External mic's for miniDV cameras

[HighTachPres]

wind noise, argh!
I'm tired of it. We have a suction camera mount that we put on our cars for some action shots, but of course all we get is WIND NOISE

.....is there some type of external device that i can hook to this:
,
an everyday miniDV camera, to get, say engine noise or driver commentation?

Thanks

I would also like to know if there are generic mic's for camera's. I have a JVC, and I haven't come across anything made specifically for it. I have seen some made for Sony cameras, but I don't think they are compatable.

Anyone????

My camera has an external mic hook up on the side in the front. Your's should have something like I would think. I believe they all use the same jack size. Like what you would use for headphones in a CD walkman. I'm not sure what size that is. If you know how to use editing programs, you can put it on your computer, take out the sound from the camera, and put music over it instead. Thats what I've seen in some videos. You can also record yourself if you wanted to put commentary after its been recorded on film. I'm new to all of this too, I'm looking into some on-car mounts right now. Hoped I helped you some.

I believe any mic should work. All you need is the same size connection from the mic cord to the external mic camera inlet. Best Buy, Circuit City, and any other camera store would have em.
