I have an AT835b that can be powered off a AA battery. I am on a limited budget and can't afford a Beachtek right now. For those that are using an XLR to Mini Plug cable could you post a link to the exact one you are using and how well you like it. I will be planning to mount the mic on the cam for now. The reason I'm posting in the HV20 section is because I know that different camera's have different mic inputs and I am looking for something that works for sure with the HV20

here neo here the type plug you need here the radio shack link

That one seems like its for an XLR to 1/4'', I think the input in the HV20 is 1/8''.

Well what I'm looking for is something like this from BHphoto.com

The this is I heard that you need to make sure you get the right cable or it could mess up your mic. I think it has something to do with a small current coming out of the camera's jack, but I'm not sure. Can anyone clarify this?

Is any one using this one?
