Probably added to the camera's resale value too :-)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adding-mic-input-to-jvc-everio-camcorder#post-48810 Mon, 06 Jul 2009 19:31:39 +0000 XTR-91 48810@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>After picking up a lot of video skills in the past seven months, I realized how important it is to get a good, solid recording of location sound. 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>
