hiya, thanks for your reply again.

the link i posted has a misleading picture, it is actually a TRS 3.5mm jack on the end, not the TS they show in their picture. they have a picture of a mono advertising a stereo cable …..

the one i have is the same as your second suggestion.

thanks for your replies.

i am powering it with an AA battery, tried a different battery just in case, but like i say, it worked fine plugged into 3.5 jack on camcorder.

and if it were a cable that did not allow a mono input, again, surely it wouldnt be working on my camcorder ?

i just did another test, right this minute with the camcorder through a 3.5 jack, and it works fine, can pick my voice up no problem from across the room.

its annoying because i bought the ntg2 for 3.5mm usage, in case of emergency, purely because it can be powered from a battery like this.
