The best way to have an external mic is to use a hot shoe mic. Most Rhode mics are set up this way. If that is not possible there may be some mics using micro USB to hook up to the multi-port on the side of the camera.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need a hotshoe to connect your mic to the Alpha 6000. If your mic does not come supplied with one, please contact the manufacturer for more information on where to get it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you want to use an H1 or H4n, use them with a boom pole. I also use either with a lapel mic. There is no standard mic input on the A6000. You can get a Sony mic that mounts on the hot shoe thought.
