what microphone is for the gh1

From what I've read the JuicedLink CX211 and JuicedLink CX231 need the JL-DN101 DSLR Accessory for CX Preamps. It is not a standalone product, and requires a CX preamp for operation. this is what kills the GH1 auto gain. so if you do end up buying a JuicedLink CX211 or JuicedLink CX231 your going to pay that plus a $139.00 for the JL-DN101. unless you buy the JL-DT454 for $419.00... Im torn because I know the zoom works but I would really like to have the audio and video together instead of matching up separate audio. Has anyone found anything that works good with the GH1 yet that keeps audio in camera?

I dont understand how the juicedlink defeats the AGC of the GH1. I am trying to decide between a Beachtek DXA 5D and the Juicelink . The consensus seems to be that the juicedlink generally is the better performer as it has internal low noise pre-amps. But it doesnt have the 20k tone insertion which the beachtek has and claims to throttle back the AGC - so I am a tad confused. Any help in deciding much appreciated:undecided

If anyone's thinking of the lowest possible cost dual-system sound upgrade for the GH1, maybe the Zoom H1 could be worth a look.

There's some YouTube reviews eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFqIp095GD4&feature=related which has all-H1 sound. However, YouTube sound itself is I think a bit mangled, so I think you have to be careful not to attribute any shortcomings to the H1 itself (unless proven!).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8F5J7T6e1Y&feature=related starts with camcorder sound then switches to H1 sound - quite a difference!

Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrYX1r9gfGY&feature=related has lav mic audio using the H1 - sounds reasonable to me in noise terms.
 
If you want easy solution you go buy seenhauser me66 k6. It have own phantum power and you going to have notorious sound! Not bad! Don't buy a zoom h4n, it chinese junks. You get tascom dr100 better. Long life battery and black color.
 
I have a GH1 and a Panasonic VW VMS1E microphone: this one uses a 5-pin to get power supply from the camcorder. Is there any way to employ this one with the GH1 or should I buy another microphone?
