You can mount this camera to a tripod, but there is no place to hook up a microphone.

Just bought this product. Yes. You can mount this on a regular tripod for camera and camcorder.

NO, the stand doesn't have microphone mount. Plus, this stand is really light weight. It not good for microphone stand either.

Yes it can... Just remember this will the point out at a 90 degree angle... not sure it would be very usable. If that is what you want to do then just mount the microphone directly to the stand. Then the microphone is straight up in the air.

Surprised at all the "no" replies. It does have a mount area for a tripod or something.

I doesn't come with hardware to mount to a shoe, and it's not what it's designed for. You can, but I would not recommend it. Way too heavy and bulky to be a practical "on camera" mic. For on-camera I'd highly recommend the Rode VideoMic Pro Compact VMP Shotgun Microphone. A little pricey, but compact, light and good sound --

Yes, there is a mount on the bottom that fits a standard tripod. Works really well.

It does indeed have the ability to mount to a tripod (by screw on the bottom) although since it is a very narrow spot it may be more wobbly than others (if not screwed down tightly)

It mounts on a standard mic stand very easily. That's about the only good feature. Put your money on another brand--- I got two if these pieces of mechanical junk in a row that both fried out mid-gig.

It does mount to a tripod, it fits the universal photography thread size for tripods. Just FYI you can use a ladder with books too as it self levels

yes, it does have a mounting bracket,microphone and hardware to mount bracket for the microphone. It needs a cig. plug liter on the power cord. Glynn

Yes it has a tripod mount. Sound is terrible. Plain and simple if you are not narrating your own video and trying to record sound coming from the subject you are filming - dont bother. But video is beautiful. If you dont have a mac, working with the mov files is a real pain. There are work arounds but they are complicated. And to convert file formats could take hours if you dont have a fast computer. Let alone having it come out clean and usable.

You are supposed to be able to hook up a microphone but we have not purchased one yet. You can hook up speakers and we have done that.

Yes you can still mount to a tripod. In fact you have a choice of three receptacles to mount your tripod. The receptacles are on the bottom of the mounting plate that attaches to the camera. This has been an excellent product for me since I shoot out in Hawaii.

To be honest, if you're mounting the camera on a tripod, you might be better off using a boom stand. I bought a small mic stand at a local music store and use it to boom in my Azden mic for projects that require a small microphone. If you really want to mount the mic right on the camera, you may be able to do so if you get a stabilizing bracket with a handle (I know many people who use them to mount their flash, so I'm sure you could use it to mount a microphone)

It's rather heavy.. I use a straight stand with a tripod base.. Any will do..Note: the mic mounting hardware is quite versatile.. You should have no problem with any mic with a standard thread mic clip.

Yes it does have a tripod mount at the bottom. For the price it isn't bad. It's not as fast if you are using the vertical release,but I love the amount of length and battery life it adds to my camera.
