Welcome to Studentfilms.com, the online film discussion forum for filmmakers and students who are applying to film school, attending film school, need advice on making films, or just want to share their films with the world.
So recently I upgraded to a consumer based HD camera, (Canon Vixia HFS100) and it has a phono style mini jack mic input however I want to use my XLR shotguns with the camera.
I know there are products that convert and add a preamp such as the BeachTek units but are they worth the price?
How do things such as a simple adapter cable work instead?
I'm mostly using an Azden SGM-1X shotgun mic but also have been planning to buy a Shure wired lapel.
