Hi, can you connect a mic to this camera? And can you edit your videos in the camera's menu?

No you can only connect HDMI and USB to it. No mic jack. This device selling point is cheap and night vision. Don't expect anything else

The only thing you need to connect to this camera is the receipt... its crap.. infrared stays blurry..bad focusing..

Yes, there is a input connection for a Mic. If you're Debating on getting this Camcorder or not...GET IT! I Just used it at Times Square to watch the Ball Drop! The Clarity is Amazing and the Zoom is unbelievable! Works outstanding in Low Light conditions

I think that J1 cameras does not have any external mic input, so no microphone will work with it. Anyway, I tested the mic and hasn't a good performance. My advice is that if you have the time and patience to edit and sync the audio and video, you should buy a good quality audio recorder and rec your audios separately.

+++ CORRECTION +++ this camera has both mic/headphone capabilities, it's just that it only has 1 jack, so it's either a mic, or a headphone - NOT BOTH... it does have an 'on board' speaker w adustable volume, so u dont really need t plug in the headphones, but you are 'not able' to monitor the recording, as a result... and so, in the past, i've just recorded a sample, and played it back. p.s. i own 7 of these now, for my biz, and am acquiring more... best 'cheap' hd cam out there, w a dedicated mic input - HIGHLY DESIRABLE!!! i try not to pay more than $120 shipped...

Thanks to your suggestion I plugged a Logitech camera/microphone into one of the usb ports (the one on the left side) and sound tested ok as did camera. That should rule out some parts of the machine (like the sound card I think). Anyone able to do this as well?

It was a long time ago that my unit broke but as I recall you can NOT edit video with it. Do you have a computer? That would be better for editing. I recommend that you look at other options. :-)

Yes you can! I have done this myself. The audio isn't that great from it, but you can definitely use a mic with it.

Yes. It's a USB mic and once you have the audio recorded, you can edit in any audio app.

Actually it is quite simple when you taking video mode can be switch on mic with voice volume control.If didn't switch to video it is won't work.

I can't say for sure because I don't know much about the camera you want to record with. The mic has the standard connection and from what I can see, the camera you have will connect and function. I don't see a place to mount the mic and that could be a little annoying. The mic is about the size of a hand held, so if that isn't a problem and you have a long enough cable, it may fit your needs. The cable that comes with the mic is not long at all, but finding an extension should not be hard. That would be the biggest concern I could think of.

There is no MIC input on this unit, one may find a way to connect USB sound device (which offers Mic input) to the existing USB port but that will be a long shot.

Yes you can edit videos you just need to download the programe for doing such a work. The computer is really fast and solid to work with gtaphics and videos. We are really happy with this laptop.

yes you can but only if you are using it on Skype or something like that there isn't a switch on the cam per say but as i said if you are using skype you can mute it hope that helps or video quality is the best

Actually I contacted Gopro and the mic can connected via usb I need to go back and change my review I don't know how to do that ??? The review was based on what I saw on tube

I believe there is a mic that can be hooked up to it. As for the sound... I can say it does a decent job, however I usually keep sound off because in the past it was used as a dash cam.

I actually received this product as a reward from coca-cola... anyways... if you, like me, have one that does have a mic cable attached to the camera, then there is a built in microphone. You have to manually select it from your control panel, but it's there, it works. As far as where in the device it is... I don't know. I know that I get the best sound when I talk directly towards the lens.Manufacturer Support Page : http://www.shophde.com/a32i.html
