5 Ways to Add a Headphone Jack To Your Camera

[@SamsCooking]

I just finished an 8 hr recording just to find out in post, that my audio has a ton of static distortion and is totally unusable. Gutted! I'm now looking for audio monitoring options. Thanks man, this will help. Oh, this has helped! Thanks again Caleb.

[@LycanVisuals]

What method did you use?

[@eltouristoduo]

love the tip for the HDMI adapter. I was aware of the recorder options. It can depend on what recorder how easy that is and how well it works. Trying to record a headphone output into a camera (or in general) can be an issue for a couple of reasons. 1. Sometimes aspects of the headphone signal are not quite as good as the actual signal before it went through that headphone output. 2. Sometimes it can be difficult to deal with the massively different levels that are represented by a headphone output and a mic input. You generally have to set the headphone output very low. Overall this issue unfortunately is just too complicated to make any clear generalizations, it's like you'd have to do extensive testing on each device to really know how it compares. Always remember to set camera audio input to manual because auto will not only increase noise but actually create compression artifacts that you don't want. Not even most audio recorders have adjustable compressors (though some have different presets and tell you the settings for them in the manual) and it's difficult to have a clue what sort of compression/limiting is being done by the 'auto' setting in camera. Compression is really best done in post because you really never want to use more than you need. The main advantage to using auto is it should keep there from being clipping but that should not be an issue if your level is set well. Set your level to err on the side of a bit low, never push it. You can't fix clipping in post.

Alright. I'm sold. I'm buying your video guide for the G85. You have a great way of explaining things simply and you seem to be focused on real world practicality (as opposed to being a "specs snob").

I had an issue using the HDMI to VGA adaptor with my Panasonic G80. I didn't recognise that anything was plugged in unless I actually connected a screen to the VGA part of the adaptor as well. My solution to this was to put three small 100ohm resistors between the R, G and B pins and their corresponding ground pins on the adaptor. This created a load in the circuit and the camera then believed something was plugged in. After that everything worked fine. I hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Very odd. I did find that not all HDMI to VGA adapters worked. The two I linked to did work for me and the a6500.

[@joshuadrilon3832]

Yeah...I have a problem with my one too. When I put in the mini hdmi for some reason my camera automatically take photos non-stop, that is until I take it out. Honestly don't know what to do 😩

[@asandovalhatchet]

[@Sharlenestudzy-more]

I know this was a year ago but I recently got a Sony a 5000 and I was wondering can any of these work as a external mic because I think it doesn’t come with a external mic so can one of these be an option to use for this or is this only with just headphone jack.

[@andrewkrahn2629]

If you can't get audio from the HDMI to VGA adapter trick: Some VGA adapters will only pipe audio through the 3.5mm port if the VGA adapter is connected to something. For us it was as simple as grabbing another little brick adapter, VGA to DVI out of a bin of old parts. Also, check if your adapter needs power (usually micro USB). I think it's only needed for analog to digital, not this way, but it's worth checking.

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

hello is your hdmi to vga adapter same as at this timestamp 3:09 and when i plug it into my camera and earphone..No audio comes out..Please help how to fix it or any tricks thanks

[@erwickdsouza]

I have an additional suggestion that blends the 4th setup and the 5th one. I just make sure that the output monitor level and the input level on my camera match up. I simply use the recorder for monitoring and boosting my sound so that I can turn down the camera's input. It's hassle-free, clean and you don't really need to use the recorder's sound unless you're recording more than two tracks in. It's simply a technique I lifted out of sound-engineering class. My Camera is a Canon eos Rebel T6i/750D and my recorder is a Zoom H6 with the XY mics and a Rode VideoMicro attached. I use Zoom's plugin in my DAW to blend the three inputs into two. We call this Mid-Side recording.

[@evolnull125]

did not get that. Can you explain again? if the audio from Zoom still gonna be a lot better though..

[@JuanCamacho21]

This was really helpful! I am going to go with the last option.

Hey there! Can you please tell me how best to monitor audio on the Sony ZV-1? It doesn't have a headphone jack, so I was wondering what option would be best (or can it be done via bluetooth headphones perhaps?) - Thanks a million, I'm a complete luddite so really appreciate your videos and any advice! :)

[@crossnetworkllc]

Thank you for this video! Although, the preamp is going to be the best option specifically I recommend the TASCAM DR-60 because you can use professional mics and can run it straight to camera to eliminate extra step of having to sync in post.

[@NerdPanic]

Very useful video, thank you! The hdmi adaptor tip is great and cheap. That's what I'm going with for now

[@C0llinsW0rth.]

would you be able to make a tutorial on using the recorder / duel monitor / save option. I'm really interested in that as it seems like it'll give the best audio and it's safe. I'd love to see a quick tutorial video on how to get that working on an a6300. Always love your videos, be well!

[@divide-nik8596]

The last Option while convenient.. is in fact quite risky. If the zoom runs out of battery or has an error you will loose all your audio. If your recording.. and you have only one shot.. then better eyeball the audio on the camera with the audio levels (use a videomic pro for example) and record the audio seperatly with the zoom and the headphones. This way you always have 2 recordings. I write this because ive been in the situation where my zoom H4 decided to bug out mid recording, this can happen with every software recorder.

