I am in the process of purchasing the FX1 - since it is stereo input (I have no idea why), what are people using?

Beachtek audio adapter. Lets me use two microphones, sends them to L and R individually.

What's wrong with stereo input? Mono recording only would be a turn-off for me.

Sorry, I meant the lack of XLR inputs.
What is the make and model of the Beachtek you have?

For those who want a mic right away and not enough moulah to get a beachteck, you buy a RODE Video Mic.

I have one.... lovely mic for the price. But you cant go past a beachteck.
