My Canon HFR500 camera does not allow me to attach a shot gun mic. Is there a way to attach a shotgun mic to this mount?

There is not any way to attach the mic to your camera in this rig. I would recommend a hot shoe mount and a arm to hold it close to your camera.

Mine broke off as well. The part that attaches to the camera shoe, it uses a very small screw and it came off the threads. Wonder if there's other ways to mount this mic.

Yes it does you would have to unplug the shotgun mic and plug into the where the shotgun mic was plug in.. it is a 1/8" connection. the connection is the same size like a headphone connection.. There are adapters that you can purchase to make that happen.

Hey, I would suggest you look for a hawk mount, just to be sure. I wouldn't risk the mount pins not fitting your reciever, or worse potentially damaging your shotgun receivers finish.

Sure. Your camera is equipped with a standard size flash mount which this mike fits. There's also a tighten down wheel on the mount so the mike will be stable regardless of your camera's position during shooting. I get excellent quality audio with mine. Be sure though to do testing with your mike before actually shooting with it. I've found the mike works best, at least on my Canon, in the auto level setting. That means, and you probably know this, you don't have to adjust the audio levels because the camera does this. Also my camera doesn'tseek a level so it gives me excellent results. Good luck Sure.

Buy the FL-2 mount from Heli... $28 on their site. I have used one for years. As with their mics it is well constructed. They have other solutions as well...http://www.heilsound.com/amateur/products/booms-and-hardwars/hardware

You didn't mention the type of shotgun you installed this item on. Nevertheless, using a flat head screw or shaving the screw down should work. Go to your local Home Depot store and pick up a few same size screws. The mount is a real nice attachment. I was able to mount a red dot scope, and now hit targets dead on with slugs. Good luck

You have to find the connector with the correct angle it is a screw mount and you can usually get a grab bag of different connector mounts for cheap. There is a plate on the chest harness that attaches to the plate on the camera you have mounted with the screw. The plates snap in place.

It has a speaker to check audio and an internal mic which is right next to the fan so you must have an external mic. The audio inputs are 1/4 inch so you will need adapters from XLR and 1.8" plugs. A tripod head strong enough for 5+ lbs. One or two SSD cards with spacers for 9mm. You need to be selective with SSD's for shooting RAW. You must read about the ETTR exposure strategy. You WILL need an external handle. Canon and Canon compatible lenses are a real plus since autofocus works on most of them. And Patience!!

You can connect it using the instructions here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16M8_vzwAVrhhu8uGgZcbKfx4moTB-EBN-nuHmyhljU8/edit However, without modifying your camera as described, the microphone can not be connected to it as it has no external 3.5mm input.

I guess my first question is, why do you want to attach an audio recorder to your camcorder? I would place it next to what you want to record and then use editing software to add the extra track, although I found the very slight difference in recording speed caused me to have to realign during pauses. I primarily used the H4 to record the string quartet or orchestra, up close to minimize crowd noise. Used a wireless to send it to my camcorder onto the left channel and a wirelss to house sound/or shotgun to the right channel. I have the HF G10 and G30, both have the mini and I have used the adapter on my G10 (the G30 comes with both a standard shoe and the mini) and it was OK for a shotgun I tried on it. I also had the Zoom H4 (not the N). I would say yes, because the plastic part fits onto the metal part of the camcorder mini and the top full size shoe is metal and it is a tight, secure fit. On a tripod you should be fine. With the weight of the H4 I wouldn't expect it to handle rough use, "Run and Gun" probably not a good idea. Handheld with casual moving around, should be OK. Hope that helps

You probably could with an adapter, but you would not be happy with the sound. I've tried direct audio into the canon cameras and it has been terrible. I run it into a zoom h4n with great results.

Depends on the size not the manufacturer. The Rode Blimp fits pretty much everything however. The other consideration would be the diameter of the mic. It comes with a grab bag of mounts but again, depends on the shotgun you have. Contact Rode for most accurate info.

Well it's a great mount and the 2500 is a great mic, but depending on how you want to mount it, you may need an adapter for the mounting.

The Rode dead kitten fits on a Shure SM57 but the elastic band is just a little loose which means the kitten could slide forwards and backwards in a strong wind and create noise while recording. This can easily be fixed by adding a tight rubber band around the elastic band to tighten things up. I'm not exactly sure about the circumference of your shotgun mic but hopefully this comparison to my Shure SM57 will help. Good luck.

The swivel mount has a screw on connection that fits a shock mount. I do not see a place to mount a mic without some way to attach it. Rode.com could give you a more detailed answer about how to handle that. Frankly, you probably should be using a shock mount to get the best sound....worst case there's always duct tape...:) just kidding. kk voicebender.com

Hi Richard, It should work with your canon, as you have a 3.5mm mic jack. Don't know if you have a place to mount since you don't have a hot shoe, but you may be able to work with velcro or mounted on a small stand or tripod. I have found this mic to be a great asset. With the +10db boost, it picks up more audio then my camera's mic alone, and much better quality.
