I need a lav mic to take with me to India. Does this operate from a battery, or do I need to have something plugged into a wall outlet?

Bluetooth mic, batteries only. Bring a lot of batteries as mic only lasts about 2 hours.

This operates from a battery, a 9 volt battery: Energizer(R) 9-Volt Alkaline Industrial Batteries, Box Of 12

no you don't have to.just buy an extra battery and keep it charged with you.it is bulky and heavy if you are not shooting professional long video and sessions.keep your money in your pocket.

It has to be plugged in either to the wall or to your computer. There is no battery that can be charged to use it unplugged.

The unit plugs into a regular wall socket.It takes a 9 volt battery for portable use.

The mic has a male XLR connector (mic level output). It does not need a battery or phantom power. You will need an adapter to go from XLR to 1/8" mini, but it should work fine.

All mics need power to operate. Some, such ans this one, get it with a battery in the mic and some use what's called a phantom power supply. This is just like most other mics that have self contained power. You should just be able to plug it in and use it. Anyway it's worth a shot. You can't really hurt the mic itself. The gain your asking about is usually provided by the software that you use to record the sound with. I use this mic primarily on my camera in place of the electret mic that it comes with, and I've never had to "Boost" the sound. Hope this helps.

It doesn't require batteries. It must be plugged into an electrical outlet.

You can get a wall charger for USB ports. My recorder also uses plain batteries.

Yes, it does need plugging into the wall. We are using one in Turkey where the voltage is just short of the English 240 volts and we have had no problem with it. I have not been able to find a battery type.

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

is there a mic port and a way to plug it into the wall for 2+ hour recordings

The base unit plugs into the electrical outlet. It does not require batteries. The two hand-held microphones require batteries but they are included.

More than likely, yes you will need some type of voltage/wattage converter. However I'm not sure what India uses in terms of power whether it's 110 or 220, may want to Google that if you're unsure. Two quick thoughts though, I'd personally suggest not to buy this particular unit. Went through two of them and they both crapped out on me after a day. Second go to an electronics store like radio shack or maybe amazon has them as well. But you'll probably want to find an adapter that can plug into the type of plug used in India. If you don't understand the difference between an adapter and converter think of it this way. An adapter is like using a micro SD card, but your camera takes a full size SD card, so you get an adapter to make it full sized. The converter regulates the power coming out of the wall, which is what this product on this page will do. Sorry if that was redundant, but sometimes people need it spelled out. Enjoy your trip though!

It needs 12 volts DC from a mains adapter (wall-wort). A battery would be quickly exhausted. The power supply could be close to the camera even it the monitor or DVR isn't. BTW: It's an excellent camera with impressive low light sensitivity.

It takes batteries or plugs into wall. You can operate it either way. I like mine.

It must be plugged in with the included power supply (wall-wart) -- it cannot receive power over ethernet like some cameras, and there is no internal battery option.
