Hello again!
I recently received great advice from this forum on a wireless mic. 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.
Thank you.

Not sure what would be best here. Maybe look at some type of epoxy to connect a cold shoe to the top of the camcorder?
