Re: [Paddlewise] Microphone for handycam

As long as your camera has an input for an external mike, you have a  
lot of options. Wireless gear can get expensive in a hurry. You might  
want to try a wired shotgun mike. Some models can be mounted on the  
camera (depends on the camera).

Here's the perfect place to pose your question:

You might just want to search their message board to read about  
microphone recommendations (both wired & wireless). You'll get a lot  
of pricey recommendations there, but here are enough non- 
professionals on that board to offer more reasonable options.

It's a great resource for anyone shooting video.
