Hardware Queestions - DSLR with no headphone jack

Hi my esteemed list-mates,

Is there a hardware section on this forum?

If not, would you please share any good video/audio related forums for video creation?

Audacity was great for pure audio but I've got a DSLR I record with that doesn't have a headphone jack to check for audio sound so I'm interested in what other video creators have used as work-arounds.

Thank you so much.

Hi,
I wouldn't record audio with just a camera, the audio usually isn't good enough. I use a field recorder (Tascam DR70D in my case) and the camera.
The better audio from the field recorder is used with the video. The camera audio is used as a sync track only,
In my limited experience, automatic audio synchronization works quite well in Resolve.
What are you recording?

I think Sid has good advice. Send the audio to a separate recorder that does have a headphone jack, and feed that to the camera as a scratch track for later sync.

In Option 2 this guys talks re: using an HDMI to VGA adapter when your DSLR camera has no headphones. We have a limited budget so no $ for a sound mixing board nor a better camera. The problem happens when a subject inadvertently turns the lavaliere mic off on him and we can't tell because we have no headphone jack on the camera. This is supposed to give you a headphone jack.

I saw some on Amazon here.

Any you think might be worth a try for $10 or less?

Thank you.

I love the FOINNEX VGA to HDMI Adapter for the convenience it brings. I only have to plug the VGA male adapter, the USB connector, the audio jack, and the HDMI on the opposite side.
