Sony ECM-HST1 Modification Suggestions?
I have a Sony 3CMOS DCR-PC1000 and I'm looking to get better sound by connecting an extenal mic all while keeping the form factor as compact as possible. Now the HST1 fits the hot shoe, but the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired. Is there a way one could improve it by replacing the capsule inside with a Shure MX184, with an external power supply for example? I realize the HST1 is a stereo mic, and the latter is a mono.

Ideally, I tend to share your view. However, (a) I don't always have a second person who can assist with the audio recording. (b) I'm mainly interested in recording better quality ambient sounds, not necessarily dialog or instruments. So, having a nice and quiet mic with good S/N that is sensitive enough is what I'm after. I might end up going with a modified hot shoe attachment and a Sound Professionals single point stereo mic setup.....Still working out the details.
