Boom mic for Canon XL1

[ben]

i need to know what kind of mic to get for a Canon XL1 to connect to a boom. i am VERY new to sound and stuff (i used to just use the built in mic, and this is going to be my first time using hte Canon XL1), and i do now know what to do.

Sorry if this is a very broad question, but please help me out.

i guess what i need to know is what kind of mic will connect to the input on the XL1.

thanks in advance

Here's the thread on sound/microphones/ etc.

As for connecting a boom to your XL-1, you'll need a handy XLR adaptor (and XLR cables, too). Canon makes one specifically for the camera, as do a few other manufacturers such as Beacktek.
