Mico phone problem


i am a newbie and i am not sure where the problem is


i tell you what i have so then its easier to find the problem
i got a gs230 panasonic camcorder from uk shop
i got a ntg2 mircophone from ebay (the man is in hong kong)
i got a cable from the rode maufactor in uk( didn't keep receipt as it was cheap




every time i use the mic while i am recording , the camcorder has a hissing sound
when i don't use the mic the camcorder is very clear.




i talked to the guy in hong kong and he said it might have something to do with the cable.
I think its the mic but i am not sure


does any one know where the problem is


thank you

This sounds really obvious but have you tried the mic on another camcorder?

your right i havnt. i have to find some one with a camcorder

do you think it has any thing to do with the cable that connects the camcorder and mic together.

i am going to test it out in the shops and see what happens.
