Don't waste your time buying this microphone which does not fit the bracket on Sony digital-8 cameras. I can't imagine why they sell this microphone. In retrospect, none of the camera accessories listed on this web site indicate that the ECM-HSI is a viable accessory. It does not mention the microphone.Yet, the specs on the microphone itself indicates that it easily connects to the bracket on the digital-8 cameras. Not is not the case.I wasted my money on two microphones...