[@AydanM]

Would these options work with an external shotgun mic (ie tackstar, rode, etc)

[@ariqkamil571]

[@jordanhernandez2541]

I tried the dongle option and it’s not working with mine. My screen goes black with no settings or anything and I’ve tried everything. I don’t know what the hell to do. I shoot 1080 not 4K so. It’s a canon EOS 77D

[@katykipling]

Aydan Metsch my understanding is that it will not work. I recently ordered a rode after I was told it was compatible with my a6000, which it is not as there is no 3.5 mm port. Anyway, if you go on KZbin and type in Sony a6000 rode mic fix, you can find tutorials of what people do to bypass this issue. This is what a lot of people do, they buy this phone adapter which I will like below, and record the sound separately on there phone. If u buy a rigcage u can mount the phone and the mic up top. I ended up returning my rode and going with the at2035, the entire reason why I wanted a shotgun mic was to avoid editing audio in post, but if I’d have to do that anyway, I might as well buy an xlr condenser mic and get better quality through phantom power. (Most interfaces for xlr mics have a port so u can hear yourself while recording as well, so it seemed kinda like a waste to have the rode go through the camera, and not only would audio have to be recorded on my phone, but I’d have no way to hear myself.) I hope this explains things a bit, I’m getting my equipment to start a channel so I’ve been doing quite a bit of research. I know you asked this a while ago, but I saw other people were still seeking answers so I figured I’d let u all know what I’ve found out so far when reading into mics and other tech for cameras with no 3.5mm port. If you have any questions feel free to ask, if I know the answer I’d be happy to respond 😊 Edit: also; thatonecameraguy is a youtuber that has answered many of my questions about video production, photos, and cameras in general; I highly recommend his channel to anyone interested in this kind of stuff. www.bestbuy.com/site/rode-0-55-3-5mm-trs-to-trrs-patch-cable-red/6255439.p?skuId=6255439&ref=212&loc=1&ds_rl=1260672&ds_rl=1266837&ref=212&loc=1&ds_rl=1266837&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3IPgBRCAARIsABb-iGItaWAmFaXnV_hSorf7udN4W_E7j3Ep-pk1rkIRnygtrXSDeyybwGkaArOwEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

You didn't explain how to plug the zoom into the camera? Zoom headphone jack to what? The mic jack? Hdmi?

[@piotrmaziarz6436]

To the mic jack. It's an input, while HDMI is just and output.

[@vegetablepolice]

I thought the mic jack was only an output? I just tried it, and it sounded terrible lol. Could just be my cord sucks.

[@georgeluckhurst509]

I knew I would find you hear. Now you need to redo your mic vid from the other day, all those mics in all those situations with all the above suggested monitoring methods. That should keep you busy to Christmas, hehe. God Damn Fruit Flies

[@dslrvideoshooter]

From the H1, split the output. Send one 3.5mm to your camera's mic jack. Send the second 3.5mm to your headphones.

Vegetable Police look for the Hosa YMM-261 Stereo breakout 3.5 mm TRS to dual 3.5 TSF (gives you two mono signals from one stereo, one for headphone one for camera.)

I use the zoom h1 method, but record audio on both the camera and recorder........and than use pluraleyes to sync up in post (just one click)......that way I still get high quality wav files that are easier to clean up in post (I like to set my levels lower so I have room for peaking)

Can confirm the Monitor option does not work on my Olympus em5ii, but works superbly on my Sony a7c (which already has a headphone jack and hence is redundant)! So for audio monitoring, Olympus users need one of the bigger models with the built in headphone jack. Unless an EM5III or new OM5 user can correct me?

Oh man so many thanks for making this video! I've been wanting to minitor audio from my cameras for years now and finally I've found a way to do it! Thankyou! :)

[@analilia0656]

The issue with the last solution is that the phones output is too hot for the camera to handle. Even if the recorder isn't sending audio (in idle mode) the camera will be peaking with just noise. I don't know about the H1, but the H4n and some Tascams I've worked with have that issue.

[@smashtime1904]

Your final option is basically the same thing I do without plugging it into my gx85 at the end. I (usually) end up with one good track on my dr22 and (hopefully) get to delete the crappy one from the camera - there's no amount of noise reduction or fine tuning to make that sound better.

Why a modern 4K bridge camera that costs $550-$1000 has a mic jack but no headphone jack makes me wonder if the camera companies have a clue as to how these cameras are being used.

[@bdonne07]

So with your last solution, are you saying that the gain level you set on the recorder has no effect on the level set in the camera? In other words, you could set the Zoom to be kind of a safety track where your audio peaks around -20 or something, and then have your in camera settings set in the camera menu system to peak around -6 or so? I was under the impression that the signal coming out of the zoom would be the signal going into the camera.

Im trying to make it work with a M50 and the mini HDMI to VGA option. But as soon as I connect the adapter the screen goes to black. So I can monitor audio BUT I lose the screen :(. Have you come to solve that problem mate?

I am trying to understand the final setup better, so if someone can comment on this that would be awesome! First, can I use the microphone from the recorder (rather than an additional external mic) to record the audio and send it to the camera? And second, when we connect the recorder to the camera, does the camera automatically use that sound and put it together with the video, or does it still use its own microphone? Thanks!

On the second one could you connect the hdmi to your camera and the aux to a lapel mic? Would the Audi be good? Please some respond to this!!!

I am trying Benfei product out on my Nikon D5500 and I am not having any luck as the screen just goes black. The Nikon D5500 does not record 4K and is not a mirroless camera. So please give me some advice. Thanks.
