through-av-port#post-41957 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 14:01:02 +0000 XTR-91 41957@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a JVC MG-155U hard disk camcorder with an A/V port that can switch between input and output. When a cable is connected to A/V while Analog Input is enabled, the camera attempts to get input (audio and video) through the A/V source.</p> <p>What I want to do is get audio input through an external microphone while recording video through the camera. Unfortunately, my camcorder does not have a microphone jack. Are there any cables or special attachments that allow me to receive only audio through A/V?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/is-there-a-difference#post-37668 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:29:38 +0000 ralck 37668@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>So I want to buy a second camera, and I'm interested in the Canon ZR800 or ZR900 as they offer a microphone input (I haven't found other consumer-based cameras that offer this).  I don't have a ton of money, and this camera doesn't need to be all that good as my VX2000 will be used as my main camera still.</p> <p>It seems to me that the ZR900 is simply the '08 model and only really offers a slightly longer zoom, something that doesn't matter all that much to me.  Is the CCD any different?  It's still a 1-CCD 1/6" chip, so my guess is it's going to be virtually identical picture quality (assuming the operator knows how to use the camera).</p> <p>I think I read that the ZR800 is a bottom-loading camera where as the 900 is top loading?  I've never owned a bottom-loading camera; is this a major problem or hassle?</p> <p>There aren't a ton of great reviews online about the ZR900 which further leads me to believe that the two cameras are identical and I might as well save myself 50 bucks and go with the ZR800, but I'm open to have my mind changed. :)</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
