I have a little pocket videocam for You Tubes and it has a (unique

recommendations?

The spec says 'support stereo' which I take to mean it will record two
channels in a single mic sort of way - worth bothering with or not? I've
no idea!

The built-in mic is actually far from useless, but I suspect benefits
would be gained from plugging in the right external mic, which would not
be too bulky or heavy for starters...??

Suggestions appreciated.



Audio-Technica make a half decent stereo single mic

Ive used both on recording MP3 boxes (my iRiver for example) and they
are both OK
