Now I'm researching, looking for a shotgun-style external mic. My Canon Vixia HF R80 has the 3.5 port but nothing on top of the camera to support a mic; no mount. Is there an inexpensive shotgun mic that can be attached to the camera via a self adhesive strip maybe? Appreciate any help. I'll be recording nature videos in the woods and would like to increase quality audio.</P><P>Thank you.</P> Mon, 27 Feb 2023 18:30:27 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Video-Accessories/Shotgun-Mic-for-Canon-Vixia-HF-R80/m-p/407830#M192 RdnckPreacher1 2023-02-27T18:30:27Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Video-Accessories/Shotgun-Mic-for-Canon-Vixia-HF-R80/m-p/407859#M193 <P>Not sure what would be best here. &nbsp;Maybe look at some type of epoxy to connect a cold shoe to the top of the camcorder?</P> Mon, 27 Feb 2023 21:20:32 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Video-Accessories/Shotgun-Mic-for-Canon-Vixia-HF-R80/m-p/407859#M193 rs-eos 2023-02-27T21:20:32Z
