How do I run 2 mics into the Canon Vixia HF R800? Has anyone tried this and succeeded? Please tell me how you did it.

Thanks, Rodger. I’ll get a 3.5mm stereo y cord (male with two female jacks) at Best Buy or Walmart.

Can you send me an Amazon.com link to the type of splitter that would work for me?

Great info, Rodger. So, if the y cord works, I won’t need a mixer? I suppose my 2 USB mics won’t work in the y cord scenario, right?

Thanks, Rodger. Can you suggest an ideal lower cost alternative for mixer and mics? Does the sound from the two mics run through the mixer and into a single audio track?
