Does anyone know a handheld microphone for Sony HDR-XR160 Camcorder?

Cherry Stampka: The good news is that your XR160 has a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo audio input.There is no single best mic... We don't know what you plan to use it for.If you mean a "handheld mic" like a cardioid or dynamic mic, then something like the Audio Technica ATR1300 is fine.Or you can opt for a stereo mic like the Audio Technica ATR6250. This can double as a "handheld mic" assuming you are speaking into it - not singing.In either case, if the audio gets loud, be sure to use the "MicRefLevel" setting to attenuate the loud audio.Good mics usually use XLR connectors - not the 1/8" connectors. In order to use the good XLR mics, you need an XLR adapter like those from juicedLink or BeachTek and they don't fit in your budget. If an XLR adapter does fit in your budget, a Shure SM58 is great....Show more
