However, it seems that JVC found it was too easy to open their older camcorders. The recent hybrid Hard Drive / micro SD series GZ-HD500, 520, 620, are not anymore easy to open unless one breaks something. The bottom panel next to the microSD slot is no longer easy to open. I would not like to break mine (HD500BUS) but it has been a hassle to record with an external recorder. I have used so far  a Sony ICD-UX71 recorder with a stereo Azaden SMX-10 boom mike or a ECM-CS10 stereo lavalier (when I attached the mike to the subject in an interview) and then edit the sound (sync is done using a key sound signal or a clapper board), which is like going back to the 8mm ages. If someone has been able to open the new Everios without damaging, it will be helpful for many.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ext-mic-for-everio#post-65351 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:04:33 +0000 vid-e-o-man 65351@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've seen some tutorials on adding mic jacks for other camcorders (google search). I don't recall exactly where off hand but they were done on some tight spaces. You coulod try some of the DIY forms. The tutorials decribed the wiring changes necessary. Some level of handyman skill is essential. If that is not an option, some other poster with this unit might be able to help with the A/V jack info or you could try JVC's support. Another direction that you might go to use an external audio recorder with a mic and join the audio and video in your NLE, although you were probably trying to avoid this.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ext-mic-for-everio#post-65336 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 08:27:55 +0000 jimeditorial 65336@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I'd like to experiment with an ext mic for my GZ-MS100U...I understand that it may be possible to drive an audio in signal through the A/V jack.....anyone try this? I think the built-in is a condenser mic, so would a small preamp be needed with an external? I tried opening the unit up to add a jack but there's just no room in this tightly packed cam...</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ext-mike-adapter-for-shoe-mount#post-47735 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:15:39 +0000 cfulton 47735@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've never run into an adapter that will allow you to connect a standard 1/8" or XLR mic to any Sony camcorder with a proprietary shoe. 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://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ext-mike-adapter-for-shoe-mount#post-47449 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 07:07:32 +0000 mkoplin 47449@http://www.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>
