Haggis!! 0 Posted July 19, 2017 I have used somthing similar to this in the past from a local UK supplier. https://dvrunlimited.com/passive-microphone-3-5m-range-3-5mm-jack-metal-case.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roman.CA 0 Posted July 20, 2017 So i assume any "passive" microphone as one in my phone headset should work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roman.CA 0 Posted July 22, 2017 Tried to use microphone from my vice recorder nothing, but i been able to tune to some FM or AM radio channel that played trough the camera if i hold the end with my fingers. How you think that happened? Another thing there supposed to be LineIn and MicIn selection available according to videos i've seen but i only have LineIn option.

Roman.CA 0 Posted July 25, 2017 Actually LineIn option worked with powered microphone, but not with powerless microphone. Someone can explain the difference between this options LineIn and MicIn, manual is not clear for this. Also found this thread viewtopic.php?f=19&t=43452 ordered mic but it clearly states MicIn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
