I was advised that I could use a seperate recording device to record purely audio and then merge it all later.

I know it sounds like a lot of trouble but otherwise I'll have to buy a new camcorder & bullet cam and then still purchase a seperate mic to record decent sound !!

Any advice appreciated !!
I'm interested in knowing what sort of audio it is you are expecting to record? I mean camcorder on car, car doing some speed, wind noise is what you'd hear with the human ear - let alone through a mic. What sound are you trying to capture?

As for portable recording, you could always consider something like a minidisc recorder
