Best Cheap Vlogging Camera With Mic Input

Hosa always comes out with the clever products! If you are like me and have a cheap, effective video camera with an 1/8 mic input that only uses line level signal, this is the cable for you. No longer will you need to buy microphones with transformers built in! With this cable you can use your standard SM58 to get great audio in loud areas...

Great for a prosumer camera to mixer using the mic input on the camera. Great quality.

Best and cheap!

Works for vlogging really well. Good mic to start out with

This is a great microphone for vlogging, especially on a smaller, mirrorless camera. I use this mic with my Sony a6400. I use a smallrig cage setup, so it doesn’t block the flip up screen. I really like this mic for vlogging because you don’t have to worry about turning it off and on, or dying because it doesn’t take a battery. Small & compact, but very effective. B&H got my order to me within 24 hours too. All in all, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and can’t wait to make more purchases through B&H

Was looking for a vlogging camera that can be taken on the road and had a fold-out screen. After about several weeks of research, I settled on this kit - camera, mic, gimbal, and vlogging kit. This has been a great upgrade from the GoPro Hero 7. The camera, mic, and grip are not too heavy to carry and film for extended hours. The fully articulating screen is nice and I like the fact that it folds out allowing you to still use the hot shoe (cameras with a flip-up screen block the hot shoe limiting your use of an external mic, or anything else you would want to attach to the hot shoe). One recommendation - get the zv1 handle grip r055 (Amazon) for this camera if you will be using it on the Bluetooth grip. The tripod screw hole is very close to the battery cover door. When the camera is on the Bluetooth grip, the battery and memory card are inaccessible because the grip covers the battery cover door. With the additional handle grip you will be able to get to the battery and memory card without removing the camera from the Bluetooth grip. The handle grip does add a little extra weight, but not too much where it becomes too noticeably heavy. Aside from this minor design issue, the camera, with this vlogging kit, is a must for any vlogger on the go!

Sounds great and would work perfect for vlogging. However, when talking from behind the camera it does not pick up very well. This is a great mic for anyone who wants to record just the audio right in front. The sound is nice and crisp especially with the high pass filter and gain settings.

When you want to make the right connection between the mic and the audio input to your camera or audio mixer, this is something you want to be able to pull out of your bag.

I use this to connect the shotgun mic to the XLR input on the back of the camera. I could have gotten a shorter one, but this one works great.

I use this to go from an Azden wireless mic to the balanced input on my Sony X70 video camera.
