Extra mic for camcorder without mic jack?

Is there any way to connect an external mic to my camcorder that does not have a mic jack?

  • Please Notify me if you have any idea on how to do this. Or if you know how to imrove sound quality. I have an Insignia NS-DV111080F It has horrible sound...Than You!

  • Answer:

    Sparky is correct say no way this can be done. Now if you asked how to improve the audio of my camcorder with no mic jack, you would have gotten this answer,- Yes you can. Get yourself a Digital Audio Recorder (DAR) , a a $29.99 Apex 750 microphone and a cable to hook the two (or any microphone you choose and cable) and mix in post using your NLE. Very easy to do, I have done this many times shooting weddings, getting the vows rercorded on my Boss unit as we used 3 camcorders to shoot an event. When using a device to capture audio that is not your camcorder, use this tip to be able to SYNC your audio and video together once both are put on a timeline for video editing purposes. Standing close to Microphone, in front of your camcorder, with both recording devices recording the video and audio, CLAP, LOUDLY. Now so long as all the the recorders stay recording, you have a sync point so when you get back to the computer, it is much easier to sync the audio and video together.
