Wireless Mike?

Question

I have a Canon ZR 100 Camcorder, and would like to adapt a wireless mike to it, but this model does not have an input jack? is there a tricky way to do this?

Answer 1

No. Well I guess you could hook up the mic to a speaker or something and then record that sound, but depending on your location and onboard mic, it will probably suck. You could try adding the sound in post, although if this is an event video and you dont have a separate audio recorder this obviously wont work. Otherwise, just get a separate audio recorder and a clapper, or have your actors record their voices in post. If its far away enough, you wont even see their mouths so you dont have to worry about synching :-) Hope this helps!
