You could try using a Rhode VideoMic Pro (it has a small built in preamp, set it to high) with the Pocket camera direct. It should give good enough audio for lockstiin sounds and some interview work, or to use as a scratch track to sync with an external recorder. Unfortunately, the Pocket camera’s audiomis not great, as the mic pepreamps are somewhat noisy.
I had good success using a good mic preamp, like the Sound Devices MixPre D, (they made a small single channel preamp that worked well also) which has a stereo 1/8 line out to feed the Pocket Camers the correct line level signal (set Pocket to line level, 50-75 percent level). This way you get as good an audio recording as yiu would get from the less expensive Zoom-type type audio recorders.
