I want to get a small phantom power supply, such as powered by a 9v battery, that I can use with a wireless XLR transmitter. My wireless system does not supply Phantom power. I plug the receiver into my camcorder.
My camcorder, Sony EA 50, comes with an OK shotgun mic. The camcorder supplies Phantom power. But if I try to use the mic with my Sennheiser SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter it won't work because the transmitter does not supply Phantom power. The transmitter works fine with a dynamic mic.

I want something small. A barrel or XLR to XLR microphone cable with a battery?

I've tried searching, but have come up empty.

Here's a page from B&H. Phantom Power Supplies | B&H Photo Video (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Phantom-Power-Supplies/ci/15142/N/3992462124)

I have used a Fat Boy power supply when I've needed it. Personally the mic from the EA50 really isn't all that good. I have a few of the older versions sitting around in my bag as just in case mics but honestly haven't used them for years. IMO you'd be better off getting a new mic like an AT897 or something like that. Not that costly and better sound but that's just me.

Change your SKP100 to an SKP300 and you have it all in one unit!

You could try the irig hack. It gets very good results from audio people.

I'm happy with my Denecke PS-1A

What sort of mic do you want to plug into your XLR transmitter?

I would like to use the phantom -powered shotgun mic that comes with my Sony EA-50, the ECM-XM1. I am open to buying a better mic, but I thought I could find a battery-powered phantom power supply—small—like a barrel or built into a microphone cable. I don' t see any products like that.
I don't really want to do the Irig hack—though it is tempting to adapt the idea. I need a standard XLR to standard XLR, just like a microphone cable.

Or I'll buy a battery powered AT897 as Don suggested.

The phantom boxes are generally bigger because of the circuitry involved. Personally I think you're better off with a different mic. First like I said I have a few of the NX1's laying around and I used to use them as a last resort. MY general purpose SHOTGUN mic is my AT897, with my AKG Blueline Hyper as my #1 mic and THAT mic I could power with my Fat Boy Phantom supply and my AT plug in transmitter.
We all hate to spend money but I have to think a better mic that can be powered with an AA battery OR phantom power would be a better investment.
However your money your choice.
Good luck.

Hi Steve

When I had my Panasonic cams I used Rode Videomics ..they are a little bulkier than the NG's but are cheap as chips and have a nice output (around -38dbA) so for general use they work very well and, of course are self powered too ... I used to have one on a boom feeding a transmitter and had good results even if the ambient noise was quite high ... Dunno about Hawaii but here they are $149.00 brand new!!

I keep my EA-50 mic on both cameras so I have a nice backup just in case .. they seem to work well at fairly close range but I have never used them remotely. Maybe look for a used Videomic and try it. It does use a 9v battery but they last for years!!

Plenty of them around but as most are built around 9 v batteries, the size means it's a big lump.

Another vote here for a battery powered shotgun mic.

I use a Rode NTG2. It has the option of inserting a single AA cell into the barrel and then phantom power is not required. That is what I always do. I like that it uses AA's as that matches most of my other accessories so cell management is easier.

The shotgun mic itself acts as a second diversity aerial with the Sennheiser G3 transmitter therefore potentially improving the G3's performance.

I've found that the NTG2 with its foamy plus a fury is good outside in a breeze as well.
