Canon Vixia HF R800: Lots of External Microphone Options!
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2022-03-09

A lot of Canon Vixia HF R800 users report difficulties finding external microphones that will work with the camcorder's 3.5mm (1/8") mic input jack.

There are lots of options, however! To the best of my knowledge, any microphone that is self-powering (which needs neither PIP nor phantom power) will work.

You can also branch out into XLR microphones and 3.5mm microphones that don't contain power-delivery systems through using devices such as the Saramonic Smart Rig and active microphone mixers.

Finally, passive camera/camcorder mixers can be used to mix multiple microphones into one stream and the mono/stereo switches allow users to mix different microphones separately in postproduction!
