kodak zi8 720p with external mic sony ecm-ds30p recording tv playing cod4

here is a clip of the kodak zi8 recording the opening scene from cod4. i have the camera mounted on a tripod. the lights were off in the room and used both the internal mic and sony ecm-ds30p mic. one thing i noticed is a hissing sound when using the external mic. not sure what it could be. i have the wind shield foam thing covering the mic so i dont believe it is the ac or ceiling fan. overall video quality is good enough for me to post vids of myself kicking ass on cod mw2.

Where did you get your Externak Mic from I need one for my Zi8 but not sure which to get any help would be good =) ?

is there a way to record gameplay with the Kodak Zi8 without having to video tape in front of the tv? Can't you setup the HDMI or AV(out) plugs so that it records the screen?

Excellent mic. it is actually real good. i own one and the quality of sound is superior than the ones of my zoom h2. Little impresive thing.

Did you get rid of the hissing sound? I've got the same problem on my Zi8.

You need to split your audio as its only coming out the left speaker.
