Hi Steve and Adam - I setup the azden sgm2x mic with the kodak zi8, and I am getting a lot of hum.

Any way to fix it? Thanks!

@GaryChanShow Go to the Kodak support site and make sure you have the latest firmware. There was a hum problem in the initial shipments.

This was a very helpful video, now I know exactly which mic to get for my zi8 and how it will sound. Thanks for this.

is it posible that if instead of a mic you conect and ipod it will record the song playing while recording?

I just got the Kodak Zi8 TODAY (May, 26, 2011) - Check out the video I just made of me opening the box! LOL) I got it because of the mic input. Thanks for this great video about the mics.

first one is mono right? so with the mono to stereo will it still sound like that ?

Notice how the whirring noise which the onboard mic picks up stops, right after they connect an external mic, probably some mechanism in the camera making that noise which then fortunately is no longer picked up using an external mic...

I own a T2i and the video quality is beyond amazing for the price, but I love using these pocket cameras when I want to shoot casual stuff and have something that can fit in my pocket.

I recently busted out a 5 yr old SD Sony Camcorder and I couldn't believe how God awful the picture quality was and I'm not just talking in terms of pure resolution, but overall picture quality. It's crazy how much better the little Zi8 looks compared to that old Sony even if we just do a comparison at 480p.

That was an amazingly informative tech review. I preferred the directional mic. How can I make the camera's mic input support 2 or more mics at a time?

I plug in my lapel mic (Audio Technica ATR-3350) and only get audio in one channel, am I doing something wrong?

Hi Steve I plugged in a Sennheiser e945 mic , plugged in the 1/4 cable end to an adapter into the camera but didn't get any sound when I recorded. What did I do wrong?
