I am looking for an XLR adaptor for my Canon HV30 HD camera. Im trying to get pro audio XLR mics on my HV30. Ive read up on the beachtek adaptors and a lot of people say there is a slight hum in the background of the audio. So if anyone has anything besides the beachtek that is better, that would be great..otherwise i really just need any type of adaptor at the moment. Let me know if any of you have anything for sale. Thanks!

There is always going to be a slight hum because the 1/8 in are unbalanced. The beachtek stuff is pretty nice.
 
I've actually been looking into these XLR camcorder adapters. Here's a summary of what I've found:

www.beachtek.com - Mounts to camera. Various passive adapters. Some with phantom and audio meter. New unit with preamp (DXA6HD).

www.juicedlink.com - Mounts to camera. All include preamplifier. Options include phantom, 2-4 XLR inputs, audio meter.

www.studio1productions.com - Doesn't mount to camera, and no phantom or preamp option. Option for 3 XLR input. Plastic case.

www.signvideo.com - Mounts to camera. No phantom or preamp option. 1 and 2 XLR input options.


The juicedLink website has an interesting demo video, showing how a preamp can reduce camcorder hiss while recording fine audio detail:

yeah ive actually been looking at the juicedlink quite a bit. im thinking about going with them, they seem to provide better results than the other companies.
 
I have a wired device I used to use for getting two pro XLR mics into a consumer camera, 1/8" stereo plug. If you are interested in it private message me and I'll send you a photo.
