How can I attach an external microphone to Sony Handycam HDRSR10E?
peep_babe asked:
We’ve recently purchased a Sony Handycam HDRSR10E which is very impressive but it doesn’t seem to have a socket for an external microphone and there’s no mention if it in the instructions. It seems crazy that it trades on its high quality but the sound is bad because of the rubbish internal mic. Any ideas?
I have now discovered that shotgun mic and wireless ‘bluetooth’-type mics can be attached to the hotshoe on the top of the camera. You can also attach a light to this hotshoe but not, I guess, at the same time as a mic!
