Can I somehow hook a mic up to my Sony Handycam HDR-CX100?

-I can't find a microphone jack on this camera. There are two outlets, a DC in and an A/V out. Is there any way I Could use those? I have a boom mic and i need some way to hook it up to this camera. Could I buy an adaptor? I like to make short films, and this is the first time with me using a boom mic. Please tell me there is some way to hook it up.If your camcorder does not have a Mic Jack, you cannot hook a Microphone to it.



You will need to use an external recorder to capture the audio from your boom mic and mix it in post on NLE.



To give you an Idea on what to use, visit my site. On it you will find A Boss digital recorder. This model can record audio for 9 hours straight, on multiple tracks and play the tracks back all at the same time. Great for a Musician. But maybe you do not need that type of recorder. There are many Digital Audio Recorders on the market, just go find one that will work for you.



A mixer might be an option for you as well, this allows multiple microphones and many other sound sources to be hooked up to it, very useful indeed.

Here is a useful tip. If you go this route, always remember to do a clapper board move in front of the camera near the Microphone. Doing a clap in this instance will work.



Another tip. Your local Music store, the one that sells Drum Kits, Guitars and many other Musical instruments might have a rental plan on all I talked about above, microphones mixers and much more, go talk to them.
