Does anyone know of an adapter (that won't set me back big bucks) to
be able to record what I hear in my headset onto the audio input of a
video camera? I'd like to do some narration with a little better audio
quality.

I've seen the cel phone adapters that are out there, and they're
nearly as expensive as a headset with the cel phone jack built-in.

I know a little about electronics, and figure the trick is to match
impedance. I get around 500 ohms on my headsets, and I figure that the
camcorder will need 8 ohms. That's about as far as I've been able to
get. Is anyone out there interested in purchasing one if I'm able to
come up with something?

I'd really like to just buy one, but haven't been able to find
anything on the net.


I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder. Just went to Radio Shack and got the
patch cord with the phono plug on the airplane end and whatever that mic
in plug is on the camera end, I think it's just a mini stereo jack. Get
the phono plug to headset adapter plug and off you go. No matching of
anything required. I set the camera on the glareshield on top of a
sponge and have it held down with elastic.
