best camcorder external microphone image
Andrea Jos
I'm doing a vlog and I was told that I needed the sound to be louder. By doing so I needed an external microphone. I didn't see any jack for an external microphone, but there is a mini usb and mini hdmi jack. Can I get a microphone for that or is there a better way?
Answer
Your X150 does not have a mic jack. USB is for transferring video and stills out of the camera and is not connected to the recording area of the camera; The HDMI connection sends audio and video out of the camera to a monitor or recording device only. No inbound audio or video.
You can record the audio separately with a mic connected to your computer or with an external audio recording device. When you edit, sync the externally recorded audio with the audio captured by the camcorder then mute the camcorder's audio.
Or... use the video editor to increase the audio it recorded. Maybe that will be good enough.

Is There a Way to Have External Audio go With a Video Camera with No Mic Input Jack on it?

I need external microphone usage but there are really good and fairly inexpensive camcorders which don't have it. Any remedies?
Would a USB-audio adapter work?

I am not aware of an "really good camcorder" without a mic jack. Perhaps our definitions are different... In my book, if it is a "really good camcorder", then it will have a mic jack AND manual audio control. The Canon FS series all have mic jacks - as does the Canon ZR900, ZR930 and ZR960. None have manual audio control. The Canon HV30/HV40 and Sony HDR-HC9 have a mic jack and manual audio control.
If you like the video quality of a particular camcorder and it has no mic jack, then you can capture the audio using an audio "field recorder" like those from Edirol, M-Audio, Zoom and many others... just import the audio when you import the video for editing - sync the audio and mute the audio that came in with the camcorder.
