Hi - I'm completely new to forums of any sort(!)
My query is regarding a Panasonic HMC 150 I've just bought and a Rode Stereo VideoMic which I own.
The Rode has a stereo mini jack audio lead, the HMC 150 has no mini jack socket.
I want to be able to use the microphone about 15 feet away from the camera. Obviously a 15ft XLR cable (or two?) is needed - but how do I connect to the stereo mini jack AND get stereo performance from the microphone? I have found out that Rode do a connector - but apparently coupling into either of the XLR camera inputs only produces a mono result. One further point - the Rode has it's own battery.
Any help much appreciated...........
