    Production Questions//mini Mic for SONY HDR FX7

    Posted by Jason Harvey on April 10, 2007 at 12:11 am

    Hello –

    I am shooting on a SONY HDR FX7 -great HDV camera EXCEPT for no XLR input. ONLY Mini!
    I dont know much about mics…Can someone point me in in the right direction? Mostly looking for a handheld (for hosting & on the fly interviews) – possibly a lav too.

    Thanks for any help!

    I would use an XLR adapter and then you have all the mic choices in the world .

    We have a Sony VX 2100 and use a Beachtek DXA-4 with it. Works great.

    Sennheiser ew100ENGG2 wireless set-up.

    You get the best of both worlds. Comes with mini and XLR cables. Has nice mount for hot shoe. Also comes with butt plug to make your stick into a wireless. And of course comes with a LAV.
