Sony ECM-HST1 Modifications

I really wanted the ability to connect my external wireless and shotgun microphones to my Sony HDR-HC3 camcorder.  Shame on Sony for not providing a microphone input on this camera, but it was the right camera at the right price for me when I needed to go to High Definition in mid 2006.  I didn’t want to be limited to Sony’s small collection of Active Interface Shoe microphones.  After googling around and finding a photo that William Zaggle posted about modifying the Sony ECM-HST1 stereo microphone, I decided to try it myself.  It was a delicate operation to cut the traces and solder such tiny components, but it seems to have succeeded. Here are some pictures I took along the way.  Click any photo for a larger version.

Very very cool concept. I own several of these HDV camcorders and my biggest complaint is the lack of external microphone connections. This quick DIY project fixes that problem. Check it out and if you can, try it out. I know I am.
