A1U XLR Block on FX1/FX7
Does anyone know if the XLR block assembly for the A1U can be used on the FX1 or FX7?

That XLR block uses an Active Interface Shoe to get the audio into the camcorder. I think it might be specific to the A1, but I would like to be wrong on that one.
The FX1 and FX7 do not have an Active Interface Shoe that I can tell. The best thing I can say is that you can look at BeachTek's line of XLR adapters. |

Thanks. That's what I expected. I was hoping to save a little if I upgrade to and FX1 of FX7. I hate to do without the XLR, but the Z1U and V1U are still out of my price range. The A1U is a great little camera, but I need something with better low light performance.
I'll keep dreaming.

I don't remember where, but I read a posting on this forum about a month ago which stated the firmware on the HC1 did not support the XLR block.

I'll find out if it works this evening. I have both cameras. I can't believe I never thought to try this.

Sorry about the delay. I'm also sorry to say: No it doesn't work.
To clarify: I plugged my A1 XLR block into the HC1 shoe. The camera never switched from the on-board stereo mics. |
