Does anyone know if I can just plug a wireless lav mic like this, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/258079-REG/Tram_TR50BSET_TR50_Omnidirectional_Lavalier.html into the mini-jack on the C300 for reference audio? I don't have the camera to test, but have a job coming up. I don't know if there's power coming from the jack to the mic, or even if its needed for a lav to work in this scenario.
Hi Bryan, the mini-jack on the the C300 is cold. So you need a self powered mic. I use a sennheiser which is small and lightweight. I have to check the name of the mic tomorrow in the office. It's no a regular rental item, but it's around 150 bucks and produces excellent sound. Hope that helps - best Markus
